I highly recommend Tania. She is friendly and easy to talk to, yet respects me and my decisions, and is always very supportive. She has seen me go through my ups and downs and I always come out of her sessions feeling that I was able to address the issues that has been on my mind. She is sex positive and understands polyamory, and does not judge me for being different. I think of her as an invaluable partner in maintaining my mental health.

Hello!
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with the State of New Mexico (LIC# CMF0200391). If you decide to work with me please know that I take an interpersonal, systemic, and supportive approach. Simply, I believe that people can be healed through compassionate relationships with others. I am here to work with you on any goals you may have for yourself – with empathy and open-mindedness.
I have over 10 years of counseling experience. I have working in a variety of settings (inpatient psychiatric hospitalizations, non-profit, community health, university counseling centers, integrated behavioral health care settings, hospice) and have helped individuals address a variety of life stressors (depression, anxiety, substance abuse, family stressors, parenting, trauma, end of life care, and many more). My passion towards counseling led me to seek out a doctorate degree in Counseling Psychology. My primary areas of research include use of bilingualism in psychotherapy, outcome measures, and sex positivity. Feel free to ask me more about any of my training experiences.
I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish and welcome any opportunity to integrate any of these into our work together.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Fantastic help and support from Tania over the last couple of months.
Tania is personable and inviting. She is a great listener and offers good advice. I appreciate being able to be so open with her, and the way she responds is comforting. I highly recommend Tania!
This is my second session with Tania and I feel really at ease and comfortable talking to her. She listens and expresses her opinion in a very clear way. Also gives really good advise that I have put in to practice. She shows compassion and is very caring towards my needs. I really look forward to my sessions on a Friday.
I came to rely on Tania as an expert source of support during a difficult period of my life. She truly listened to me! If only we had more Tanias in our lives!
Tania is a wonderful listener and really great at asking the sort of questions that open one up to answering in an honest and clear way. I'm feeling so much better for the experience of working with Tania, in working me out. It is a blessing to have someone walk with you and gently guide you as you walk through challenging times.
Tania is very knowledgeable and caring. She often checks in on me and I am grateful for her help!
I've only known Tania for a few weeks now, but her caring and compassion is nothing short of amazing. I cannot properly express the profound difference she has made in my life, and I'm truly thankful to have her as my therapist.
