Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Hutto, TX

Clients should know that I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every session. I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, people managing anxiety or depression, and those navigating major life transitions. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning I value your voice in the process and tailor our work together to your unique goals.

I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can be fully yourself without judgment. My role is to listen, guide, and equip you with tools that promote resilience, self-awareness, and growth. I also understand the importance of balancing mental health with real-life challenges like school, work, and relationships, and I integrate practical strategies to help you thrive in each area.

Most importantly, I want clients to know that they are not alone. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on both healing and building the confidence to move forward.

I believe healing begins with feeling heard, understood, and supported without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), I have over a decade of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families across outpatient, community mental health, crisis intervention, emergency departments, and behavioral health settings.

Throughout my career, I have helped individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, relationship challenges, ADHD, mood disorders, and crisis situations. My background also includes leadership roles within behavioral health, allowing me to advocate for clients while providing compassionate, evidence-based care.

My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients feel empowered to build resilience, gain insight, and create meaningful, lasting change.

Hello! I have a Masters of Education in Counseling and Human Development and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2002, with Supervisory status (2020). I am also a Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist (CTRS) and have been since 1993. I am dedicated to fostering peace, respect, and healing within individuals and families. I am nurturing, patient and non-judgmental to help create a supportive environment where challenges can be addressed. I am a vocal advocate for children, teenagers, and adults. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals, RTC's, with TYC, private practice (all ages for individuals and families) and MHMR (focus on crisis counseling for children and teenagers). Trauma, depression, anxiety, crisis, and grief are some of my speciality areas.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a DNP (Doctor of Nursing Practice) degree from the University of Massachusetts Global.

Life can feel overwhelming at times, and you don't have to navigate it alone. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, and the kind of stress that quietly wears you down — and I especially enjoy supporting men who may be trying therapy for the first time. My goal is to provide a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, and respectfully challenged to grow. Together, we'll identify what's keeping you stuck, build on your strengths, and create practical strategies that move you toward the life you want to live. I hold a Master of Education from Lamar University and bring a warm, empowering, judgment-free approach to every session.

I have a passion for helping people navigate life's challenges. Seeking help can feel like a big step, but it's also a powerful one. I offer a collaborative and nonjudgemental space for discovering strengths and with helping you feel empowered.
