I provide psychiatric evaluation and medication management for adults across Texas coping with the emotional aftermath of cancer, chronic illness, ICU stays, surgeries, and other life-threatening medical experiences. Many people feel blindsided by symptoms like fear of recurrence, scan-related anxiety, hypervigilance, grief, anger, or feeling misunderstood. This is medical trauma—and it is real. I offer trauma-informed assessment, diagnosis, and medication management in unhurried, collaborative sessions grounded in shared decision-making. As both a clinician and a two-time breast cancer survivor, I understand how medical trauma impacts identity, relationships, and daily life. My goal is to provide a space where you feel believed, supported, and equipped with evidence-based care and genuine understanding.

Life can feel heavy at times, but even in those hard seasons, healing and change are possible. I help teens and adults to work through anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar, and major life transitions. Whether you’re a teen navigating the ups and downs of growing up, an adult carrying the weight of past experiences, or a parent worried about your child, you don’t have to go through it alone. Together, we’ll uncover your strengths, build healthier coping skills, and find clarity in the chaos. In our sessions, you’ll learn practical tools to manage tough emotions while also gaining the confidence to live with more peace and authenticity. I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. My approach draws from CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, and I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about helping you rediscover your resilience and create a life filled with purpose, peace, and authenticity. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d love to walk alongside you. Reach out today by phone or email, and let’s begin this journey together.
