For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Individuals often struggle to acknowledge the significance of mental health conditions due to the discomfort of vulnerability. However, rest assured that I am here to support you during these challenging moments.

I hold both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and a Master of Science degree from Texas Woman's University in Denton, Texas. My professional credentials include dual board certifications: one as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner accredited by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC), and another as a Family Nurse Practitioner recognized by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP). My current focus lies in the field of psychiatric mental health, delivered through telehealth services. My mission is to enhance the accessibility of mental health care, eliminating barriers to reach individuals in need. I'm dedicated to offering you a compassionate and non-judgmental approach to address a wide spectrum of mental and emotional concerns, ranging from stress, anger, and depression to anxiety, emotional distress, and various other conditions, regardless of their magnitude.

I wish I could tell them that interpersonal trauma heals in a caring relationship. My only regret is not having started therapy earlier in my life. 

I speak English and Spanish. I work with children, teenagers, and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, or trauma. My focus is to help individuals heal and become aware of their inner strengths and resilience. I provide a safe space, listen to your concerns, and customize a treatment plan using several modalities that activate and integrate the whole brain. To best heal from challenging situations, you need to be connected to others. While working with parents and families, I focus on increasing attachment and connection so that you can be the parent you want.

I completely understand your hesitancy. It is strange opening up to a complete stranger about the most difficult aspects that you are dealing with. I will say that it is a risk to share those intimate details of yourself, but I find that as with most great things in life, counseling takes risk. The reward of better understanding yourself and processing through that difficulty is worth the risk. So if you feel that you need help, please take the risk.

Beginning counseling can be a very different experience. Becoming comfortable enough to discuss personal and difficult topics about your life is not always easy. I understand, as a person who has been in counseling myself, which is why I became a counselor. I know that faith can be an important part of people's walk in life and can integrate concepts of faith into counseling based on each individuals preference. I also realize that others wish to focus just on the therapeutic concepts that will aid their journey. I want to engage with you where you are and process all that is currently occurring in your life. I have found that through my journey of becoming a counselor that I want to help those who have experienced trauma. I also want to help those who struggle with addiction to aid in their changes they are pursuing. I want to be a support to relationships that are experiencing difficulty and are hoping for restoration as well as ending relationships well. The other issues that I can provide service for are anxiety, depression, and general life difficulties. I want to provide a peaceful and engaging experience that will help you on your journey to complete health. No matter what brings you to counseling you will be cared for. Please reach out via email, text, or phone to begin that process for your health.

One of the most powerful things I’ve ever done is to go to therapy. I was so afraid that my issues were too big or that if I started opening up, the floodgates would open and I’d fall apart. But, none of that happened! Going to therapy is one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself. (And it’s made me a better therapist.)

It is my sincere belief that we are all just trying to do the best we can to make it through this thing called life, and life is hard. Sometimes life’s hardships result in trauma to you or your child, which can negatively impact emotions and behaviors. If your child is having difficulty managing their emotions or behavior, or if you are an adult who is experiencing emotional or behavioral dysregulation, I can help. I’m here to help guide the journey towards healing, whether it’s healing for yourself, your child, or your whole family.

Just as a garden flourishes with tender care, so too can the garden of your heart bloom with renewal and growth. Together, we will navigate the landscapes of your emotions, gently tending to the wounds, nurturing resilience, and fostering a sanctuary of inner peace. Through each step, know that you are not alone – I am here to walk alongside you, providing unwavering support and a safe haven for your healing
