I have been a licensed social worker since July 2017, but I have been helping New Mexico military families, Veterans, aging population and the homeless for over 12 years. As a military veteran, I understand the struggles with adapting to civilian life, and have experience working with substance abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, chronic pain and coping with stress. I love working with tweens and teens and I have experience with couples and family therapy.

I practice a person-centered, solution focused, strengths based modality. My goal is to help you identify what areas are not working in your life right now and help you develop the tools you need to help you cope with all of life's stress and challenges.
I would love the opportunity to help walk you through any challenge. I believe in our Moto, "Be Me Better: The Place YOU Grow". I am accepting new patients and offer day, evening and Saturday appointments.
