About the Practice

Integrative Elements New Mexico was established in 2019 as a contracting and consulting company, expanding into psychotherapy private practice in 2021.

This is a holistic, integrative practice geared toward helping you achieve the balance in your life that is right for you, in a way that is engaging and meaningful.

What makes this practice different are the options you have for therapy. Telehealth (video sessions), EMDR (Eye Movement Reprocessing and Desensitization), walk-and-talk, and nature-based therapy practices are some examples. You may also feel drawn to dreamwork and creative expression to assist in your process. If talk therapy is your style, that is also offered.

Whatever approach calls to you, you can feel secure in the highly skilled, trauma-informed, empathetic way your therapist handles your case and assists you on your healing journey.

In addition to mental health therapy, trainings and workshops are also offered. The topics of Refugee Mental Health, Curanderismo, and Mental Health First Aid Certification are recurring events.

Continuing education credits (CEUs) may be available for these trainings.

Other trainings and workshops can be crafted to your specific needs.

Philosophy

Here at Integrative Elements New Mexico, the philosophy is simple: to de-stigmatize mental health and make easy access to quality, affirming care for the traditionally underserved.

Cultural sensitivity and a trauma-informed approach is what leads me in the work of cultivating resiliency of the human spirit.

I believe in the healing power of nature to help with what ails, and I also believe que la cultura cura, culture cures.

I strive to promote anti-racism and social justice, including rights for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Transsexual, Queer, Questioning, Intersex, Asexual, Pansexual, and Two Spirit (LGBTTQQIAP2S) people.

I also work toward decolonizing the healing systems we rely on and dismantle systems of oppression.
