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.

True North vs Magnetic North

Magnetic North:

The places in life that we are drawn to naturally based on our upbringing, experiences, personality, strengths, weaknesses, our victories and our defeats. This is what I refer to as "Magnetic North."

True North:

The places where we would like to be in life, but obstacles are in the way of us arriving at our destiny. Our potential for a better life is what I refer to as "True North.'
