About My Clients
I work with adults navigating the weight of past trauma, grief, and life transitions. My clients often come feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or alone — carrying anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or relationship struggles tied to what they've been through. They're motivated to heal but unsure where to start. If you're tired of feeling held back from the life you want, you're in the right place. I serve clients in Albuquerque and across New Mexico via telehealth.
My Background and Approach
I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) with 5 years in practice, certified in Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories (RTM) — a gentle, evidence-based approach to processing trauma without re-traumatization. My approach is trauma-informed and person-centered, rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life. My role is to walk alongside you as you process what's happened, reclaim your sense of self, and build the future you deserve. I integrate attachment-based, somatic, IFS, CBT, and mindfulness approaches as fits each client. I founded Rise Above Therapy because healing should feel like partnership — collaborative, grounded, and focused on real progress. Beyond my own caseload, our group practice offers EMDR, DBT, couples counseling, teen therapy, and bilingual English/Spanish services. I'll personally help match you with the right therapist if I'm not the best fit. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Presbyterian, and UnitedHealthcare.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
As a woman business owner, I'm committed to creating a therapy practice that is inclusive, affirming, and accessible to people from all walks of life. Rise Above Therapy is a safe space for clients of every identity, orientation, and background — including LGBTQIA+ individuals and couples, BIPOC clients, and those who have felt unseen by traditional mental health spaces. I believe therapy should never be a luxury, which is why we work with most major insurance plans and our team includes bilingual English/Spanish clinicians to better serve Albuquerque's diverse community. I'm passionate about reducing the stigma around mental health, especially for adults who were taught that asking for help is weakness. It's not. Reaching out is one of the strongest things you can do — and you don't have to do it alone.
