I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a career shaped by service, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent many years as a CNA and later earned my BSN from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. I worked bedside at University Hospital, transitioned to hospice in 2016, and later served in case management at UTHSCSA. In 2023, I began my DNP–PMHNP program, completing it while working full time at Clarity Child Guidance Center. On December 13th, 2025, I was officially granted the title of “Dr.”, became board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on February 9th, 2026, and finally obtained my APRN with the Texas Board of Nursing on March 12th, 2026!

My doctoral project focused on reducing seclusion rates for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder using evidence‐based, trauma‐informed interventions—an area close to my heart as a parent of a special‐needs child. I’m passionate about geriatric psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, and I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative style to treatment.

I also briefly served in the United States Air Force, an experience that strengthened my commitment to resilience, service, and advocacy. Today, I continue to advocate for women affected by domestic violence, helping them reclaim safety, confidence, and possibility.

On a personal note, I’m a mom of two boys, happily married for 11 years, and the proud owner of four dogs. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me drinking coffee, shopping for plants, collecting perfumes, baking, cooking, or spending time with family and friends. These parts of my life help me stay balanced, grounded, and connected—values I bring into every therapeutic relationship.

Before I became a nurse practitioner, I spent 5 years working as an RN in inpatient psychiatry. 4 years of that psych experience, I worked at John Peter Smith hospital. That experience taught me how valuable it is to listen and work together with others.

I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner that is interested in providing quality, compassionate, and comprehensive mental health care services through psychotherapy and psychopharmacology. I come from a strong nursing background, with over 10 years of experience working with clients experiencing changes to their mental and physical health in both outpatient and inpatient settings. My educational background includes a Master of Science from the University of Texas Health Science Center of Houston, Cizik School of Nursing and a Bachelor of Science in nursing from Texas Tech University Health Science Center.

I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with more than two decades of experience in emergency medicine, nursing, education, and behavioral health. My passion for caring for veterans, first responders, and their families has been shaped by both my professional experience and my life as the wife of a United States Marine Corps veteran and career firefighter.

My journey in healthcare began in 2003 as a youth member of Emergency Medical Services. I went on to serve as both a volunteer and paid EMT and eventually became Sergeant of the Montclair Ambulance Unit, where I developed a Community Response and Education Program focused on outreach, wellness, and resilience.

I earned my BS in Criminal Justice with a minor in Juvenile Corrections and Forensics, followed by my BSN from Caldwell College, MSN in Nursing Education from the University of Phoenix, and PMHNP degree from Purdue University. Throughout my nursing career, I have worked in emergency departments, Level I Shock Trauma Centers, corrections, flight nursing, case management, mobile intensive care, and during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Education has remained an important part of my career. I have taught nursing students in psychiatric nursing, pediatrics, obstetrics, epidemiology, and critical care and have presented nationally on PTSD prevention and resilience among first responders.

Today, I serve as a PMHNP and Director of Family Wellness and Resilience for Heroes Anchor. I specialize in compassionate, trauma-informed care for veterans, first responders, and their families, while also working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation, and major life transitions.

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood as a whole person—not simply as a diagnosis.
