I am currently NOT accepting new clients in New Mexico.
As of November 19, 2024: I am in the process changing how billing for my services will be handled. All billing will be handled by Headway when the conversion is completed. In the meantime, some cases I take may be billed by Change22, LLC or by Headway depending on the circumstances. This can be rather confusing, so please contact me for clarification if needed.

As a counselor, I prioritize each case as important. I have a firm belief that counselors must cultivate a profound understanding of their clients and their unique situations while demonstrating a genuine commitment to their well-being, for each and every case. My motivation for being a counselor stems from a desire to help others, and I strive to see each case through to its resolution. To ensure that I can provide my complete personal dedication, I intentionally limit my caseload, allowing me the necessary time and resources for each client. I utilize a solution-focused approach in my treatment plans, which typically allows me to maintain openings for new cases. In the rare instances when a waitlist does occur, it is typically short, reflecting my commitment to providing quality care and fostering meaningful therapeutic relationships. Each client's journey is important to me, and I strive to see them through with compassion and professionalism.

No-Charge Initial Consultation
In the realm of counseling, the individuality of each counselor plays a crucial role in the therapeutic process. Every counselor brings a unique personality and a distinct set of theories and modalities to their practice. I firmly believe that the effectiveness of counseling largely hinges on the compatibility between the counselor and the client; a strong professional personality match alongside an alignment between the counselor's approach and the client's specific needs. To facilitate this process, I offer an initial consultation prior to scheduling an intake session. This allows potential clients to gauge whether my counseling style resonates with them, helping to ensure they feel comfortable and supported before committing their time and financial resources. This consultation is a valuable step toward building a meaningful therapy experience.
There is no charge for the initial consultation and it lasts approximately 15 minutes. There's no need to schedule the initial consultation in advance; you can simply call me directly at (757) 347-0450 to complete it. If you prefer to set a specific time for your initial consultation or wish to conduct it via telehealth video, please feel free to use the link provided below.

Each of these agencies operates under unique billing and payment policies, providing a variety of options tailored to meet the needs of clients.

My goal is to ensure that clients have access to the therapeutic services they require while navigating the financial aspects in a way that feels comfortable and manageable.
