I am a licensed clinical social worker in California and New Mexico. I am based in Albuquerque, NM.
I love to work with my clients on the following concerns:
-
compassion fatigue (including vicarious trauma and burnout)
-
substance use or other "addictive" behaviors
-
bipolar, depressive, and anxiety disorders
-
trauma and PTSD
-
reintegration after incarceration
-
oppression
-
chronic illness and pain
-
body image and body positivity/neutrality
-
existential challenges
My therapeutic style incorporates trauma informed care, harm reduction, mindfulness, Buddhist psychology, and social justice. Read more about how I can support you with substance use or compassion fatigue.
Some people find it beneficial to process their own traumatic experiences or difficult past events; if you choose to do so in our therapy, it will be at your own pace and comfort level. Most of all, I will acknowledge you as a unique person; therapy is going to look different for everyone, and our work will be tailored to your needs and goals. On a personal and clinical level, I understand how hard each day can be for people dealing with trauma, depression, addictions, anxiety, and more. But I also believe those hard days can get better, and life can have a new sense of meaning and purpose. Contact me to schedule an appointment or ask any questions you may have.
