My passion is to provide mental health services to those in need, offering care, support, and guidance during life's challenges. ​I grew up in the beautiful state of New Mexico, where the Zia symbol holds a deep personal and cultural significance. 

​

The rays of the Zia represent: the earth and its four cardinal directions; the year and its four seasons; the day, with sunrise, noon, evening, and night; and the four stages of life- childhood, youth, adulthood, and old age. 

​​

I feel it appropriate to incorporate the Zia symbol into my mental health care practice, because it represents both where my personal story began and also serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness we all share with one another - regardless of our walk of life. 

​

Prior to becoming a therapist, I spent twelve fulfilling years as a middle school teacher. I was later inspired to expand my journey of helping others by becoming a clinical mental health counselor.

Welcome to Zia Counseling - where healing and growth come together inspired by the warmth, wisdom, and strength of the Zia.
