In a world overwhelmed with email, status updates, smartphones, and push technology, the speed at which we “connect” can seem to only reinforce a disconnect with ourselves and others. Creating space for true connection and reflection is essential to finding and staying true to ourselves. ReNewNM was created to instill a renewed focus on self, connection, and community. We are business minds and caregivers, connectors and innovators, working in concert to create a space for continual reflection, understanding, growth, and clarity.
“My approach to therapy is rooted in a blend of evidenced-based and humanistic modalities, reflecting both my professional training and philosophy on growth and healing.”
I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. My academic background includes an Associates degree in Applied Science Paralegal Studies from Central New Mexico, a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of New Mexico, and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. I began my journey in mental health as a Trained Peer Counselor at the Agora Crisis Center, where I discovered a passion for helping others. Since earning my master’s degree in 2016, I have been a licensed therapist, working with individuals, couples, and families from diverse backgrounds in a clinic setting.
My clinical experience includes helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, substance use, grief/loss, gender identity, life transitions, and stress management through various therapeutic modalities tailored to individual needs. My approach to therapy is rooted in a blend of evidenced-based and humanistic modalities, reflecting both my professional training and philosophy on growth and healing. I have trained in various therapeutic modalities – Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy.
I was born and raised in the Philippines, spending my formative years in a place where family and community were at the heart of everyday life. My grandparents played a central role in my upbringing, shaping my values and perspective on the world. At 14, my life took a drastic turn when I moved to the United States. The transition was a culture shock in every sense. In the US, I had to navigate a new world, balancing the values instilled in me by my grandfather with the expectations of a different society. Despite the challenges, my early years in the Philippines gave me a strong foundation. The warmth of my childhood, the lessons of resilience and the unwavering belief in kindness and empathy continues to guide me.
At ReNewNM, we know that we are all on a journey of the human experience.

By prioritizing personal growth and self-awareness, our therapists are better equipped to guide clients on their own journeys toward healing and self-discovery. Your well-being is at the heart of everything we do, and we strive to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered.
