Before becoming a social worker, I was a nurse for over 20 years and spent almost 10 years as a licensed massage therapist. Around my 40th birthday I finally realized what I wanted to be when I grew up: a therapist.
I graduated with a master’s degree in Psychology in 2014 but then decided to take it a step further and went back to graduate school for social work. I graduated in 2017 with a Master’s in Social Work from Western New Mexico University with honors.
During my time in school I spent a year of internship with the Domestic Violence Resource Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico working with both adults and teens who have either been a victim or witness of domestic violence. Also, during graduate school, I volunteered with the Rape Crisis Center of Central New Mexico for 5 years as well as volunteering on a suicide hotline. I worked with the Albuquerque Police Department in the Crimes Against Children Unit and the Crisis Intervention Team. When I left the police department, I worked with children who were survivors of physical and sexual trauma.
Most of my work has been with teens up to adults who have had significant trauma in their lives. I have been trained in RTM (Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories) which has significant positive outcomes for those who suffer from PTSD.
As a veteran, a military wife, and mother, I understand the ups and downs that life can throw at you. Life is complicated enough but when you add stress, uncertainty, or trauma to your life, sometimes you need a little help to get you back to where you were the calmest, happiest, and in control. Let me help you get there.
In the summer of 2024 I fulfilled a decade long desire to become a certified hypnotherapist. I was fortunate enough to graduate from the Hypnotherapy Academy of America as a Certified Clinical Hynotherapist (CCHt) and am a fellow of the Inernational Board of Hypnotherapy (FIBH). I have found that I can clear trauma for my clients more efficiently with hypnosis. I work with clients to meet their therapy needs.
If you are struggling or have a teenager who is struggling with day to day life, has been a victim of sexual assault or who has attempted or had thoughts of suicide please call me for a free discovery call/chat to see if I am a good fit for you.
I am passionate about helping those people who want the help!
