I am a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner.

Outside of my clinical work, I am an animal lover with three dogs and four cats who bring a lot of joy and big personalities to me and my family's home.

I enjoy beach vibes, watching the waves, listening to the sound of the ocean, and the calm it brings.

I am a passionate follower of college sports, and a lifelong fan of the Texas Longhorns — "Hook ’em Horns."

Therapist

Hello! I have over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals through both challenging and transformative moments. I believe people heal best when they feel genuinely seen, understood, and supported, and I strive to create a therapeutic space where clients can safely explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth without judgment.

I help individuals build resilience, expand their capacity to tolerate distress, and strengthen emotional regulation skills that support long-term well-being. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals. I believe meaningful change happens over time, and I work to support clients in growing at a pace that feels both safe and empowering.
