Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Midlothian, TX

I bring over 10 years of experience in the mental health field, working with diverse populations across a variety of care settings—from inpatient hospitals to outpatient clinics and private practice. These experiences have deepened my respect for each person’s unique story and strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are.

I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from Dallas Baptist University and my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Texas Woman’s University. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Texas, EMDR Certified, a Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapist (KAP), and a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT-200). I also have specialized training in trauma-informed care, Internal Family Systems (IFS) parts work, and eating disorder treatment.

My work blends evidence-based trauma therapies with mind-body and intuitive approaches, honoring that healing happens in the brain, body, nervous system, and energetic field.

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.
