About
As a nurse practitioner who has spent years walking beside individuals through vulnerable moments, I offer a warm, supportive space where you can feel safe, valued, and understood.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of nursing experience supporting clients through anxiety, depression, trauma, and life stressors. I work with teens and adults, and my approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in creating a safe, culturally sensitive space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to work toward your goals. I focus on helping clients build stability and confidence.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Walden University. My approach includes evidence-based medication management along with cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, and a calm, patient-centered style to guide treatment.
Reaching out for support is a brave step, and you deserve care that feels safe, steady, and compassionate. I’m here to listen, guide, and walk with you as you move toward healing. When you’re ready, I would be honored to support you on your path forward.

My go-to approach for helping people in family therapy is to use an attachment-based style with education around unhealthy relationship patterns and guide people to learn skills for shifting their relationship interactions. I prefer this style due to its increased effectiveness in helping couples, families, parents, children, and anyone with any form of relationship in their lives evolve their understanding of unhealthy patterns, learn to shift those patterns, and build the tools to develop boundaries in relationships as well.
In family therapy, I help people build attunement and increase their emotional intelligence/awareness using meditation, mindfulness, and neuropsychology to help them build new behavioral patterns. We will use gratitude work, open door communication, and 'I feel' and 'I need' statements. We also learn how to communicate and create positive feedback patterns rather than negative feedback and reinforcement patterns.
Clients make meaningful progress in family therapy when there is more open communication between family members, the family is able to freely express emotions without attacking each other, and all members work to listen and understand what the other family members are feeling in order to create solutions that benefit the whole family and support each member.
During their personal time, clients can use the tools and homework that the clinician gives them to practice and solidify the skills and knowledge they are building to change their interactions.
To prepare for the first session, the best thing a family can do is be ready and open to hearing and accepting each side as truth. They may not agree or see things in the same way as the other person, but having compassion for another person's perspective is how they can start to connect.
Family therapy helps families resolve conflicts and strengthen their relationships. It is led by qualified mental health professionals like psychologists, licensed professional counselors (LPCs), and licensed clinical social workers (LCSWs) who have extensive training in family dynamics and group communication.
Thriveworks family therapists in Albuquerque, NM usually begin by asking what everyone’s goals are for family counseling. Family members may need help with very specific issues or with general relationship functioning. But there are three main purposes in family counseling: to educate, to counsel, and to strengthen. Thriveworks also offers online family therapy and in-person services, so you may all meet in an office together or join a video call from your home depending on everyone’s location and availability.
The most effective form of Family therapy will often depend on the family itself, as there are many types of family therapy for therapists to use as they see fit in order to best meet the needs of their clients. However, one of the most commonly used types of family therapy is structural family therapy (SFT). SFT focuses specifically on family dynamics and interactions, looking at how they shape the relationships and structure present in the family. It can be effectively used to treat a variety of concerns.
This answer often looks different to each family that starts family therapy. However, some signs that your family might need to consider family counseling include frequent fights or misunderstandings, constant tension, experiencing loss, behavioral issues, marital issues, divorce, and blended family issues, among others.
In family therapy, therapists will often start by asking questions and assessing individual and family dynamics. From there, they may employ therapeutic techniques such as structured family therapy, CBT, strategic family therapy, and more depending on the present concerns and conflicts. From there, a therapist will work to open lines of communication between family members and facilitate emotional healing and growth.
Family therapy can be incredibly successful, with some studies reporting a success rate of almost 90% for improving participants’ emotional and mental health, and around 66% for improving their physical health.
Thriveworks therapists in Albuquerque, NM offer both online family therapy and in-person family therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Family therapy is usually short term and solution-focused, with most families accomplishing their goals in 12 sessions or fewer. However, it can also last for longer if the probles at hand are more complex — and that’s okay, too.
