My Services

I don’t just offer appointments—I offer personalized solutions and lasting support to help you truly heal and thrive.

My Philosophy

I believe that mental health care should treat the whole person—mind, body, and spirit. True healing is not one-size-fits-all, which is why I use a compassionate and integrative approach that combines evidence-based medicine with holistic modalities. Together, we will create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your unique experiences, values, and goals.

Diagnoses and Conditions I Treat

I specialize in treating a wide range of mental health concerns, with particular expertise in:

  • Anxiety Disorders

  • Depression and Mood Disorders

  • ADHD (Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder)

  • PTSD (including generational trauma, abuse, or bullying)

  • Sports-related injuries/trauma

  • Stress and Burnout

  • Child & Adolescent Behavioral Challenges (Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Emotional Dysregulation)

  • Perinatal and Postpartum Mood Disorders

  • Performance Anxiety in Athletes, Enterpreneurs, and Professionals

  • Family Impact of Serious Mental Illness

Therapeutic Approaches

I offer a comprehensive array of treatment modalities to address your unique needs:

  • Medications can play a pivotal role in managing mental health conditions. I work with you to identify the best options at the lowest effective doses, minimizing side effects while maximizing benefit.

  • I believe meds and therapy are the gold standard of treatment and must go hand in hand as one without the other may not be as effective. I offer a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, helping resolve underlying issues, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies for long-term well-being. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or other concerns, therapy can provide clarity, insight, and healing. 

    I offer various therapeutic approaches all customized to meet your individual journey and goals. Together, we’ll create a space where you can feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.

    • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
      A structured, goal-oriented approach that helps you identify and modify unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. CBT is effective for treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, and more.

    • Interpersonal Therapy (IPT)
      A short-term therapy focused on improving relationships and social functioning by addressing interpersonal conflicts, transitions, and role expectations.

    • Psychodynamic Psychotherapy
      This insight-oriented therapy explores the subconscious mind, uncovering underlying patterns, emotions, and past experiences that influence current behaviors and relationships.

    • Supportive Therapy
      A practical and empathetic approach that focuses on reducing emotional distress, building coping skills, and improving self-esteem in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

    • Motivational Interviewing
      A collaborative technique that enhances motivation for change by exploring and resolving ambivalence, often used in addressing addiction or other behavior changes.

    • Family Therapy
      A systemic approach that helps families improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships to support individual and collective well-being.

    • Parent Management Training
      A program designed to empower parents with tools and strategies to address challenging child behaviors, improve discipline, and foster a positive parent-child relationship.

  • I incorporate spiritual guidance into therapy to foster healing and resilience. We will address emotional suffering in a compassionate and supportive environment where Christianity, your individual faith, religious beliefs or spiritual practices are respected. 

  • A hands-on approach to healing, OMT helps address structural imbalances in the body to improve pain, promote relaxation, and support emotional well-being.

  • Through mindfulness practices such as meditation, breathing exercises, and grounding techniques, I help you reduce stress, develop present-moment awareness, and enhance emotional regulation.

  • I provide guidance on nutrition, exercise, sleep, and stress management to optimize mental and physical health and promote sustainable well-being.

  • Comprehensive lab testing, including gut microbiome analysis, stress hormone testing, and genetic testing, uncovers root causes of symptoms and supports a personalized treatment approach.

  • I offer professional-grade supplements and herbal remedies to enhance brain health and overall functioning in a safe and effective manner.

  • I empower you with knowledge about your condition and treatment options to help you make informed decisions about your mental health care.

  • I collaborate with other healthcare providers to ensure a holistic and seamless approach to your care.

  • Support for students through accommodations, 504 Plans, and Individualized Education Plans (IEPs).

  • Connections to interventional options such as ECT, TMS, Ketamine, and medicinal cannabinoids.

The Unique Experience I Offer Before Your First Appointment

  • Before booking your first appointment, I provide a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation. This allows us to discuss your concerns, explore how I can help, and determine if we’re a good fit for working together. It’s an opportunity to ask questions and gain insight into the next steps in your care.

