- LMHC
Hi there! I’m licensed in New Mexico and Florida and enjoy working with college students and adult women experiencing trauma, relational or boundary issues, and anxiety. I am trained in EMDR therapy and use solution-focused narrative approaches, boundary implementation, and attachment-focused work in sessions. I am dedicated to helping clients overcome trauma and emotional challenges. I believe creating a safe space is the foundation for successful therapy, and I am passionate about walking alongside clients on their healing journeys.
