4401 6th Street, Lubbock, TX

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and I believe good mental health care starts with an actual conversation—not a checklist, a quick prescription, and a "see you in three months."

Before specializing in psychiatry, I spent over a decade working in emergency, critical care, and procedural nursing. That experience taught me that what's happening with your mental health rarely exists in a vacuum. Your physical health, hormones, relationships, stress, and everyday life all deserve a seat at the table.

I have a particular passion for helping women navigate ADHD, anxiety, bipolar, depression, PMDD, perimenopause, and those wonderfully complicated seasons of life when everything seems to be changing at once.

My approach is evidence-based, hormone-informed, and collaborative. I'm not here to throw medications at symptoms and cross my fingers. I'm here to ask thoughtful questions, connect the dots, explain your options, and help you find a treatment plan that actually fits your life.

You can expect honest conversations, education without the medical jargon, a little humor when the moment calls for it, and absolutely no judgment. Most importantly, you'll always have a voice in your care. You're the expert on your lived experience, and my job is to bring the clinical expertise to help you make informed decisions.

Because you deserve more than someone who listens just long enough to write a prescription. You deserve someone who truly listens.

Therapist

2514 82nd Street, Lubbock, TX

Life can be challenging sometimes and being able to talk about those challenges is often helpful and reassuring. I take a direct, solution-focused approach to counseling in an accepting and supportive manner.

Trauma comes in many forms, and I especially enjoy helping others work through trauma to gain a better understanding of how that trauma may still affect them. Talking about difficult issues cannot change the past, but it CAN help to understand the past and look toward a better future.

Life changes are also difficult. Marriage, divorce, having children, changing employment, changing locations, and unexpected trauma are often difficult to navigate and adjust to. Talk therapy serves to help you better understand yourself and others. Understanding yourself means feeling better about yourself and feeling more in control of your choices and your life.

Everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes and there is no shame in asking for help.

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.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
