Education & Experience

I hold an MSW in Clinical Social Work from New Mexico Highlands University, a BA in Sociology with a minor in Women's Studies from the University of New Mexico, and an AAS in Paralegal Studies from Santa Fe Community College. With over 15 years of trauma-informed care experience, I specialize in EMDR, relational, and integrative therapies to facilitate deep healing. Throughout my career, I have led therapy groups designed to maximize individual healing through collective support and shared growth. My experience spans private practice, group counseling, and emergency psychiatric services, where I have also provided expert testimony in OPC hearings. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and hold advanced certifications, including CCTP-II, CTMH, CIMHP, CSTS, and C-DBT.
