I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to helping individuals improve their mental health and overall quality of life. My experience includes working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, stress-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions across various treatment settings.
I believe mental health care should be collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. Every person has a unique story, and I strive to create a supportive environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
Whether you're seeking help for a new concern or looking to improve existing symptoms, my goal is to help you develop a treatment plan that aligns with your personal goals and supports long-term wellness.
In office or on-line appointments specializing in: anxiety, depression, recovery support, trauma, life adjustment, marriage, and parenting issues that incorporate your Christian faith.
I believe that healing is not a one size fits all process. Every person arrives with a unique story, a distinct set of strengths, and their own way of making meaning in the world. I honor that individuality as I provide a therapeutic space where clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow at a pace that feels authentic to them. I believe in helping people and not fixing them because people aren't broken.
