  • Community-Centered Therapeutic Services

    I specialize in teaching skills to build upon your emotional intelligence and intuition. This includes learning how to identify and communicate emotions,  read body cues, practice distress tolerance and mindfulness.

  • Clinical Supervision and Consultation

    I am a board approved clinical supervisor in New Mexico. I am passionate about providing mental health education using an intersectional, culturally sensitive and trauma-informed approach on consent, abuse/neglect, relationships and intergenerational trauma.

  • Individual, Relationship and Family Therapy

    You can expect a quirky, gentle, nonjudgmental space for you to be heard and believed. I aim to center my work around respecting the dignity and worth of individuals and our collective need for social medicine.

  • Approach

    I take an intergenerational approach to healing. I believe that each generation has strength and wisdom that other generations can learn from. I am passionate about working towards healing the wounds of intergenerational trauma caused by colonial exploitation (including settler colonialism),  racism, sexism, classism, homophobia and transphobia. My approach emphasizes self-acceptance, compassion, and curiosity.
