About
With more than 20 years of nursing experience, a dual master's degree, and certifications in psychiatric care and family practice, I bring clinical expertise and genuine compassion, helping you feel understood as a whole person, not a diagnosis.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 6 years of experience supporting individuals through challenges related to anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions. I work with adolescents and adults who are seeking clarity, emotional balance, healthier patterns, or a supportive space to process what they are carrying. My goal is to help you feel understood, grounded, and empowered as you move toward healing.
I hold a master’s degree in psychiatry and mental health and a master’s degree in nursing from Rocky Mountain University. I use evidence-based approaches, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based strategies, and motivational interviewing, to help you understand patterns, build coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
You deserve support that honors your story and meets you where you are. My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping you move forward with clarity and confidence. If you are ready to take the next step toward healing and renewed peace, I would be honored to walk with you.

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Albuquerque, NM is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
Includes individual, couples, child/ teen, & family therapy
Includes reducing symptoms with medication & management
