I received my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Southwestern College in New Mexico.  This school is based upon therapy models that believe in positive transformation and the vast potential of human beings.  Within the program I received a certificate in Eco-psychology, which emphasized connection to nature as a tool for healing.

I specialize in working with trauma and am a registered practitioner of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).

Prior to graduate school, I spent several years studying and teaching yoga. I often utilize the mindfulness aspect of this during counseling sessions.
