Great to meet you!

In-person psychiatric care in Houston/Cypress, Texas, with telehealth appointments available throughout Texas, Kansas, and Washington. I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care for adolescents and adults.

I specialize in the evaluation and treatment of ADHD, anxiety, depression, women’s mental health concerns, trauma/PTSD, and mood disorders. My approach is holistic, collaborative, and personalized—combining medication management with psychoeducation, lifestyle interventions, and integrative strategies when appropriate.

My approach to therapy

I take a comprehensive approach that looks beyond symptoms to understand the whole person. I incorporate functional medicine principles, genetic testing, and holistic strategies to ensure we are medically and chemically targeting psychiatric symptoms in the most effective way possible.

What you can expect from me

I’ll conduct a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation focused on understanding your history, symptoms, and goals. This includes reviewing medical, psychiatric, and family history, current concerns, and any past treatments.
