Preferred Name: Sam
About Me
I am a queer cis woman in Albuquerque, NM. I am passionate about empowering others to see their own strengths and use their strengths to overcome challenges. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental space to facilitate profound healing and peace of mind.
Education & Experience
I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Human Services from Metropolitan State University of Denver, and I received my Master’s of Clinical Social Work Degree from New Mexico Highlands University. I primarily work with ages 14+. I have experience working with folks who have experienced trauma and abuse, queer folxs, and survivors of domestic violence. As someone who is neuro-divergent myself, I utilize a neuro-affirming approach in my clinical work and adapt EMDR to best fit your processing style. Aside from EMDR, I am trained in parts work, mindfulness, Solution Focused Therapy, and utilize a strengths based approach.
