Licensed Private Counselor, MS, MEd., LPC, EMDR Trained

I am a Licensed Private Counselor serving clients in Texas. I believe all experiences in our lives whether good or bad can help a person grow by equipping themselves with knowledge and skills to better understand who they are as a person. All information about a person is important and can be used as a steppingstone toward wholeness and healing. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and people with special needs.

Healing begins the moment you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you as an active partner in your mental health journey.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) specializing in comprehensive, lifespan mental health care. My clinical approach blends rigorous scientific precision with a deeply empathetic, collaborative philosophy, ensuring you feel empowered rather than just a diagnosis.

Experienced across the entire lifespan, I treat children, adolescents, adults, and seniors (ages 4+). I provide evidence-based, specialized care for:

• ADHD Across the Lifespan: Supporting executive functioning and emotional regulation from childhood through adulthood.
• Anxiety & Depressive Disorders: Managing generalized anxiety, panic, and major depression.
• Mood & Psychotic Disorders: Utilizing modern clinical strategies for Bipolar disorder and complex mood shifts.
• Complex Presentations: Providing sensitive care for eating disorders, trauma histories, and personality-related behavior patterns.

Outside of psychiatry, I am an avid traveler and a passionate gardener. Tending to my roses daily is my favorite way to practice mindfulness and decompress, ensuring I return to my patients with a refreshed mind and renewed energy.

Ofrezco terapia en inglés y español (I offer therapy in English and Spanish). With more than two decades of experience, I specialize in professional counseling, care coaching, pastoral counseling, and spiritual guidance.

I enjoy assisting individuals from all walks of life to become a better version of themselves and experience a better quality of life. I strive to provide a safe and trusting environment for individuals to experience acceptance, understanding, compassion, empathy, and respect.

I love to walk alongside individuals by helping them become more aware of their thoughts, feelings, and actions; take greater responsibility for themselves; resolve unfinished business prudently; establish clear direction to their lives; and experience freedom and healing.

I am passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s deepest challenges. My practice focuses on supporting clients through a wide range of personal struggles, including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and self-esteem issues. I also specialize in trauma recovery, relationship guidance—including premarital and marital counseling—and spiritual mentorship.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I believe prioritizing mental health to help create balance and stability in life. Sometimes we just need an outside perspective. I have worked with all age ranges. I would love the chance to empower you to cultivate a better relationship with yourself.
