Hello! My name is Marcie and I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. My passion is helping individuals find their peace, confidence, and clarity. With a deep commitment to mental wellness, I offer compassionate, evidence-based care for children, teens, and adults across the lifespan.

Background & Education

I earned my Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) from Rush University in Chicago, IL and received my Psychiatric specialization from National University in San Diego CA. I have my national board certification through the ANCC and have trained in a variety of clinical settings, including outpatient psychiatry, integrated primary care, and crisis intervention services.

I have a strong multicultural training background, particularly regarding faith and spiritual matters. I strongly believe in the power of faith in healing.

I also work best with clients who want to find solutions to their problems. I want my clients to understand they have the power to make things better in their lives.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor passionate about helping individuals, families, and teens navigate life’s challenges. I provide personalized, evidence-based therapy in both English and Spanish, ensuring culturally sensitive care. My approach creates a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and empowered. I help clients build coping skills, manage stress, and achieve personal growth. Together, we work toward overcoming obstacles and creating meaningful change.

It is my belief that as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding a sense of peace and contentment in their lives. Some of my clients need only a few sessions to achieve these goals, others may require months or even years to put their puzzle pieces together. As a client, you are in complete control, and you may end your relationship with me at any point. I am actively licensed in the State of Texas as a LMFT; LPC; and LCDC.

For therapy to be most successful, it is important for you to take an active role. This means working on the things you and I talk about, both during and between sessions. Generally, the more you are willing to invest the greater the return. It is my intention to empower you in your growth process to the degree that you can face life’s challenges in the future without me. I do not believe in creating dependency or prolonging therapy if the therapeutic intervention does not seem to be helping.

As a clinician, I have experience providing person-centered recovery plans; rehabilitation skills training; case management; and crisis intervention services, to individuals living with severe and persistent mental health concerns. I am qualified to offer a wide array of counseling services in the areas of Individual Family; Couples; and Chemical Dependency. Counseling services to address a wide range of mental health and relationship issues that impact a person’s emotional health and wellbeing.
