Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, parenting challenges, or a major life transition, it can feel exhausting trying to hold everything together while carrying so much on your own. You don't have to face those challenges alone. For more than 15 years, I've partnered with individuals experiencing anxiety, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, and trauma, helping them build resilience, strengthen relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Working with adolescents and adults, I provide a warm, open minded environment where you can feel genuinely heard, supported, and empowered to move forward with confidence while honoring the experiences that have shaped your journey.

You should know that I truly care about who you are, not just the symptoms you’re experiencing. I understand that reaching out for mental health support can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged, misunderstood, or dismissed in the past. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, heard, and respected from the very first conversation.

I approach every person with compassion, patience, and curiosity. I take the time to understand your story, your stressors, and what matters most to you, so your care is never one-size-fits-all. I believe healing happens best when you feel supported and involved in your treatment, and I see our work as a true partnership.

I am committed to using evidence-based practices while also honoring your lived experience. Whether we are focusing on medication, coping strategies, or long-term growth, I will always be honest, supportive, and collaborative.

Above all, you should know that you are not alone here, and your well-being is my priority.

Thank you for visiting Little Light Wellness!

I am a board certified nurse practitioner in both psychiatry and family medicine. I received my Bachelors of Nursing through UT Austin in 2008 and my Family Nurse Practitioner Masters degree through UT Austin in 2014. I have spent the last 11 years treating patients with complex autoimmune medical conditions in an outpatient infusion setting.

In 2024, after realizing a need for holistic psychiatric care for my patients, I received my Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Certification through Johns Hopkins University.

I created Little Light Wellness to integrate my passions for authentic, down-to-earth care, education, and empowering collaborative approaches to psychiatric treatment. My goal is to create a safe space for you to feel truly seen, heard, and understood as we discover what treatment paths work best for you on your mental wellness journey.

As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC) with Radiance Psychiatry and Wellness, I take a whole‐person approach to mental health care. I recognize that emotional well‐being is shaped by many factors — physical health, stress, relationships, and life experiences — and I work with clients to address each of these areas.

I have experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy, patient education, and lifestyle‐based strategies. I strive to create a welcoming, culturally sensitive space where clients feel empowered, understood, and supported.

My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.
