Introduction

I am a therapist based in Eldorado - Santa Fe providing inclusive and welcoming support in-person and virtually. From day one, I strive to create a comfortable environment in which my clients can feel at ease. I deeply respect the courage it takes to start therapy and am committed to providing an experience that resonates with you. ​ I am known for my warmth, patience, curiosity, and energy. I believe change comes from authenticity and vulnerability, from deepening our understanding of how we became who we are. Together, we will explore ways to proactively approach your goals and makes changes to what holds you back. ​ I work successfully with individuals who feel stuck; that something is blocking them from getting to where they want to be. They may have lost their motivation, self-confidence, feel sad or fearful, have difficulties in relationships, or are haunted by things that have happened to them. ​ I specialize in work with teenagers and adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship problems. My worldview and approach to my work are trauma-informed within an anti-oppression framework. My sessions are safe and non-judgmental, all are welcome. I work primarily from a Somatic approach, utilizing EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Internal Family Systems approach. I meet clients where they are and engage a therapy style that works best for them. ​ I have spent the past 20+ years working with survivors of trauma. I have a deep respect for the courage and strength it takes to heal and admire the resilience in every person I've been honored to work alongside.
