Online counseling for anxiety, depression, and relationships in Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, & Corrales—supporting resilience and growth.

Social Worker in Corrales, NM

About My Clients

Many of my clients are individuals, couples, and families struggling with anxiety, depression, and relationship conflict. You may feel stuck in stress, grief, or communication patterns that no longer work, even while trying your best to cope. I specialize in helping people in Albuquerque, Corrales, and Rio Rancho find relief, strengthen communication, and build resilience. Together, we’ll create strategies that fit your life and values so you can move forward with greater clarity and balance.

My Background and Approach

I am a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) with training in evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, and relationship-focused interventions. My background includes working with diverse individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, communication issues, and relationship stress. Throughout my career, I’ve supported clients facing challenges such as grief, family conflict, life transitions, and persistent patterns that affect their relationships and emotional well-being. My clinical training allows me to provide practical tools for managing emotions and improving communication, while also addressing deeper dynamics that may be holding you back. My work centers on helping clients not only find relief from immediate struggles but also build resilience and long-term strategies for growth. Whether you’re seeking support for yourself or your family, my goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where meaningful change can happen.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

At the heart of my work is a belief that everyone deserves to feel seen, valued, and supported. I strive to create an affirming space where clients of all backgrounds feel safe to bring their full selves, including members of the LGBTQIA+ community and other marginalized groups. I value compassion, respect, and authenticity, both in my professional work and in my daily life. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with family, connecting with nature, and caring for my pets—experiences that remind me of the importance of balance, connection, and self-care. I believe that change is possible when we feel supported and understood, and it’s an honor to walk alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges.
