(Doctor of Nursing Practice | Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner)

Providing compassionate psychiatric care for children, adolescents, and adults.

As the Clinical Leader of Mindful Solutions Psychiatry, I am committed to fostering a culture of compassionate, patient-centered care. By working closely with our clinical and support teams, I help ensure that every patient experience reflects our values of respect, collaboration, professionalism, and clinical excellence. My focus is on maintaining a high standard of care while supporting positive outcomes and meaningful patient experiences.

I believe that meaningful mental health care begins with feeling heard, understood, and respected. My goal is to create a welcoming environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their concerns and actively participating in treatment decisions.

With more than 20 years of healthcare experience and a dedicated focus on psychiatry over the past several years, I am committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve meaningful improvements in their mental and emotional well-being.

I earned my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from the University of Texas at Arlington, where I developed the clinical foundation that continues to guide my patient-centered approach to care. I provide care for children ages 10 and older, adolescents, and adults experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns.

Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to work with diverse patient populations, which has reinforced my belief that meaningful treatment starts with genuine human connection. I believe that effective treatment requires understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that bring them to care. Patients often appreciate my collaborative approach, thoughtful listening, and commitment to ensuring they feel comfortable, informed, and involved in treatment decisions. When we meet, I will take the time to listen carefully, answer your questions, and work with you to develop a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

I understand that seeking mental health care can be a significant step, and I strive to ensure that every patient feels comfortable, heard, and supported throughout their journey. My goal is not only to help manage symptoms, but also to help patients build the confidence, resilience, and tools needed for lasting emotional wellness.
