Healing begins the moment you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you as an active partner in your mental health journey.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in comprehensive, lifespan mental health care. My clinical approach blends rigorous scientific precision with a deeply empathetic, collaborative philosophy, ensuring you feel empowered rather than just a diagnosis.

Experienced across the entire lifespan, I treat children, adolescents, adults, and seniors (ages 4+). I provide evidence-based, specialized care for:

• ADHD Across the Lifespan: Supporting executive functioning and emotional regulation from childhood through adulthood.
• Anxiety & Depressive Disorders: Managing generalized anxiety, panic, and major depression.
• Mood & Psychotic Disorders: Utilizing modern clinical strategies for Bipolar disorder and complex mood shifts.
• Complex Presentations: Providing sensitive care for eating disorders, trauma histories, and personality-related behavior patterns.

Outside of psychiatry, I am an avid traveler and a passionate gardener. Tending to my roses daily is my favorite way to practice mindfulness and decompress, ensuring I return to my patients with a refreshed mind and renewed energy.

Life can be messy, overwhelming, and at times downright exhausting. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, disordered eating, grief, relationship challenges, or navigating a major life transition, it can feel like you've lost your footing or aren't quite sure who you are anymore. I work with adolescents and adults who are looking for a space to show up as they are—without judgment, pressure, or the expectation that they need to have it all figured out.

I have meaningful experience supporting individuals navigating eating disorder recovery, helping clients build practical coping skills to manage urges while also exploring the deeper stories, beliefs, and emotions that shape their relationship with themselves. I also work with individuals processing grief and loss, recognizing that healing isn't about "moving on," but learning how to carry what matters while continuing to move forward.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Texas, I am passionate about supporting women through life’s challenges, particularly those navigating substance use and co-occurring mental health disorders. My experience spans working with individuals in intensive outpatient settings, as well as providing individual therapy for clients who have completed such programs or have learned about my work through community referrals. I understand how important it is to tailor care to each person’s unique goals and circumstances, and I am committed to creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental space for healing and growth.

I work with primarily adults and teens navigating anxiety, depression and lasting impact of trauma. I have particular focus on supporting individuals who have experienced narcissistic abuse, coercive control and high conflict relationships, including the stress that can come with separations or divorce

When your mind never seems to slow down, it's easy to feel emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and disconnected from the life you want to be living. Anxiety, depression, constant stress, or painful experiences can make it difficult to be fully present with yourself and the people you care about. You don't have to keep carrying that weight alone. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, ADHD, depression, stress management, and trauma so they can quiet the constant mental noise, build healthier ways of coping, and feel more confident in their everyday lives. I work with adults, adolescents, and children because I believe healing begins when you feel genuinely understood, supported, and empowered to take meaningful steps toward lasting change.

Everyone has a story, and I believe healing begins when someone finally has the space to tell it without fear of judgment.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, and life's unexpected challenges. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply exhausted from carrying too much for too long, therapy can become a place where things begin to make sense again.

I spent more than 25 years walking alongside people through some of life's most difficult moments. Today, I combine that life experience with evidence-based therapy to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and move toward lasting change.

My goal isn't simply to help you feel better—it's to help you heal in ways that create meaningful and lasting transformation.
