About
I believe mental health care should feel steady, respectful, and empowering—not rushed, invalidating, or intimidating.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 9 years of experience providing compassionate, evidence-based mental health care to adolescents and adults. I support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and the everyday challenges that can impact emotional well-being. My approach centers on understanding the whole person and creating thoughtful, individualized treatment plans that promote long-term stability and growth.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Colorado State University Pueblo. My professional background includes emergency room nursing, quality management, and nursing education. Growing up in rural Northern New Mexico deeply shaped my appreciation for cultural diversity and the role it plays in resilience, connection, and healing.
I believe effective mental health care goes beyond medication alone and focuses on collaboration, education, and trust. I strive to help you understand your symptoms, treatment options, and goals so you feel empowered in your care. If you are looking for honest support in a welcoming space, I invite you to schedule an appointment so we can begin working together.

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.
