I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner that is interested in providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health care services through psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. I come from a strong nursing background, with over 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing changes to their mental and physical health in both outpatient and inpatient settings. My educational background includes a Master of Science from the University of Texas Health Science Center of Houston, Cizik School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Science in nursing from Texas Tech University Health Science Center.
Adults across the lifespan come to my practice navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, work stress, relationship challenges, and questions of identity or cultural belonging. Many are high-functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain internally. I also specialize in working with immigrants and individuals exploring multicultural identity. Together, we create a space to slow down, make sense of emotional experiences, understand patterns that may be keeping them stuck, and build resilience and clarity for what comes next.
I specialize in anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, and cultural identity exploration. My work integrates CBT, mindfulness, person-centered therapy, and family systems theory, grounded in cultural humility. I help clients build insight, coping skills, and meaningful, lasting change.
You don’t have to carry everything alone. Therapy is a space where you can feel seen, understood, and supported without judgment. Together, we can explore what feels heavy, uncover deeper patterns, and move toward greater clarity and ease. If you’re ready for change, I invite you to take that next step toward yourself.
Whether you're coping with the loss of a loved one, managing the emotional impact of a chronic illness, healing from past experiences, or feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, I strive to provide thoughtful, evidence-based care tailored to your unique needs. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas, I believe therapy is most effective when you feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted. I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can explore life's challenges at your own pace. I specialize in working with adults experiencing grief and bereavement, anxiety, trauma, relationship concerns, chronic health conditions, and major life transitions.
In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my husband and two boys, working out, and reading psychological thrillers!

I am a Army veteran and love helping people. I started this journey with my own mental health. I soon realized the power of this process. I did not realize I was always a counselor. It started as a Army Medic helping soldiers in Iraq and now I help everyone.

Hi, I’m Corey. Life can get complicated, and sometimes the patterns that once helped us cope begin creating new challenges. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling in your relationships, carrying the weight of past experiences, or finding yourself stuck in habits you can’t seem to break, therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s happening, and start making changes that feel possible.
I am an experienced therapist and I connect quickly with my clients.
