Seeking help isn't always easy, and I believe finding the right provider should feel like a good fit, not just another appointment. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), my goal is to create a space where you can speak openly, feel genuinely heard, and know that we're working together as a team.

I enjoy caring for individuals across the lifespan, including children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. I treat anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, OCD, insomnia, and other mental health challenges. I also help people navigate grief, life transitions, caregiver stress, and the emotional impact that chronic medical conditions can have on everyday life.

I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. Every person has a different story, and treatment should reflect that. Whether we're discussing medication, coping strategies, or lifestyle changes, I want you to feel informed, comfortable asking questions, and involved in every decision we make.

My hope is that you leave each appointment feeling understood, supported, and with a clear plan for moving forward.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Albuquerque

Searching for therapists in Albuquerque starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People look for therapy in Albuquerque for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, and life transitions. As you compare Albuquerque therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy approaches, and experience that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing.

Albuquerque has a broad local therapy market for a mid-size city, with options across areas like Nob Hill, the North Valley, Downtown, and the Northeast Heights. Your best fit may depend on location, appointment times, and whether you prefer in-person or virtual sessions. Virtual therapy can also make it easier to see a therapist licensed in New Mexico if office locations or schedules are limited. Before booking, review each therapist’s bio for details about communication style, session structure, availability, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.

Therapy in Albuquerque can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists in Albuquerque, NM who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, verify your insurance, and see an estimated session cost before you book. You can browse therapists, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
