Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 23 mi away • Dallas, TX


Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.

I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.

For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 21 mi away • Arlington, TX


Hi, I’m Debra. Life’s challenges can sometimes leave us feeling disconnected from who we truly are. I believe that each person’s story matters, and I bring a genuine curiosity and compassion to understanding the experiences that have shaped you.

Together, we can explore your personal narrative, identify patterns that may no longer serve you, and build on the strengths you already possess. I work with individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, mood disorders, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can impact well-being. My goal is to provide a supportive, collaborative space where you can gain insight, find healing, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your values.

Are you looking for a medication free treatment for ADHD, anxiety, depression, stuttering, developmental disabilities, or other brain related difficulties? Or, are you a high achieving student, professional or athlete who desires to enhance your performance in academics, athletics, or business? Everyone wants to have more effective, more efficient brain power. We want to perform at our personal peak, without the use of psychotropic medications. As a Licensed Psychologist and Board Certified Neurotherapist, I treat children and adults using brain training, and individual and family counseling techniques.


We teach the brain to regulate itself using EEG neurofeedback, as well as safe and subtle neurostimulation. While the brain is growing stronger and more adaptive, counseling is provided to assist with problem solving strategies and the cultivation of enhanced emotional and behavioral regulation.

Give us a call today so we may begin training your brain to function its peak performance. We have evening & weekend hours available. No student need miss any school.
