Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Texas


As a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP‐BC) with Radiance Psychiatry and Wellness, I take a whole‐person approach to mental health care. I recognize that emotional well‐being is shaped by many factors — physical health, stress, relationships, and life experiences — and I work with clients to address each of these areas.

I have experience supporting individuals with anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy, patient education, and lifestyle‐based strategies. I strive to create a welcoming, culturally sensitive space where clients feel empowered, understood, and supported.

My goal is to help you build resilience, gain insight, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

I listen and we learn to judge the behaviors in relation to your goals and ideal self. I approach our initial sessions with structure to allow for clarifying your goals. Once we have a sense of direction, we suspend judgement, and learn to explore your wants, fears, and desires in life. I bring in a calm and humorous approach to allow for different perspectives to emerge with the intent to find out our strengths and deficits to continue learning and discover yourself

Escucho y aprendemos a juzgar los comportamientos en relación con sus metas. Abordo nuestras sesiones iniciales con estructura para que puedas aclarar tus objetivos.

Aporto un enfoque tranquilo y con humor para dejar que surjan diferentes perspectivas con la intención de descubrir nuestras fortalezas y déficits para aprende y descubrír más sobre ti mismo

Great to meet you

If you’re struggling with anxiety, overthinking, trauma, or relationship stress, you’re not alone. Many people face these challenges, and support is available to help you feel understood and less isolated.

I work with adults and adolescents who feel overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns they can’t seem to break. Many of my clients deal with high anxiety, racing thoughts, people-pleasing, and difficulty setting boundaries. Still, therapy can help you find hope and a way forward, even if it looks like you have everything together on the outside.

If you’re constantly overanalyzing, feeling on edge, or carrying the weight of past experiences, therapy can help you slow things down and regain control, empowering you to manage your thoughts and feelings more effectively.

Therapist

Virtual • Texas


I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas working with teens and adults. I came to counseling after more than a decade in education, and I have a master's in Counseling and Development from Lamar University.

Many of the people I work with have spent years adapting to their families, cultures, workplaces, or systems that weren't built with them in mind. Sometimes they've adapted so well they've lost track of what they actually want. I focus on anxiety, neurodivergent burnout, LGBTQ+ identity and identity exploration, immigrant and first-generation experiences, grief that often goes unrecognized (pet loss, estrangement, immigration-related loss), and reproductive decisions. I'm a neurodivergent immigrant myself, which is part of what brought me to this work.

I believe every person holds the power to heal, grow, and live out their boldest dreams. Life’s challenges and trauma can block that potential. I offer transformational and practical tools to help individuals overcome mental health struggles and awaken to abundant fulfillment.

​

As a thriver myself, I’ve moved beyond immense adversity and now guide others to do the same. With over two decades of experience across private practice, government, and global consulting, I’ve supported NFL athletes, entertainers, healthcare providers, spiritual leaders, executives, military and government leaders and more to navigate the perils of life.

​

As an EMDR-trained, culturally responsive therapist, I integrate holistic and evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, CPT, IFS, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. I also incorporate spiritually grounded and decolonized practices where desired.

​

Rooted in social justice, I engage in advocacy through education, training, and collaborative partnerships. I’m honored to support people across racial, gender, and identity spectrums, including the LGBTQIA+ community.

Since 2004, I’ve journeyed with countless people to support them to rediscover hope. If you’re feeling drawn to this space, I’m here to walk with you.


Fun fact: I’m a mom of four, a fashion therapist, and a lover of music, vintage finds (furniture and clothing), and all things metaphysical. If I weren’t a therapist, I’d be in law or fashion!
