and adolescence through adulthood. It is also my belief that every individual is unique

with varying perspectives about life. From the initial interaction, I focus on providing an

environment that is safe, comfortable, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive. This

environment provides an opportunity to collaborate and establish a positive relationship

with my clients. I am trained in the use of medication management, brief

psychotherapy, and relaxation techniques to help individuals reach their desired goals. I

have experience in treating a range of psychiatric conditions including depression,

bipolar disorder, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma-related disorders, substance

addiction and schizophrenia spectrum disorders. My goal is to support and work

collaboratively with my clients as they explore all aspects of themselves while working

toward their treatment goals.

I am both board-certified as a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health

Nurse practitioner. I obtained my undergraduate degree in nursing as well as my

graduate degree 6 years later as a Family Nurse Practitioner at Southern University. I

went on to pursue my Psychiatric graduate training at the University of Texas Rio

Grande Valley 14 years later. I am also a war veteran currently serving in the Texas

Army National Guard as a commander and medical provider.

I have been fortunate to have gained experience in providing medical and psychiatric

services in a wide variety of settings including inpatient units, emergency departments,

correctional facilities, military, detox, residential, inpatient substance abuse, and skilled

nursing facilities.
