I am a Licensed Private Counselor serving clients in Texas.

All information about a person is important and can be used as a steppingstone toward wholeness and healing. I have worked with children, teens, adults, and people with special needs.

We grow at our own pace, but it is my experience that with counseling support, personal evolution can happen more quickly.

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.
