Do you feel overwhelmed by stress, struggling to manage anger, or finding it hard to maintain healthy relationships? You may feel out of control in certain moments, stuck in patterns that keep repeating, or impacted by past trauma that still affects your daily life. I work with adults across Texas who are navigating PTSD, stress, anger or impulse challenges, and relationship or family conflict. Together, we create a space where you can better understand your reactions, regain control, and start building healthier patterns.

Therapist

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.

You’re a sensitive, empathic, and motivated woman. Lately, you feel lost and numb, and wonder if you will ever feel better. You thought you were ok, but past experiences have reappeared. Anxiety and sadness have crept in. No one can tell because you hold it all together. Faking a smile, scrolling, avoiding, or withdrawing isn’t helping anymore. You’re exhausted, and you’ve shut down. You want to feel confident, less shame and self-doubt, and no longer feel the past is in control.

You don't have to keep carrying everything on your own. Reaching out for therapy takes courage, especially when you've spent so much time putting everyone else's needs before your own. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, or the emotional ups and downs of a mood disorder, you deserve a space where your story matters. My ideal clients seek personal growth and healing, often while facing life transitions or emotional challenges. I offer a safe environment, personalized therapy, and evidence-based strategies to support clients who are looking for clarity and lasting change. I offer virtual therapy for adults (18+) in Texas, specializing in mood disorders, older adults, and caregivers. I also support those facing life transitions, bipolar disorder, pregnancy and postpartum issues, LGBTQ+ and gender identity, racial identity, spirituality, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. Therapy isn't about having a perfect life—it's about finding healthier ways to navigate life's challenges, strengthening your relationships, and reconnecting with the parts of yourself that may have been taken a backseat to life's demands. Real change can happen, and you don’t have to go through it by yourself. Call for a FREE 15-minute consultation to explore what we may be able to accomplish together.

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Healing isn't linear and I understand that deeply, both professionally and personally. As a dual -certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and an attorney, I bring a unique, comprehensive perspective to care. But more than titles, I bring lived experience.

I know grief intimately. The pain I carried afterwards was unexplainable. It didn't fit into a neat diagnosis or timeline. That experience shaped not only how I show up for others but why I do my work.

Whether you are navigating the aftermath of a death, a medical diagnosis, a relationship rupture, or job loss, I offer a safe, grounded and trauma focused space. I help clients process complex emotions, rebuild self-trust, and gently move toward healing, at your own pace.

If you're carrying something heavy, you don't have to carry it alone. I'd be honored to walk with you.
