Life can feel like too much sometimes.
Maybe you're carrying anxiety that won’t quiet down. Maybe you're stuck in cycles that leave you feeling exhausted or disconnected. Or maybe you’ve been through things that changed you, and now you’re trying to make sense of who you are and how to move forward. If any of that sounds familiar, I want you to know you’re not alone and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself.
I’m a licensed therapist in New Mexico and Texas with experience supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship struggles, and self-esteem challenges. My approach is rooted in compassion and collaboration. I meet you where you are, and we work together to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected.
I draw from Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centered practices. That means we’ll explore your inner world, develop skills to manage emotions and thoughts, and focus on what really matters to you...not just what’s “supposed” to matter.
You don’t have to perform or prove anything in therapy. You get to show up as you are, even if that feels messy. This is a space where we can unpack what’s been weighing on you and begin building something new.
You’re allowed to take up space. You’re allowed to heal. And you don’t have to do it alone.
Let’s take that first step together.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
