Therapist

I have been in practice for almost 15 years and am passionate about helping people achieve the best version of themselves. I believe that life and happiness is all about balance. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches such as CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Family Systems, and Gottman Therapy to address my client’s concerns.

I believe in the mind, body, and spirit connection. I am a person-centered counselor who will work with you to find the tools and resources that best fit your personality and situation. I offer an integrated approach to counseling that includes art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic and mindfulness techniques, attachment repair and compassionate non-judgemental reflective listening. I am culturally sensitive, LGQBTIA+ friendly and provide a trauma informed safe space to process your unique circumstance. I offer both in person and online counseling for individuals 15 and older. I have over 20 years of professional experience including case management for people with disabilities, career and life goals development for troubled teenagers, elder care, support for neurodivergent individuals and people in hospice. If you are struggling with overwhelming stress, depression, anxiety, trauma or are seeking ways to better your life, together we can create attainable goals to bring you back in balance with your life’s purpose.

I am a Mental Health Therapist in training at Back in Balance Counseling. I am currently enrolled in graduate school at New Mexico Highlands University and working towards earning my Masters of Social Work Degree to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Before devoting myself to being a Mental Health Therapist, I worked as a Paramedic Firefighter for our local Fire Department, and have worked as a Paramedic in various local Emergency Departments. I am passionate about serving our community, especially those who are under-served and underrepresented.
