Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 3 mi away • Lubbock, TX


I’m a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who believes mental health care should feel a lot more human and a lot less like being talked at for 15 minutes and handed a prescription. My background includes emergency, critical care, and procedural nursing, so I’m naturally curious about the whole picture—not just a diagnosis on a chart.

I especially enjoy working with women dealing with ADHD, anxiety, depression, PMDD, burnout, and the emotional chaos that can come with perimenopause and other major life transitions. My approach is evidence-based, hormone-informed, collaborative, and very much “you stay in the driver’s seat.”

I’m not interested in throwing medications at symptoms and hoping something sticks. I want to understand what’s going on in your brain, your body, and your actual life so we can build a treatment plan that makes sense for you. Expect questions, education, honesty, a little humor when appropriate, and a provider who genuinely wants you to feel heard instead of dismissed.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lubbock

Searching for therapists in Lubbock starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. People often look for therapy in Lubbock for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, or stress. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your needs. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, or trauma-informed care.

Lubbock has a range of therapists, counselors, and psychologists, but the right fit also depends on practical details. You may prefer an office near Texas Tech University, downtown Lubbock, or neighborhoods closer to home, or you may want the flexibility of virtual sessions. As you narrow your search, review appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Lubbock can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, verify your benefits, and show an estimated cost before you book. You can browse therapists in Lubbock, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
