Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Amarillo, TX

I love working with children, adolescents and adults who may struggle with anxiety, depression, family issues, or any other day-to-day challenges. My ideal client's goals would be for them to become the best version of themselves and be ready to work in and outside of therapy; wanting happiness, health, and overall a better sense of belonging and direction for their life.

I am a licensed mental health professional who works with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, life transitions, and the emotional impact of difficult experiences. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood as they work through life’s challenges.

I believe therapy is most effective when it is a collaborative process. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, I take the time to understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or uncertain about what comes next. Together, we explore those challenges, build insight, and identify practical steps toward meaningful change.

I approach therapy with curiosity, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s story. My hope is that clients leave each session feeling more grounded, empowered, and confident in their ability to navigate life’s challenges and move forward with greater clarity.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges. I began my professional career as an engineer before transitioning into mental health work, driven by a deep desire to help people navigate change, build insight, and feel more at ease with themselves.

I believe in hope—even when things feel overwhelming. I’ve spent many years supporting people through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I warmly welcome children, teens, and adults to reach out. Clients often describe me as open‐minded, direct, and warm—someone who listens deeply but also helps you challenge what’s holding you back.
