If you’re the one everyone depends on but you feel anxious, burned out, or emotionally drained, you don’t have to keep pushing through alone. I work with adults who are high-functioning on the outside but overwhelmed on the inside, especially women, professionals, parents, caregivers, and veterans navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, burnout, and major life transitions.

I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) and over 20 years of experience across diverse healthcare settings. As a veteran, I bring personal understanding of military culture and chronic stress. My approach is collaborative, culturally responsive, and judgment-free, blending evidence-based medication management with supportive, real-world conversation.

If you’re looking for care that feels thoughtful, respectful, and tailored to your life, not rushed or one-size-fits-all, invite you to schedule a consultation and take the first step toward feeling more grounded and supported.

I earned my Master of Science in Social Work at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2003. I had the privilege of starting in the field of sexual abuse/violence, which began my real-life education. I've continued my study of trauma, and in family dynamics. This continues to shape my growth. I have years of experience working in psychiatric hospitals with those struggling with severe mental illness. The one thing that I've learned and want to share is this: people can (and do!) get better.

I am a warm and creative counselor dedicated to helping clients reach their full potential.

Do you find yourself comparing your life to others and wondering why things don’t seem to fall into place for you? Do you struggle with anxiety, or feeling like you’re not good enough, important enough, or that you exist mainly to take care of everyone else?

If you’ve spent years feeling overlooked, misunderstood, excluded, or expected to simply “pull yourself up by your bootstraps,” therapy can offer a safe space to slow down and explore what you’ve been carrying.

Perhaps you were overlooked or hurt in childhood, bullied or excluded as a teenager, or felt like you never quite fit in. Over time, you may have learned to wear a mask so well that, as an adult, it can be difficult to even identify what feels wrong inside.

I can help you acknowledge that pain, find your voice, and develop greater self-compassion. Together, we can explore the experiences that shaped you, recognize your strengths, and build resilience as you move toward a more empowered way of being.

I work with adolescents, young adults, parents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, self-doubt, life transitions, and the lasting impact of difficult experiences.

I have specialized training in experiential therapies, including expressive arts and Sandtray, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and insight-oriented talk therapy. I create individualized treatment plans based on your needs, goals, and concerns.

You don’t have to keep wearing the mask or carry everything alone. Therapy can be a place to feel seen, understood, and supported as you reconnect with yourself and move forward.

As someone in recovery myself, I understand how heavy addiction can feel. Sometimes we just need someone to sit in the pit with us while we gather the strength to climb out. What keeps me going are the goals that I set after I got out of my own pit. I built a life I love. When I'm not in my office, I'm probably out collecting comic book memorabilia, working on a project on my house, teaching my dogs about the importance of boundaries, or watching Jurassic Park. What keeps you going?
