I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW), offering a non-judgmental, safe, and supportive space where you can grow and flourish as an individual. I welcome clients from across New Mexico, a state I’ve proudly called home for over 20 years. As an individual born into a multiracial family and a member of the LGBTQIA2+ community, I bring a culturally aware and inclusive perspective to my practice. For over a decade, I have dedicated my work to serving our community and continuously expanding my knowledge to better support individuals from all walks of life.

I have experience working with adult individuals navigating severe mental illness, dual diagnosis, relational conflict, addiction, life transitions, and self-discovery. My therapeutic approach incorporates a variety of evidence-based interventions, including Solution-Focused Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness practices, crisis intervention, strengths-based approaches, psychoeducation, and Motivational Interviewing.

When working with children and teens, I utilize developmentally appropriate and evidence-based interventions tailored to meet their unique emotional and psychological needs. My approach often includes play therapy and expressive arts, which provide young clients with a safe and creative outlet to process emotions and experiences that may be difficult to express verbally. I also incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help youth build emotional regulation skills, challenge negative thought patterns, and improve interpersonal relationships/conflict. For teens experiencing trauma, I offer trauma-informed care and mindfulness practices that support healing and resilience. My goal is to create a supportive environment where children and adolescents feel seen, heard, and empowered to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and self-awareness.
