Hello! I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner based in Texas with extensive experience spanning 16 years in psychiatry. My specialization lies in providing comprehensive support to adults and older adults navigating complex mental health issues. I adopt a holistic approach that integrates the mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual facets of health. In our collaborative efforts, I foster an empathetic and supportive environment aimed at empowering you to achieve growth and wellness beyond your diagnosis.
During the initial session, lasting approximately one hour, clients can expect a comprehensive biopsychosocial assessment of their mental health. I emphasize active listening and respect to gain a thorough understanding of their symptoms, concerns, and goals. We'll discuss their medical history, current challenges, and past treatments in detail. Together, we'll craft a personalized treatment plan that addresses their individual needs and preferences, empowering them on a holistic journey towards improved mental health.
My greatest strengths include compassion, respect, and non-judgmental care. I excel in collaborating with clients to customize treatment plans that meet their mental health needs, fostering a healing environment that promotes growth. I am committed to ongoing education and staying current with psychiatric research to provide the most effective care available.
I specialize in treating clients grappling with depression, anxiety disorders, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, OCD, and sleep issues. Through a patient-centered approach, I integrate evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and medication management to create personalized treatment plans that support each client's unique needs and enhance their overall well-being.

She took the time to listen to me and gave me solutions on how to cope with what I go through and validated my feelings. She gave me tons of feedback and made me feel heard and seen.

Anita was incredible! I’ve never felt so comfortable with a mental health provider. She also gives you details on WHY you may feel/do things a certain way based off psychological studies and evidence. She knew exactly when to be light hearted and when to be serious/empathetic.

Anita has helped tremendously with my journey. We have worked together to discuss things that work and things that don’t. We’ve extensively discussed alternative approaches when necessary. We’ve covered beyond mental health to ensure all concerns were being looked at even if it meant beyond therapy and my life has greatly improved in the last 5 months due to this encouraging and empowering approach.
