If you’re considering therapy, chances are something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. You may feel overwhelmed, stuck in familiar patterns, disconnected from yourself or the people around you, or simply ready for something to change.

I work with people navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, people-pleasing and conflict avoidance, trauma, grief, identity concerns, life transitions, and difficulty expressing what they need or want. My goal isn’t to fit you into a box or tell you who you should become. It’s to understand what life is like for you, what is getting in your way, and where you want to go from here.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • 14 mi away • Dallas, TX


Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.

I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.

I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.

For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.

Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.

LIFE be LIFING...You’ve been carrying a lot for a long time. Maybe anxiety, depression, past experiences, or high-stress situations are starting to catch up with you, and it’s getting harder to manage on your own. You might feel stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand or unsure how to move forward. If you’re ready to feel more in control, break unhealthy cycles, and finally have space to focus on yourself, we can work together to help you create clarity, stability, and real, lasting change.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 18 mi away • Farmers Branch, TX


I work with adults who feel stuck in patterns they understand intellectually but have difficulty changing, often related to early trauma, complex family dynamics, or relationships. You may find yourself disconnected from yourself or others, struggling with shame, boundaries, people-pleasing, or a sense of who you are. Together, we can slow down, get curious about what’s happening, and explore what might be possible.
