Personal Statement

I am a therapist at A New Hope Therapy Center in Las Cruces, NM. I have worked in an assortment of different settings including school-based clinics, community-based clinics, inpatient & outpatient settings. I have found a passion for working with teens and adults who are willing to take steps to reach their personal growth goals! My approach to counseling is ‘integrative,’ meaning rather than a single-school approach to therapy, I incorporate & combine many different therapeutic tools & approaches in order to meet the unique needs of each individual client.

Some of the common modalities that I use include: Person-Centered therapy, Cognitive-Behavior therapy, Strength Based therapy, Mindfulness and Relaxation training, and Narrative therapy. Every individual is the sum of their own experiences, beliefs, values, culture & abilities! It is my goal to provide a safe, non-judgmental, & collaborative environment for my clients to lead the discussion where they need to go.

The goal will be to assist clients in finding connections between thoughts, feelings, & behaviors. From here, the hope is to build upon the client’s strengths in order to find coping strategies, process feelings & emotions & encourage self-awareness, insight, & autonomy. I look forward to meeting with you!
