Hi Everyone! I’m Tiffany. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

In my practice, I support people who want to find more acceptance, wholeness, and aliveness in every area of their life. I often work with people who feel overwhelmed with self-criticism, doubt, sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, grief, and fear.

Hello!

I’m a Licensed Psychotherapist who is passionate about helping women and families create lasting change in their lives.

A former homeschool teacher and family consultant, today I specialize in alleviating childhood wounds, present day anxiety, relationship patterns, parenting challenges, and nervous system regulation. My approach blends evidence-based therapies with empowerment, warmth, curiosity, and genuine connection.

I believe that when we better understand our experiences and patterns, we can begin creating the life and relationships we truly want. For ourselves and our children.

My approach to mental health care is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence-based. I believe in treating the whole person — not just symptoms. Every patient receives individualized care tailored to their personal goals, medical history, and life circumstances.

I specialize in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, severe depression, anger management concerns, behavioral difficulties, eating disorders, parenting challenges, mood disturbances, and other emotional or life stressors.

My primary background revolves around behavioral issues, anger management, LGBTQ+, and parenting.

The goal of therapy is not to create dependence, but to foster growth. I strive to help clients overcome challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and develop the self-awareness and self-acceptance needed to thrive independently.

I work with adults and adolescents who are carrying burdens they're ready to put down, whether that's trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral struggles, or the weight of a life that feels out of balance. In our work together, I help them build real, practical skills for lasting change using evidence-based approaches tailored to their unique story. Healing isn't linear, but with the right support, it is absolutely possible.

Sometimes life can feel like more than you know how to carry. You may be dealing with anxiety that keeps your mind racing, depression that makes it difficult to feel like yourself, substance use that has become harder to manage, grief that doesn't seem to have an ending, or relationship and family challenges that leave you feeling emotionally drained. You may also be navigating a major life change, adjusting to a loss, or simply trying to understand why you’re feeling differently than you used to. As a bilingual and bicultural English- and Spanish-speaking therapist, I work with adults, older adults, couples, and families and bring more than 26 years of experience helping people navigate complex and difficult seasons of life.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree. I work with adults and older adults experiencing Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Spectrum Disorders, Panic Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.

My clinical background also includes complex medical care, including Solid Organ Transplant Infectious Diseases and Cardiology, which has shaped the way I understand the connection between physical health and mental health. I believe patients deserve care that looks at the whole person, not just a diagnosis.

I provide care in English and Spanish

Life can feel overwhelming when stress, relationship challenges, difficult experiences, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to feel connected to yourself and the people around you. You may find yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling to communicate effectively, or carrying emotional burdens that continue to impact your daily life. Whether you are navigating challenges as an individual, within a relationship, or as part of a family system, therapy can provide a space to better understand what is happening and begin creating meaningful change.

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."
