About Me

I was born and raised in the high desert of Northern New Mexico, a place whose beauty, and wisdom I carry with me, always.

I grew up as the eldest of two daughters, raised by a single mother who struggled with debilitating depression. Her suffering shaped me deeply. It taught me to pay attention to pain, and to care about mental health, healing, and the gentle power of presence.

My path into this work began in 2003, when I first volunteered as a crisis counselor at the Agora Crisis Center at the University of New Mexico. The experience of holding space in moments of despair was a catalyst that led me to social work, and eventually to therapy, consulting, and teaching.

Over the last 20 years, I’ve worked across child welfare, hospice, medical social work, and integrated care. My practice continues to evolve and is rooted in a soulful, relational, and decolonial approach to healing.

I support people and communities through trauma-informed therapy, grief work, expanded states of consciousness, and collective healing. I also supervise and mentor other therapists, something I take seriously, because good supervision and mentorship has shaped who I have become.

As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am committed to providing affirming care and creating safe, grounded spaces for those who belong to the Queer community. I work with those navigating grief, identity, anxiety, depression, and interpersonal trauma. I’m bilingual in Spanish and offer services to Spanish-speaking clients.

I currently split my time between Los Angeles, New Mexico, and occasionally Colorado. I offer telehealth sessions for therapy, coaching, and consulting. My approach is down-to-earth and heart-centered. I see my role as a collaborator, a guide, and a witness. I work to create a space where you can show up fully, feel safe in your vulnerability, and reconnect with your own inner knowing, no matter the type of work we are doing together.
