Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Tyler, TX

Grief, trauma, and emotional pain can change the way you see yourself, your relationships, and even the world around you. At the same time, anxiety or depression can make moving forward feel harder than you expected, especially when cultural or family experiences add another layer to what you're carrying. Therapy can give you a place to make sense of it all without having to separate one part of yourself from another. I provide individual therapy in English and Spanish for children, adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Texas, with both virtual and in person options. My primary areas of focus include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, and cultural and ethnic concerns, along with stress management when life's demands begin to feel overwhelming. With five years of experience, my goal is to understand your experiences in context, recognize the strengths you already possess, and help you find a path forward that feels meaningful to you.

UT Tyler graduate with my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2022. I've seen clients ranging from age 11 to 72. I completed my internship at Smith County Probation for two semesters and have been working at HopeLink Counseling, a group private practice, for over 3 years.

To say "things aren't always easy" is often an understatement. Sometimes things are more than hard, and may have been piling up for a while. Whether you're battling depression, anxiety, grief, or changes in life, I'm here to help. I've worked with children, teens and adults in an inpatient psychiatric hospital, where they work to sort out their struggles. I have seen the damage trauma can do to relationships, but have also seen the power in connecting with others.

I bring years of experience to my work with individuals and families struggling with mental health challenges. I have worked exclusively in outpatient mental health since completing my studies, and I am deeply committed to empowering my clients to thrive. As a mother of five children - including one who passed at a young age - and a bonus child, I understand firsthand the important role that mental health plays in our overall well-being and happiness.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and board-approved supervisor in Texas. I received my Masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2017 from The University of Texas at Tyler. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and the effects of past experiences that continue to show up in the present.

In my work, I focus on creating a space that feels steady, supportive, and nonjudgmental. Many of the people I work with aren’t always sure where to start. They may just know that something feels off or overwhelming. Together, we begin to make sense of those experiences in a way that feels more manageable.

I specialize in dysregulated kids and women healing from childhood trauma. I use a playful, relationship-based approach and incorporate therapy animals, which helps clients feel safe quickly.

I tend to work best with families looking for more in-depth, personalized support

I’m a caring clinical social worker with 25 years of experience helping people develop coping skills to navigate life’s ups and downs. I’m dedicated to creating relationships that provide a safe space for growth and change. I’m passionate about exploring the whole person, considering how our physical, mental, and emotional health connect with our social surroundings, environment, and sense of purpose in life.
