(she/her)
Are you or a loved one struggling with mood changes, anxiety, or other mental health concerns? You don’t have to navigate this alone—I’m here to help. I provide compassionate, personalized psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults ages 6 and up, with a focus on helping clients achieve stability and thrive in their daily lives. I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) serving clients in Texas and Washington State, with over 20 years of nursing experience and 5 years as a PMHNP. If you’re ready to take the next step toward better mental wellness, I invite you to book an appointment today and begin your journey toward feeling better and living fully.
During your first visit we complete a psychiatric evaluation which includes gathering biological, medical, psychological, social histories and completing assessment on how you have been feeling. Your treatment will be individualized based on the goals that you have set. My goal is to partner with you by engaging in a honest and open communication.
I am always seeking to grow my knowledge and skills by attending conference, and reading so I can be of service to my clients. I have strong listening skills and I take time to ensure that my clients feel heard, understood, and actively involved in their care. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and preferences.
I provide evening and weekend appointment to meet the needs of working professionals and students. I love working with kids having challenges at school with their school work or behaviors. I provide evaluation to determine what they are struggling with and give them tools to succeed. I believe in a holistic approach and will educated you about your condition, provide treatment options, and lifestyle changes to achieve your recovery goals. I have worked with clients of all ages with depression, anxiety, bipolar disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), obsessive and compulsive disorder (OCD), ADHD, psychosis, alcohol and other substance use disorders, eating disorders, insomnia among many mental health disorders.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I found CBT also know as "talk therapy" to be very empowering to clients as it helps them change their thought patterns, our conscious and unconscious beliefs, our attitudes, and, ultimately, our behavior, in order to help us face life stressor and achieve our personal goals.
Faith based therapy
I incorporate secular principles of psychology along with religious values to help my client through crises.
