About
Be kind, because everyone is fighting a hard battle. As a bilingual clinician who has worked across diverse communities in both New Mexico and Illinois, I strive to meet each client with empathy, cultural sensitivity, and a deep respect for their unique journey.
I am a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 31 years of experience supporting individuals from diverse backgrounds with trauma, grief, addiction, relationship stress, immigration concerns, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and multicultural issues. As a bilingual therapist, I provide services in both English and Spanish and bring cultural sensitivity and lived understanding into the therapeutic space. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, stress, and major life transitions.
I earned my master’s in counseling from Catholic Theological Union. My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, respect, and collaboration. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs.
You do not have to navigate life’s challenges alone. I offer a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered. Together, we will work to strengthen your inner resilience, gain clarity, and move toward healing, growth, and a greater sense of peace.

As someone who values empowerment, I teach my clients to reclaim their voice and self-worth. I offer a space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported without judgment. My approach is conversational, helping clients feel comfortable opening up and exploring their experiences at their own pace.
I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 8 years of experience supporting adults, adolescents, and families through life’s challenges. I specialize in depression, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, stress management, and women’s issues. My goal is to provide a warm, safe, and collaborative space where you can explore your experiences, strengthen your coping skills, and begin creating meaningful and lasting change.
I earned my master’s in social work from Boise State University. My style is conversational, compassionate, and client centered. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, solution-focused strategies, mindfulness-based practices, and strength-based approaches to help clients build insight and develop healthier patterns.
Life can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate it alone. I aim to support you with empathy, understanding, and genuine care. Together, we will work to uncover patterns, process emotions, strengthen your self-awareness, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling, and empowered life. I look forward to supporting you on your journey

At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
