LGBT therapists in Wichita Falls, TX

You don't have to fit a certain mold to feel at home in therapy. I'm a secular, non-religious therapist who works primarily with adults and older adolescents who are choosing to be in therapy and ready to make a change. I work with anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, identity, relationships, and life's challenges, with a particular appreciation for clients who consider themselves a little nerdier or outside the mainstream.

I believe effective mental health care begins with trust, collaboration, and respect. My approach is empowering, compassionate, open-minded, and culturally sensitive. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment where adolescents and adults feel heard, respected, and actively involved in their care. I combine a holistic, whole-person perspective with evidence-based psychiatric assessment, diagnosis, medication management, and supportive psychotherapy to create personalized treatment plans that promote lasting wellness.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with more than 20 years of nursing experience in hospitals, outpatient clinics, private practices, community health centers, and behavioral health settings. I treat a wide range of conditions, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, psychotic disorders, and other complex mental health concerns.

My career also includes international humanitarian work with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), where I cared for individuals affected by conflict and crisis. This experience strengthened my commitment to providing compassionate, culturally responsive, and patient-centered care for people from diverse backgrounds.

In addition to my clinical practice, I am the author of several mental health publications that reflect my dedication to education, evidence-based practice, and improving patient outcomes. I currently provide comprehensive psychiatric care through Oasis Behavioral Health and Elevated Behavioral and Transitional Health.

My goal is to partner with you to develop practical, individualized strategies that improve emotional well-being, daily functioning, and overall quality of life.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who believes therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and understood—not judged. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, stress, low self-esteem, relationship and communication challenges, anger, life transitions, trauma, and other emotional or behavioral concerns.

I bring a warm, compassionate, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I recognize that every person’s experiences are different, and I take the time to understand your story, strengths, challenges, and goals. My role is not to tell you how to live your life, but to help you gain insight, develop healthier ways of coping, and feel more confident navigating the challenges in front of you.

Whether you are struggling with something that has been weighing on you for years or simply need support navigating a difficult season, you do not have to figure it all out alone.

My potential client should know that I let you be in the drivers seat of what you want to grow, change, add, or need support in. I am here to listen and provide safe space in sharing your story. We will work together in finding what is needed to improve your life.

Welcome and congratulations on taking this step! I work with individuals who struggle with self-image, anxiety, depression, and self-motivation. I have been practicing for over 8 years. I will work with you to find your strengths and aid in building with you from there.

I have a Ph.D in Counseling. I've been a therapist since 1984 and I listen very well. I help clients with anxiety, depression and relationship issues and more.
