Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Albuquerque, NM covered by Aetna

I am a seasoned professional who specializes in working with highly sensitive people. My varied training including Gestalt therapy, EMDR, Life Coaching and Hypnotherapy, Emotional Freedom Technique and Spiritual Response Therapy enables me to help you go deep, get to the root of an issue, and create satisfying resolutions.

I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling from Southwestern College in Santa Fe, New Mexico where a transpersonal approach was fostered, that is, taking into account the psychological as well as the spiritual aspects of our clients. I also studied at the Coaches Training Institute, EMDRIA for EMDR training, The Gestalt Institute of Santa Fe, the Hypnotherapy Academy of America in Albuquerque NM, and the Spiritual Response Association. I am also a life-long meditator and spiritual practitioner. In addition to working as a therapist for the last 21 years, I have been a marketing director, a psychic and a life coach.

Many of my clients are healers, therapists, teachers, artists, psychics and spiritual practitioners. They are seeking someone who can understand their rich inner world as well as the challenges of their outer world. They are seeking a therapist who can track intuitively and work with them respectfully to release unwanted limiting beliefs and traumas so that they can truly shine and achieve their goals.

I am currently writing a book called, "The Misfit Mystic" which addresses the issue of struggling to fit into society with psychic and spiritual sensibilities.

Many people come to me feeling overwhelmed, anxious, burnt out, or simply “not like themselves.” Whether the root is mental health, hormones, or a mix of both, my goal is to help you understand what’s happening in your body and mind — and create a plan that actually helps you feel better.

I am a Family Nurse Practitioner with over 13 years of experience treating complex chronic conditions, acute medical issues, and a wide range of mental health concerns. My background in the emergency room strengthened my ability to stay calm, think clearly, and support patients through some of their most difficult moments.

I am double board‐certified as an FNP‐BC and PMHNP‐BC, which allows me to integrate medical and psychiatric expertise. This means I look at the full picture — hormones, sleep, stress, mood, lifestyle, and physical health — to understand what’s driving your symptoms.

My approach is compassionate, practical, and evidence‐based. I take time to listen, explain things clearly, and work with you to create a treatment plan that fits your life. You deserve care that feels supportive, personalized, and focused on long‐term wellness.

If you’re ready to feel more balanced, focused, and in control again, I’m here to help you get there.

I’m Mary, a nurse practitioner with nearly 40 years of experience in healthcare, and caring for people across the lifespan has been at the heart of my work from the beginning. My journey has included women’s health and midwifery, emergency care, and ultimately psychiatric mental health, shaped by a deep belief that no one should have to struggle alone. Personal loss and witnessing gaps in mental health care strengthened my commitment to helping people before pain becomes overwhelming. Outside of work, I enjoy starting my mornings with quiet reflection, going on long-distance cycling adventures, and relaxing with some friendly Xbox competition alongside my husband and friends.

I'm a compassionate mental health provider who believes healing is possible for everyone. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and substance use and addiction. My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life — and my role is to walk alongside you with evidence-based tools and unwavering support. I bring warmth and authenticity to every session, creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Whatever you're carrying, I'm here to help.
