Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Victoria, TX

With a master's degree in clinical psychology and 15 years of clinical experience with children, adolescents and adult populations, I’m passionate about helping clients navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and practical tools. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful change at your own pace. I have experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, trauma, life transitions, stress, grief and relationship concerns.

I specialize in helping adults overcome addiction, including substance use and gaming addiction. I understand the challenges of rebuilding relationships, setting boundaries, and addressing the underlying causes of addictive behaviors. My approach is supportive, relatable, and focused on practical growth. I also work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts.

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is let someone walk beside you. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, ADHD, self-esteem concerns, or simply feeling stuck, you don't have to face it alone. My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow.

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a Master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston. I have experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults in both inpatient and outpatient settings.

I'm a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care for adolescents and adults. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and supported. My approach is collaborative and personalized, focusing on helping you achieve meaningful, lasting improvements in your mental health and overall well-being.

Great to meet you! I specialize in anger management, emotional regulation, DBT-informed care, and crisis support, helping clients navigate stress in relationships, daily life, and high-pressure environments. With nearly two decades in mental health, I bring experience across hospice, emergency room, hospital, and virtual behavioral health settings. I hold degrees in Human Development and Social Work, an Anger Management Specialist Certificate, and I’m fully licensed in Arizona, North Dakota, Texas, and Washington.

Volunteering has been vital to me since my teenage years; therefore, it was fitting that I choose therapy as my career. After completing a master's in counseling, I volunteered at Catholic Charities (Houston) to complete my hours for the license. In addition to CBT, DBT, and CPT, I have also added EMDR, among others, to complement my experience and desire for growth.

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a career shaped by service, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent many years as a CNA and later earned my BSN from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. I worked bedside at University Hospital, transitioned to hospice in 2016, and later served in case management at UTHSCSA. In 2023, I began my DNP–PMHNP program, completing it while working full time at Clarity Child Guidance Center. On December 13th, 2025, I was officially granted the title of “Dr.”, became board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on February 9th, 2026, and finally obtained my APRN with the Texas Board of Nursing on March 12th, 2026!

My doctoral project focused on reducing seclusion rates for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder using evidence‐based, trauma‐informed interventions—an area close to my heart as a parent of a special‐needs child. I’m passionate about geriatric psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, and I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative style to treatment.

I also briefly served in the United States Air Force, an experience that strengthened my commitment to resilience, service, and advocacy. Today, I continue to advocate for women affected by domestic violence, helping them reclaim safety, confidence, and possibility.

On a personal note, I’m a mom of two boys, happily married for 11 years, and the proud owner of four dogs. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me drinking coffee, shopping for plants, collecting perfumes, baking, cooking, or spending time with family and friends. These parts of my life help me stay balanced, grounded, and connected—values I bring into every therapeutic relationship.

Many of the people I work with are navigating profound turning points — preparing for adoption, navigating post adoption, moving through family transitions, or facing separations that reshape everything they've known. Others have quietly carried the weight of growing up without a strong family foundation, wondering why trusting others, or even themselves, still feels so hard. Whether you're a parent trying to show up for your child while processing your own pain, an adult learning to ask for what you need, or someone still figuring out who you are and what your purpose is, you've come to the right place.
