Find a therapist in New Mexico — covered by insurance

I work with people who are used to handling things on their own but are starting to feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, or mentally drained. From the outside, things may look fine, but internally it’s getting harder to keep up the same pace without feeling it.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Houston. I’ve worked across both medical and behavioral health settings, so I’m comfortable navigating real-life situations and helping you get clear on what’s actually going on.

I’m lighthearted and easy to talk to, but also direct and intentional. I don’t overcomplicate things, and I pay attention to what matters.

I am a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to helping individuals achieve emotional wellness through personalized care. I do provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management tailored to each patient's needs. My clinical focus includes anxiety disorders, mood disorders, depression, panic attacks, stress, trauma, PTSD, insomnia, emotional regulation, ADHD, and bipolar disorder. I apply a collaborative and culturally sensitive approach, while ensuring patients feel comfortable and actively involved in their treatment. I see patients throughout Texas, Arizona; and New Mexico via telehealth, telepsychiatry, and online psychiatrist services.

I graduated from Texas Woman's University with a BSN; University of Calgary, Canada, MSN, Grand Canyon University AGACNP; and Walden University, PMHNP. Altogether, I have been in the healthcare profession for 18 years. I have worked in hospitals, long-term care, nursing homes, and home health services. All these experiences inform my care delivery to patients in any setting. I have cared for pediatric, young adult, adult, and geriatric populations. Also, I have experience as a hospitalist and in internal medicine with oncology patients.

I bring a lifetime of experience and an eclectic approach to my work. I have worked as a teacher and school social worker for over 25 years, and also have worked with adolescents through seniors in community behavioral health.

I have significant experience working with diverse cultures and also in the LGBTQIA community. I really enjoy working with people and helping them move along in their personal journeys.

I am a seasoned professional who specializes in working with highly sensitive people. My varied training including Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Spiritual Response Therapy enables me to help you go deep, get to the root of an issue, and create satisfying resolutions.

I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico where a transpersonal approach was fostered, that is, taking into account the psychological as well as the spiritual aspects of our clients. I also studied at the Coaches Training Institute, EMDRIA for EMDR training, The Gestalt Institute of Santa Fe, the Hypnotherapy Academy of America in Albuquerque NM, and the Spiritual Response Association. I am also a life-long meditator and spiritual practitioner. In addition to working as a therapist for the last 21 years, I have been a marketing director, a psychic and a life coach.

Many of my clients are healers, therapists, teachers, artists, psychics and spiritual practitioners. They are seeking someone who can understand their rich inner world as well as the challenges of their outer world. They are seeking a therapist who can track intuitively and work with them respectfully to release unwanted limiting beliefs and traumas so that they can truly shine and achieve their goals.

I am currently writing a book called, "The Misfit Mystic" which addresses the issue of struggling to fit into society with psychic and spiritual sensibilities.
