Find a psychiatrist in Texas — covered by insurance

Hello, I am a fierce advocate for my patients. My goal is to improve your functioning, thoughts, and enhance self-acceptance and self-love. I listen and together with my patients create a solution-focused treatment plan aimed at enhancing your strengths and reducing your symptoms. I have over a decade of skilled bedside nursing in critical care, hospice, and ICU. My passion is empowering and uplifting others to reach their full quality of life .

My approach to mental health care centers entirely around you. True healing happens when trust, safety, and collaboration come together. Whether you are navigating severe depression, managing long-term anxiety, or recovering from trauma, my goal is to provide a premium, supportive environment where you feel heard and empowered to reclaim a stable, fulfilling life.

As a board-certified adult psychiatrist, I bring unique depth to my clinical practice. I earned both my MD and PhD from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, grounding my approach to medication management in advanced scientific research and evidence-based medicine.

My leadership and clinical training within the University of Texas Health System—including roles as Chief Resident, Assistant Medical Director, and Assistant Professor—deeply shaped my view of mental health. Having cared for individuals across institutions like MD Anderson, Memorial Hermann, the Dunn Behavioral Sciences Center, and Maui Memorial Medical Center, I possess the outpatient and inpatient expertise required to manage complex clinical cases with complete confidence.

I provide convenient, high-quality telepsychiatry and virtual care for adults (ages 18 and older) actively located in Texas, California, Hawaii, and Alaska.

Primary Clinical Focus Areas:

• Mood Disorders: Advanced care for major depression, treatment-resistant depression, and bipolar disorder.
• Anxiety & Stress: Targeted strategies for generalized anxiety, panic disorder, and high-stress professional burnout.
• Trauma: Compassionate, evidence-based recovery and support for PTSD.

Above all, I believe in partnering with you as a collaborative ally. My practice is a safe, sophisticated space where clinical excellence is a given, and we work together to help you rediscover hope and transformation.

I help people who are tired of fighting with their own minds. Maybe anxiety follows you everywhere—that constant worry that won't let you rest. Maybe you can't focus at work no matter what you try, and you're forgetting things that matter. Maybe you're the person holding everything together for everyone else, but inside you're exhausted and running on empty. You've tried to push through. You've tried to "think positive." But your brain won't cooperate, and you're tired of struggling. Here's what I know: You don't need to fix yourself. You need tools that actually work. You need someone who gets it. You need to stop fighting.

I am a Dual-Certified Family-Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and addiction specialist. With over 26 years of combined healthcare experience and leadership. My goals are to provide a more holistic, patient-centered experience through education, and the integration of primary care, mental health, and addiction services. Ultimately, managing the health of others is my ministry. As your accountability partner, I will walk with you through your adversities and triumphs. Today's your day!
