About
Having experienced personal trauma and life's challenges, I am passionate about creating a safe and compassionate space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered to heal.
I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with 4 years of experience in mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, mood disorders, and life transitions. I combine evidence-based medication management with supportive therapy to promote healing and long-term well-being. I am dedicated to creating a compassionate, client-centered environment where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered in their journey toward mental health.
I earned my Master’s in Nursing from Walden University, where I developed a strong commitment to evidence-based care and holistic treatment. My approach blends medication management with supportive therapy to address each client’s unique needs, build coping strategies, and foster resilience and stability.
Taking the first step toward mental health care can feel overwhelming, but it is also an important act of strength. My goal is to provide thoughtful, personalized support that empowers you to move forward with confidence. If you’re ready to begin your path toward greater stability and well-being, I encourage you to schedule an appointment.

I know how heavy life can feel, and through my personal experiences with loss and anxiety and my professional work supporting others, I’ve learned that healing, growth, and empowerment are possible.
I love helping all people navigate anxiety and the ups and downs of everyday life—because let's be honest, it can get a little chaotic. I aim to create a space that feels supportive, nonjudgmental, and real, where you can be yourself. Along the way, I'll help you gain insight, build tools, and maybe even share a few laughs as you grow into the version of yourself you're working toward.
My approach is warm, person-centered, and empathetic. I use trauma-focused care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients understand themselves and build healthier ways of coping. I especially enjoy supporting individuals navigating anxiety, life transitions, low self-esteem, and trauma.
No matter where you are in your journey, you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Healing, growth, and change are possible. Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, but it can also be the beginning of meaningful transformation. When you're ready, I would be honored to support you as you move toward healing and personal growth.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

Therapy for men maintains a focus on the emotional and mental impacts of being a man in society, dealing with issues like the pressures of toxic masculinity and the traditional familial roles of men, among others. Thriveworks Austin therapists who specialize in treating men work to create a safe space for them to emote and care for their mental well-being without fear of judgment.
Therapy for men has many aspects of traditional psychotherapy, but it also maintains a clear person-centered and humanistic approach. Thriveworks Austin therapists will work with men to reach their therapy goals through self-reflection and introspection—uncovering specific emotional, behavioral, and mental patterns that are having a negative effect or are inhibiting personal growth and slowly working to change them over time.
Therapy for men at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
Therapy for men can last for a few months or occur over the course of years, often continuing until the client feels that their goals are met and their desired growth has been achieved. However, it will likely last at least five months, as that is the average amount of time it takes for the therapeutic process to take effect and bring about lasting change.
Men have a great deal of demands on their time. Work, family, friends, health; the list can go on and on. At times, the stress of daily life can be simply too much to handle. Work is not going well, there is fighting at home, and you seem to be just losing control of all the things you care about in life. Men are often expected to be strong and silent. While this can be helpful for resiliency, it can also create communication problems and a lack of coping skills. Whether the daily challenges of life are causing you to consider counseling, or you are dealing with a serious trauma or psychological issue, we are here to help.
Thriveworks counselors can help you press the pause button on life. We can help you find perspective and patience for the challenging times. We have counselors that are skilled and experienced in helping men with many different issues. Addictions, grief counseling, career counseling, life coaching, couples counseling and divorce recovery are just some of the specialties that are helpful to men. We will match you with a counselor that is well equipped to deal with your particular need and place in life.
Many counseling offices operate with long waiting lists. Thriveworks is different. We understand that it can be overwhelming to make that first phone call for help. When you call us for the first time, we have appointments available within 24 hours. We are ready to help when we are needed.
