Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) degree from the University of Massachusetts Global. I have experience working with adolescents and adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including OCD, depression, anxiety, ADHD and mood disorders.
I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.
In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and the kind of stress that quietly wears you down — and I especially enjoy supporting men who may be trying therapy for the first time. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respectfully challenged to grow. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to live. I hold a Master of Education from Lamar University and bring a warm, empowering, judgment-free approach to every session.
I have been practicing since 2008 and bring over 17 years of experience helping people move through life’s difficult seasons with more clarity, strength, and self-trust. I grew up in Canada and later moved to Texas, where I completed my master’s in Counseling. Over the years, I have worked with clients navigating anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, relationship issues, and life transitions. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in painful patterns, or unsure how to move forward. My goal is to offer a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported as we begin making sense of what is weighing on you and what healing could look like.
What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Amarillo
Finding the right provider for ADHD in Amarillo starts with identifying the type of care you need. A licensed therapist — such as an LPC or psychologist — can help with behavioral strategies, time management, and coping skills through approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). If medication management is part of your plan, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can evaluate symptoms and prescribe. Many providers on Headway offer support for ADHD in adults, children, and teens.
Amarillo is a smaller metro in the Texas Panhandle, so the number of local ADHD specialists may be more limited than in larger Texas cities like Dallas or Houston. Virtual appointments can expand your options significantly, connecting you with licensed providers across Texas who accept your insurance. When comparing providers, look for experience with ADHD specifically, and read their bios to understand their approach and style before booking.
Therapy in Amarillo can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce your out-of-pocket costs for ADHD care. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before booking your first appointment. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit — making it easier to find a provider who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
