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.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Garland
Finding addiction therapists in Garland starts with understanding the kind of support that fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for alcohol use, substance use, prescription drug concerns, gambling, compulsive behaviors, and related stress, anxiety, or relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. Some therapists may mention motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, harm reduction, relapse prevention, or coordination with a prescriber when medication support is part of your care team.
Garland offers a range of therapy options, with local offices and virtual appointments that can make care easier to fit into your schedule. Virtual care can also expand your options if you want a therapist with specific addiction experience or a non-judgmental, harm reduction-informed approach. When comparing therapists, look at appointment availability, whether they are accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can help you see how they describe their approach to addiction care, what concerns they focus on, and how sessions are typically structured.
Therapy in Garland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for addiction therapists in Garland who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs after you enter your insurance details, and book directly when you find a fit. You can browse therapists, review bios, and choose between in-person or virtual care when you’re ready.
