Psychiatrists in Austin, TX
Feeling truly heard can change everything. I have spent over a decade in psychiatry, beginning as a CNA at seventeen and growing into a board certified psychiatric nurse practitioner. My style is warm and collaborative. I look at the whole picture, listen without judgment, and build a plan with you rather than for you. Whether life has brought anxiety, low mood, attention challenges, or swings in energy, we will sort through your story, your goals, and your options together so that treatment feels clear, practical, and made for you.

Care for your mind should feel thoughtful, thorough, and truly heard. I am a psychiatric and family nurse practitioner who works with adults facing depression, anxiety, ADHD, and mood or personality-related challenges. With more than 20 years in healthcare, I take a holistic view of your health, looking at symptoms, stressors, coping skills, and support system. Patients often tell me I really listen and notice what is unsaid, from body language to small details, so we can understand what is happening and choose the next right step together.
