About the Provider
Hello! I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, collaborative, and personalized mental health care.
I earned both my Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Master of Science in Nursing from The University of Texas at Austin. I've been a Registered Nurse for over 2 decades and a Nurse Practitioner for 9 years, and I truly love the work I do.
I have specialized training in perinatal and postpartum mental health. Having personally experienced postpartum depression and anxiety, I understand how overwhelming that season of life can be. I'm passionate about supporting parents with empathy, understanding, and practical treatment options.
I am a proud LGBTQ+ ally and welcome individuals from all backgrounds, identities, and cultures. I value creating a safe, inclusive, and nonjudgmental environment where every person feels respected and heard.
Outside of work, I'm a hobby artist with a small ceramic studio where I
enjoy creating functional pottery for my family and friends.
I also love crocheting and reading fiction novels.
I have three wonderful adult children who have taught me so much over the years. And if we meet via telehealth, you may even be greeted by my three feline assistants—Ruby, Roxy, and Ravi—who occasionally make a guest appearance during appointments. 😊
My approach is centered on getting to know you as a whole person—not just your diagnosis. I believe the best care happens through collaboration, where we work together to develop a treatment plan that aligns with your goals, values, and unique needs.
I strive to meet you where you are in your journey. This is your body and your brain—my role is to provide guidance, education, and evidence-based treatment options so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
I enjoy answering questions and helping my clients feel comfortable every step of the way.
My goal is for our appointments to feel relaxed, supportive,
and comfortable—a place where you can openly discuss
your concerns and know that you're being listened to.
