Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Odessa, TX

There are seasons of life when you realize you’ve changed, but you’re not entirely sure who you’ve become. Anxiety or depression may be affecting how you feel day to day, tension in your family or relationships may leave you emotionally drained, or you may have spent so much time meeting expectations that your own needs have become difficult to hear. I provide virtual and in person individual therapy for adolescents and adults throughout Texas, with a focus on anxiety, depression, family issues, relationship concerns, and women’s issues. I also support clients navigating trauma, PTSD, and stress when those experiences are contributing to the challenges they face today. My goal is to create a warm, affirming environment where you can step away from the pressure to have everything figured out, understand yourself more clearly, and begin reconnecting with the person you want to be.

Many of the people I work with are accustomed to being the dependable one, yet privately feel anxious, overwhelmed, stuck in cycles of worry or intrusive thoughts, or disconnected from themselves or their relationships. Reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable, so I strive to provide a calm, down-to-earth space where you can be honest without fear of judgment.

My years in education and as a school counselor shaped my patient, practical, and compassionate approach. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two golden retrievers, gardening, working on creative projects, and traveling in our RV. I’m also naturally a night owl, so offering late-evening therapy feels like a genuine extension of who I am.

I’m a board certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner with 20 years of experience caring for patients across a wide range of clinical settings including cardio thoracic vascular surgical intensive care units, and coronary care units. This extensive background has shaped holistic understanding of health and allows me to approach mental health care with both clinical precision and genuine compassion. I am specialized in treating adults (ages 18 and older) with depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, sleeping disorders, substance use disorders with a particular focus on treatment resistant depression. I have specialized training in advanced treatment modalities including ketamine infusions, Spravato, and Trans cranial magnetic stimulation (TMS).

I’m passionate about helping individuals find healing and balance through compassionate, evidence-based mental health care. With over a decade of experience as a registered nurse, I bring a deeply rooted sense of empathy, advocacy, and holistic understanding into every session. I’ve cared for individuals through some of their most vulnerable moments, and that same dedication guides my work in psychiatry. I believe in creating a safe, judgment-free space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported.

Hi! I applaud you for considering counseling to assist you or a family member. My background is working with adults and children with trauma, adjustment issues and high conflict court cases. I also have quite a bit of experience with adults going through life transitions, feeling overwhelmed with life and finding oneself.

Greetings, I am a therapist in private practice for over fifteen years. I am dually licensed as a mental health therapist and an addictions therapist.

Therapy is self-care. I want my client's therapeutic experience to be the best one possible as I know they are using the small amount of time they have to work on themselves. I am the therapist I would want for myself. I am collaborative, knowledgeable, I help simplify the complicated, put words to experiences, feelings, and thoughts, and guide clients in what to do with their findings. I am the therapist you do "the work" with.
