Therapist

Virtual • New Mexico


I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in New Mexico with 36 years of experience. I specialize in addiction and dual diagnosis — including porn addiction, gambling, and the complex emotional layers that come with each. My practice is fully virtual, so I work with you from the comfort of wherever you feel most at ease. I've also lived through my own profound experience with disability and recovery, and that journey has given me a deeper, more personal understanding of what it means to face suffering, adapt, and keep going.
