Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Hutto, TX covered by United Healthcare

Hi! I'm a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health NP from Johns Hopkins University (2020) & Family NP from UT Austin (2017), a veteran flight nurse, as well as a certified Yoga instructor & Reiki practitioner. I practice Integrative Psychiatry—merging best practices from Eastern & Western Healthcare for a truly holistic approach. I help adults grappling with mental health challenges to reclaim their life, fostering overall health & mental well-being.

I help women with:

• Nervous system regulation & Body Wisdom
• Exploring spirituality, witchcraft, paganism, mythology
• Shadow Work
• Spiritual Awakening

You can be strong, capable, and still need support. Pushing through and pretending you have it all together? Worn out, anxious, healing from something heavy, or just trying to figure things out. Therapy isn’t about having it all together. It’s about getting support while you find your way.

Through real, down-to-earth chats, we’ll work on some solid tools and skills to help you live the kind of life you’re proud of. I specialize in struggling relationships, relationship abuse, high conflict divorce/CoParenting, first responders, navigating trauma, big life changes, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, personality disorders, parenting coordination, child custody/adoption evaluations, and more. My goal? To help you shift what’s not working for you in a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Fun Fact: When I'm not in the therapy office, I'll be out soaking up self-care like hiking, paddle-boarding with my Yorkie, exploring new places, creating flower arrangements, and keeping my houseplants (mostly) alive.

I have my graduate degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University and am an LPC-S in Texas. I have been in the mental health field for the last 8 years working with a wide variety of clientele from adolescents to adults. I specialize in anxiety and trauma treatment utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and EMDR. These modalities along with psychoeducation are utilized to help you process, understand, and rewire maladaptive behaviors within the brain.

As a special needs dad, a former Spanish teacher, former school counselor (MEdSC), and nurse (MSN), I bring a broad range of experiences to my clients. As a nurse, I have worked PACU, ER, and geriatrics. My goal is to work with the client to reach their goals through the use of counseling, supplements, and medication as needed. I enjoy using belief systems as part of my counseling if desired.

Like many providers, I have worked with many clients with depression, mania, and anxiety. As a previous teacher/school counselor, I understand the impact of ADHD on the student, the classroom, the teacher, and the family.

I think it is important for prospective clients to know that I want to help both now and in the future. For this reason, there are drugs that I don't prescribe (stimulants and benzos) because of the long-lasting side effects.

My hobbies include playing the piano, singing, gardening and family.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with a BA in Psychology and an MA in Professional Counseling, with 13+ years in residential care, crisis work, and private practice. I work especially well with men who want a direct, goal-oriented approach. Focus areas: stress/burnout, anxiety, anger, ADHD patterns, relationship conflict, life transitions, and leadership challenges. Expect straight talk, practical tools, and accountability.

Hi and Welcome! I'm grateful you're taking the time to explore what connecting with me may be like. I was twenty-something when life taught me strong relationships are the key to health and well-being. Neuroscience has proven this true and we now know that we are inherently wired for connection on a neurobiological level. Connection isn’t a luxury, it’s essential to our survival. Ironically, it’s connection that can also be the source of our most profound pain and suffering. No matter how deep the hurt or how great the loss, things can shift when we feel seen, heard, and understood by another. We heal in connection with others.
