Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Amarillo, TX

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC-S) with over 12 years of experience helping children, teens, and adults navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful growth. I earned my Master’s degree in Counseling from Our Lady of the Lake University.

I have experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship difficulties. I am especially passionate about helping clients build resilience, process difficult experiences, and create lasting, positive change in their lives.

For clients seeking trauma-focused care, I am Master Trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), a research-backed approach that can help resolve distressing memories in a more efficient and effective way.

It is my belief that as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding a sense of peace and contentment in their lives. Some of my clients need only a few sessions to achieve these goals, others may require months or even years to put their puzzle pieces together. As a client, you are in complete control, and you may end your relationship with me at any point. I am actively licensed in the State of Texas as a LMFT; LPC; and LCDC.

For therapy to be most successful, it is important for you to take an active role. This means working on the things you and I talk about, both during and between sessions. Generally, the more you are willing to invest the greater the return. It is my intention to empower you in your growth process to the degree that you can face life’s challenges in the future without me. I do not believe in creating dependency or prolonging therapy if the therapeutic intervention does not seem to be helping.

As a clinician, I have experience providing person-centered recovery plans; rehabilitation skills training; case management; and crisis intervention services, to individuals living with severe and persistent mental health concerns. I am qualified to offer a wide array of counseling services in the areas of Individual Family; Couples; and Chemical Dependency. Counseling services to address a wide range of mental health and relationship issues that impact a person’s emotional health and wellbeing.

I’m passionate about helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, life challenges and transitions, identity, grief and loss, and relational challenges with compassion and practical support. I utilize evidence based treatment depending on your needs and treatment goals. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of experience in community mental health in Oklahoma, where I provided individual therapy, group therapy, and crisis intervention. I hold a BA in Psychology from Harding University and an MA in Clinical Psychology from Wheaton College. Before returning to the U.S. in 2023, I lived abroad in France and North Africa for over seven years, an experience that deepened my understanding of culture, transition, and resilience.

Clients should know that I believe everyone has strengths and the ability to create positive change. My approach is supportive, respectful, and focused on what’s working rather than what’s wrong. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we set clear goals, highlight your progress, and build practical solutions that fit your life. You can expect a safe, nonjudgmental space where your voice matters and where we work together to move toward hope, healing, and growth.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is let someone walk beside you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings. I also offer virtual ESA evaluations for adults across Texas.
