Exposure to generational trauma and the hope of breaking the cycle motivated my career choice in mental health. People oftentimes have limited control over what happens to them, but they have full control of how they respond. My goal is to empower individuals to respond in ways that reduce trauma, improve self-image, and allow them to be the best version of themselves.
I graduated from Angelo State University with an MSC in 2019. I specialize in Anxiety, Depression, and Life Transitions, using a holistic approach that incorporates person-centered, problem-focused, and relational modalities. My dedication to this field stems from a desire to create a supportive and nurturing environment where clients can explore their feelings and develop effective coping strategies. Through our work together, I strive to foster resilience and facilitate positive change in each individual’s life.

What is the difference between a Therapist and a Prescriber?
Therapy, often provided by psychologists, social workers, or counselors, involves talking through emotional and psychological challenges to gain insight and develop coping strategies. Whereas, psychiatry, typically led by medical doctors, focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of mental health issues using medication alongside therapy when necessary. While therapy emphasizes conversation and behavioral strategies, psychiatry integrates medication management to address biochemical imbalances in mental health conditions.

Do Headlight providers offer telehealth visits?
Absolutely, all our providers offer telehealth visits so that you can get care from the comfort of your own home.
Can I see both a Therapist and Prescriber?
Yes. Seeing both a Therapist and Prescriber is incredibly common and can lead to better results. Talk with your provider and discuss if combining Therapy and Medication Management makes sense for you.
What can I expect in my first appointment?
During your first session you will meet with a licensed professional to discuss your medical history, current feelings and relevant life factors. From there, you and your provider will work together to create a personalized treatment plan. If you don’t feel like your provider is a good fit, please let your provider know. They can help transfer you to a new provider that might be a better fit for you.
