Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Mesquite, TX

Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.

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 genuine, compassionate, and dedicated to meeting you where you are on your journey. I believe in creating a safe, judgment-free environment where your voice matters. I honor your unique experiences and am committed to walking alongside you with empathy, respect, and encouragement. My approach is collaborative and personalized, drawing on my expertise and lived experience as a Black female clinician and veteran. I am here to support you, advocate for you, and help you discover your strengths as we work together toward your goals.

I'm a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) who values authenticity, compassion, and support in the healing process. Formerly a critical care RN of 12 years. I earned my Master of Science in Nursing from Walden University and have worked in both inpatient and outpatient behavioral health settings, helping individuals manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

I believe mental health care should feel human — not clinical or intimidating. My goal is to help you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered as we work together to find what wellness means for you.

My practice focuses on supporting clients through a wide range of personal struggles, including anxiety, stress, depression, grief, and self-esteem issues.
