I'm Kyle, I offer after hours appointments. Available on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sunday mornings. And available Monday through Wednesday from 6:30pm to 9:00PM.

I prescribe psychiatric medications and do psychiatric evaluations. I've worked community mental health for 4 years, seeing a wide variety of patients.

Before I became a nurse practitioner, I spent 5 years working as an RN in inpatient psychiatry. 4 years of that psych experience, I worked at John Peter Smith hospital. That experience taught me how valuable it is to listen and work together with others.

I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003. I had the privilege of starting in the field of sexual abuse/violence, which began my real-life education. I've continued my study of trauma, and in family dynamics. This continues to shape my growth. I have years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals with those struggling with severe mental illness. The one thing that I've learned and want to share is this: people can (and do!) get better.

I have 22 years of experience working with children, adolescence, and adults. I am passionate about the work that I do as a therapist and consider it an honor to walk through life's journey with my clients.

Our current and past life circumstances can often leave us with feelings of stress, anxiety, and sadness. These emotions can be confusing and difficult to manage and process. My goal is to come alongside clients to reach personal goals, using warmth, understanding, and acceptance. I will work with you, with you in the driver’s seat, to set goals, explore and gain understanding of yourself, process your emotions in a safe space, reframe negative beliefs about yourself, and find solutions that work for you. I enjoy working with clients with a variety of concerns including general anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship issues.

Clients should know that I am a therapist who both supports and gently challenges them, because I believe growth happens when we are willing to look at our thoughts, patterns, and behaviors honestly. I strive to create a safe, warm space while also helping clients push past comfort zones in a healthy and empowering way. I bring joyful, positive energy into sessions and hope clients feel encouraged, understood, and capable of change

I strive to provide an open and encouraging place for my clients to explore the challenges in their daily lives. I look forward to serving those who are searching for ways to empower themselves. Counseling is journey of self discovery. Through it you can learn the skills to face life’s challenges and I’m here to help you.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care tailored to each individual’s unique needs. I believe in holistic treatment that addresses both the mind and body, and I’m committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and supported.

You should know:
