Hello! I'm Sarah, and I'm a board-certified psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner, with additional certification in addiction medicine. I've been working in mental health for the past seven years, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I specialize in treating women's issues such as post-partum and perinatal mental health, menopause, and PMDD. My practice also serves women and girls experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, life changes, and much more.
I believe that every person deserves to feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, my goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can openly discuss your concerns and work toward meaningful change. I understand that seeking mental health care can feel overwhelming, and I strive to make the process approachable, collaborative, and personalized. I'm committed to partnering with you to help you achieve your goals.
I have a very mellow, approachable style, and my main goal is to help my patients reach their goals. Many of the people I work with feel like they haven’t been truly heard before, or that medication was presented as their only option. I take time to listen and make sure you feel comfortable, understood, and involved in your care. I also grew up in an immigrant household, where mental health wasn’t always talked about or seen as an option, and that experience really shaped how I work with my patients today.
I'm a compassionate mental health provider who believes healing is possible for everyone. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, chronic illness and pain, and substance use and addiction. My work is rooted in the belief that you are the expert on your own life — and my role is to walk alongside you with evidence-based tools and unwavering support. I bring warmth and authenticity to every session, creating a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and valued. Whatever you're carrying, I'm here to help.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lufkin
Finding psychiatrists in Lufkin starts with knowing what type of mental health care you want to book. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Therapists provide talk therapy and support, and some people work with both a therapist and a prescriber. If you’re looking for care related to anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or obsessive-compulsive disorder, look for a psychiatrist whose profile lists experience with your concern and explains how they approach medication management.
In a smaller city like Lufkin, local psychiatry appointments may be more limited than in larger Texas markets. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still giving you access to licensed psychiatrists in Texas. Medication management visits are often shorter and less frequent than therapy sessions, so it helps to compare appointment availability, whether the psychiatrist is accepting new patients, and any listed experience with therapy or coordinated care. Reading bios before you book can also show how a psychiatrist communicates, what they specialize in, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Psychiatric care in Lufkin can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway helps you find psychiatrists who match your needs, accept your plan, and are ready to see new patients. You can enter your insurance details, review estimated costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
