I graduated from the University of New Mexico with a Master’s in Counselor Education, specializing in clinical mental health and school counseling. My undergraduate work in Human Development and Family Studies, from Texas Tech University, prepared me for lifelong learning about the human condition. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC, License #CCMH0167911) and have worked in a clinic setting since 2011. I have been trained in many modalities and theories, including Imago couple’s therapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Existential theory, and am a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional.  I have experience in individual, group, couples/sex and intimacy issues, affair recovery, and family therapy. My focus has included relational conflict, anxiety, depression, gender identity, sexual orientation, substance use, grief/loss, stress, and all of life’s transitions.

I am an Approved Clinical Supervisor and have provided supervision for interns and lower licensed providers as they enter and work in the mental health field. I take great honor in teaching and supporting my peers as they strive to work with people’s most confidential and important areas of life.

I was born and raised in El Paso, TX and have spent the majority of my life here in the southwest. I wear many hats, and constantly strive to land in a place of balance.  I feel that by practicing the mindfulness of balance of all parts of my life, I can work with people to define theirs. When I’m not wearing my counselor hat, I love being a part of my family and friend’s time, pretending to organize my home, working out, and being with my kiddo. I love to buy books with every intention to read them, watch reruns, and listen to podcasts.
