About
I genuinely understand how confusing and overwhelming it can feel when life seems to be falling apart, but finding new tools for healing can help us find strength and hope again.
I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) with 11 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and relationship challenges. I am passionate about helping people find healing, growth, and balance as they navigate difficult seasons of life. My approach is collaborative, warm, and centered on creating a safe space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move toward meaningful change.
I earned my master’s in clinical mental health counseling from the University of Texas at Tyler. I integrate cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment-based therapy, family systems, and creative therapeutic tools to meet each client’s needs. I also focus on helping clients build skills that encourage resilience and long-term emotional well-being.
You do not need to have everything figured out to begin therapy. I am here to listen with compassion and help you take steps toward healing at your own pace. When you are ready, we can begin this journey together and work toward creating a healthier, more balanced, and fulfilling life.

As a nurse practitioner, I combine evidence-based medication management with compassionate listening to support the whole person—not just their diagnosis.
I am a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner (PMHNP) with 18 years of experience providing compassionate, person-centered care to adolescents and adults. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and emotional dysregulation. Many of the patients I support feel overwhelmed or frustrated by symptoms that interfere with daily functioning and relationships, and I work to help them gain clarity, balance, and practical tools for long-term stability.
I earned my master’s degree in nursing from Maryville University. My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based medication management. I take time to understand each patient’s full story and develop individualized treatment plans that support symptom relief and sustainable progress.
Seeking support takes courage, and you do not have to navigate this process alone. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where concerns are taken seriously, and progress happens in realistic, manageable steps. When you are ready, I would be honored to work alongside you on your path toward healing and balance.

Mental health affects those from all walks of life, and I truly believe that seeking treatment is the first step to healing.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 5 years of experience treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder. Before becoming an advanced practice registered nurse in 2024, I worked as a psychiatric nurse in an inpatient facility. My nursing background spans 8 years in areas such as orthopedics, neurology/trauma, medical-surgical, and psychiatry. I bring this diverse experience to support clients with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University. I believe in meeting clients where they are, building trust through open dialogue, and encouraging small but meaningful steps toward growth. I incorporate both medication management and non-pharmacological strategies to support overall mental wellness.
I understand that seeking care is not always easy, but you are not alone. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, mood instability, or other challenges, I want you to feel seen, supported, and valued. My goal is to help you take that first step with confidence and to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing.

I hold a master’s in clinical counseling from Emporia State University. I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to help clients identify how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors influence daily life. My approach emphasizes collaboration and skill-building to foster long-term emotional balance.
I’m passionate about helping clients explore both current and past struggles to discover lasting growth and healing. I’m here to be part of your journey toward self-understanding and resilience, and I look forward to supporting you as you take steps toward meaningful change.
