Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with specialized training in trauma, PTSD, and complex-PTSD. I use a variety of modalities to match each client's unique needs and preferences, including but not limited to EMDR, parts work, attachment, mindfulness, somatic work, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy.
