After 10+ years of caring for trauma and burn victims, I knew my calling was to help those impacted by mental illness and trauma. Many of the patients I cared for had underlying mental health challenges, ignored, unrecognized, and/or untreated. I was able to heal the physical wounds, but the mental wounds remained untreated. I decided that God had placed a new calling on my life, a mission to serve those impacted by mental health illness. To provide hope, healing, and wellness. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializing in the treatment of clients across the lifespan.

Need something different than medications and traditional therapy? We accept Tricare/insurance and offer the most advanced treatment for depression and anxiety available. TMS is a powerful yet non-invasive office procedure that uses magnetic fields to activate underactive depression circuits in the brain and inhibit overactive anxiety pathways. TMS is NOT shock therapy. It can be done as monotherapy or in addition to antidepressant medication. At Texas Hill Country TMS, over 90% of our patients with severe, treatment-resistant clinical depression and anxiety have experienced a significant clinical response with long-term outcomes.
