I have over 20 years' experience working in the mental health field with people of all ages. My work emphasizes healing trauma, intersection of identities, and working with military veterans.  I am a LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist.

​

I am a member of the National Association of Social Workers, the Vice President of NAMI Southern New Mexico Board, a Board Member of The Counseling Center, and I also volunteer for several community initiatives. 

​

In addition to my clinical work, I have trained over 200 people in Otero County on Mental Health First Aid and Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) Training. I have facilitated workshops throughout New Mexico and Washington on topics including race, class, gender, LGBTQIA+, and microagressions. I have presented workshops at Gender Odyssey International, Psychosocial Rehabilitation Association of New Mexico, and Washington Play Therapy Association.
