I came to psychology later in life, and I know how challenging life can be. I have known great joy and great sorrow in my life, and I can relate to the struggles of others. I love working with individuals who seek answers to move them forward in life. As a wife, mother, and grandmother, I know that individuals need to be heard and not lectured about what to do.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

I went back to school at age 40 to get my Master's in Social Work, which I received in 2019. I had been working in the behavioral health field for 6 years up to that point as a health navigator for a behavioral health outpatient clinic. During therapy, I help clients to process things from the past that are keeping them stuck related to their relationships with themselves and others. I utilize EMDR, CBT, ERP, and an attachment based approach and enjoy working with clients who have experienced any sort of trauma, would like to improve their relationships and communication skills, experience obsessions and compulsions, and more. My practice is called Warm Glow Therapy, which was named after a client's idea of a supportive resource. Despite the name, I am a down to earth person and therapist. I would love to help you create a plan for a better future! I am licensed to provide therapy for clients in New Mexico and Arizona. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions you would like me to answer. New clients can schedule an initial intake or a brief consultation to discuss whether we would be a good fit.

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.
