I have over 24 years of experience working with all different age groups and diagnoses. I have extensive experience working with complex trauma to include military, veteran and first responder related experiences. I have years of experience working with PTSD, moral injury and survivor's guilt.
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.

Hello! I am a board-certified Psychiatric–Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to caring for individuals and families across Texas. I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice from The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in 2025 and my Bachelor of Science in Nursing from Texas Tech University in 2018. I have experience in emergency medicine, inpatient psychiatry, crisis services, substance detoxification, trauma, and sexual assault care—backgrounds that shape my compassionate, trauma-informed approach. I enjoy working with children (ages 5+), teens, and adults. I treat a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, mood and behavioral disorders, trauma, bipolar disorder, and schizophrenia, always with warmth, respect, and clinical expertise.
I've become very familiar with many aspects of the mental health field. I work with motivated clients willing to take responsibility for becoming well and happy.
My passion has always been helping marriages, families, and relationship. For the past 20+ years, I have specialized in marital relationships, helping people to build the relationships that they truly desire.
You don't have to be in crisis to deserve a space to heal. As a bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist with 23 years of experience, I provide a warm, practical space for children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, anger, and grief. Together, we’ll use real-world tools to reframe negative thoughts and manage strong emotions—moving at your pace, in whichever language feels most like home.
I received both my Bachelors and Masters in Social Work from the University of Texas at Austin. I have been in private practice for more than 10 years. Prior to private practice, my career began as an inpatient therapist on locked units at psychiatric facilities Cambridge Hospital (currently Sun Behavioral Hospital) and West Oaks Hospital. In addition to my inpatient work at West Oaks Hospital, I was a group facilitator with both adolescents and adults for the outpatient extension of the hospital: The Excel Center. My work at The Excel Center involved daily group therapy in both the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) and Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP).
Because of my work with the acute psychiatric population in intensive treatment settings, I am able to work as a generalist practitioner. I work with most issue from depression, anxiety, and OCD to trauma, addiction and relationships struggles... just to name a few.
