Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Amarillo, TX

Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, substance use, or painful experiences begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and everyday life. You may feel like you're constantly trying to stay one step ahead of stress while quietly wondering when things will finally get easier. You don't have to carry those challenges alone. I work alongside individuals and couples navigating substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and PTSD so they can rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your relationship, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to move forward with hope.

Great to meet you

If you’re struggling with anxiety, overthinking, trauma, or relationship stress, you’re not alone. Many people face these challenges, and support is available to help you feel understood and less isolated.

I work with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. Many of my clients deal with high anxiety, racing thoughts, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. Still, therapy can help you find hope and a way forward, even if it looks like you have everything together on the outside.

If you’re constantly overanalyzing, feeling on edge, or carrying the weight of past experiences, therapy can help you slow things down and regain control, empowering you to manage your thoughts and feelings more effectively.

I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.
