I am open to listening to patient in order to using an evidence-based approach to treatment option

My focus has been on helping people cope with trauma, physical, sexual or emotional. I graduated from Texas Tech in 2015 with my master's in Community Mental Health Counseling.

What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

I love helping people develop skills to improve their lives, communication and relationships. It is important to know that one theory does not meet everyone’s needs, therefore I use many different approaches to helping my clients to build their own best version of themselves.

With a master's degree in clinical psychology and 15 years of clinical experience with children, adolescents and adult populations, I’m passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and practical tools. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change at your own pace. I have experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, life transitions, stress, grief and relationship concerns.

I am committed to providing compassionate, evidence-based psychiatric care. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and Board-Certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I approach every patient with respect, empathy, and a focus on safety. My clinical decisions are grounded in current research, best practices, and your individual needs.

I believe in a collaborative and transparent treatment process. I value open communication. I want you to feel comfortable discussing your symptoms, concerns, and goals so we can work together to create a plan that truly supports your mental health.

Stressed? Anxious? Depressed? Or living with someone who is? Let’s talk.
