I am certified in Gottman: Levels 1, 2, & 3; Treating Affairs and Trauma, Addiction, Bringing Baby Home, and The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work; I'm working toward becoming one of three Certified Gottman Therapists in NM. 

I am also certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C), as well as Financial Social Work (CFSW).

I have been fascinated by mental health for as long as I can remember. During and after college, I studied speech therapy, psychology, hypnotherapy, and talk therapy. After a mind-blowing birth experience with my third child, our childbirth education company Blissborn was born — we now have teachers all over the world and have supported thousands of families. In 2012, I took a job at a local birth center called Dar a Luz, where I worked for over 12 years. It’s a great privilege to support people through their struggles and achievements, and I love it more each day.

My own struggles with mental health: I suffered with panic disorder for many years, and then I found my way out of it through self-esteem work, education, and building better habits of thought. I haven’t had a panic attack in over 25 years. This led me to become a passionate advocate for finding a way out of worry, stress, anxiety, and panic.

I still work with pregnancy, childbirth, the postpartum period, and fertility. In addition, I love working with individuals, couples, adults, and older teens. I focus on individual therapy, couples therapy, and sex therapy.
