Hello! I am a licensed and certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner in the State of Texas. I have been practicing for 10 years, and I love what I do. I not only prescribe medications, but I also help my clients work on cognitive and behavioral changes to help reach their goals. I work very hard to provide an empathetic and compassionate space where you can speak openly, without a fear of judgment.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will share brief introductions and then I will have you answer numerous questions about your symptoms, and history that will be used to help form a diagnosis and plan of care. I use a comprehensive treatment approach that combines medication management but also therapy techniques that are unique to your needs, history and goals.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked the past 10+ years as a mental health provider, and prior to that working 10 + years as a nurse in the emergency department, I have a unique perspective and outlook on patient care. I have gained significant knowledge regarding the mind body approach to care with my experience, and I understand that your mental, physical, and emotional wellbeing are all interconnected and must all be addressed to be successful in achieving overall wellbeing and improved quality of life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with clients who are ready to take the next step in healing and growth. Whether dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma or other mental health concerns, I will work to help empower you to develop healthier coping skills, improved self-esteem, and a more optimistic outlook. I want to help you reach your goals to live a happy and healthy life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been using therapeutic approaches, as well as medication management for over 10 years in my practice. I have learned that medications are an important tool in treatment, but evidence has shown that to truly be successful in treating mental health disorders we must understand the thoughts, feelings and behaviors associated with them. Learning to use Cognitive Behavioral therapy techniques, you can learn to be more aware of your thoughts, your feelings and your behaviors, and learn the skills to restructuring them for improved overall outcomes.
Motivational Interviewing
We are human and we have all struggled at times with motivation and feeling like we are incapable of doing what needs to be done to succeed in life. This has a negative impact on both mood and anxiety. The good news is that together we will work to help reach your potential and to overcome any self-doubt about your ability to be successful with reaching the goals you have set for yourself.
