Therapist

Hi, I'm Emily, I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, perfectionism, self-esteem challenges, life transitions, relationship concerns, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also work with couples who are looking to improve communication, rebuild trust after infidelity or betrayal, strengthen emotional connection, or prepare for marriage.

My goal is to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and accepted without judgment. I believe therapy should feel collaborative and personalized, not one-size-fits-all. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply feeling disconnected from yourself or others, I'm here to help you move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

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.

I'm an LPC based in Texas who works with adults navigating addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kind of stress that doesn't go away after a good night's sleep. I'm not the therapist who nods quietly and lets you talk in circles — I'm engaged, I'm direct, and I'll genuinely challenge you when I think it'll help. I also believe laughter belongs in the therapy room. Healing doesn't have to be a grim process, and some of the most meaningful breakthroughs I've witnessed have happened mid-joke. I offer telehealth sessions throughout Texas and accept Aetna, Cigna, Carelon Behavioral Health, and Ascension.