  • Once you’ve decided to move forward, you’ll receive access to my secure patient portal. This intuitive platform allows you to view and schedule appointments, complete intake paperwork, and communicate directly with me if you have any questions.

  • My intake forms are designed to gather detailed information about your medical, mental health, and personal history. By completing these forms in advance, I can thoroughly review your information before our first session, saving time and allowing us to focus on your story during the appointment.

  • If lab testing is relevant to your care, I can provide lab orders prior to your first appointment. Having these results ready allows us to explore potential contributing factors to your mental health and craft a more informed treatment plan.

  • Before our first session, I take the time to carefully review your intake forms, medical records, and any additional information you provide. This ensures I am fully prepared to meet you where you are and offer personalized, thoughtful care from the very start.

This process is designed to minimize stress, maximize efficiency, and set the foundation for a collaborative and comprehensive approach to your mental health care. My goal is for you to feel supported, understood, and empowered even before you step into your first appointment.

Appointment Types

I currently work with patients ages 5 to 65 and offer virtual appointments for individuals located in Texas, New York, Massachusetts, and California. For those seeking Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment (OMT), in-person sessions are available at my Texas office.

As a psychiatrist dedicated to providing high-quality, personalized, and integrative mental health care, I have chosen to operate as an out-of-network provider rather than working directly with insurance companies. This allows me to spend more time with each patient, offer longer and more in-depth sessions, and incorporate holistic approaches that go beyond the limitations of insurance-based care. By not being bound by insurance restrictions, I can focus entirely on you or your child’s unique needs, tailoring treatment plans without the constraints of arbitrary session limits or mandated medication-only approaches.

  • This free 15-minute phone consultation gives you the opportunity to get to know me and decide if we are a good fit before booking an appointment.

    Fee: $0

  • At Enlightened Mind Therapeutics, my intake process is designed to go beyond surface-level care. I take the time to truly understand your story—mind, body, and spirit—to create a treatment plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals.

    Before Your Appointment

    • Start with a free 15-minute phone consultation to ensure we’re a good fit.

    • Once scheduled, you’ll receive access to a secure patient portal to complete intake forms.

    • I’ll carefully review your history, concerns, and any prior records beforehand to maximize our time together. If necessary, lab tests may be ordered ahead of time to provide a more complete picture.

    During Your Appointment (90 Minutes)

    • We begin with you sharing your story in your own words—no rushing, no interruptions.

    • I’ll ask clarifying questions and explore your symptoms, medical background, lifestyle, and experiences to fully understand your mental health.

    • Together, we’ll review my findings, discuss potential diagnoses, and build a treatment plan that fits your life. This might include psychotherapy, medication, OMT, or integrative strategies like mindfulness and lifestyle coaching.

    After Your Appointment

    • You’ll leave with a clear, personalized plan and actionable next steps, such as exercises or tools to try at home.

    • Follow-up sessions are scheduled to track progress, adjust treatments as needed, and ensure you feel supported throughout your journey.

    Why My Process Stands Out

    • Comprehensive: I invest time to understand you, not just your symptoms.

    • Prepared: I review your information in advance, so every minute of your session is spent focusing on solutions.

    • Collaborative: We create your treatment plan together—you’ll never feel like a passive participant in your care.

    • Holistic: I consider your mental, physical, and emotional health to provide the most effective, personalized care possible.

    This intake process ensures you feel heard, supported, and confident about your path to wellness from day one.

    Fee: $545

  • At Enlightened Mind Therapeutics, I know that starting mental health care can feel overwhelming—for kids, teens, and parents alike. My intake process is designed to make you feel comfortable, heard, and involved from the very beginning. I take the time to get to know you, not just your symptoms, so we can create a plan that helps you feel better, stronger, and more like yourself.

    🌟 What to Expect

    Before Your Appointment:

    • A parent/guardian will schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.

    • You'll get a link to a secure patient portal where a parent/guardian will complete intake forms about your health, feelings, and what you’ve been experiencing.

    • I’ll review your information and might request lab work if needed, so we’re ready to dive in when we meet.

    During Your Appointment (120 Minutes):

    • We’ll start by talking about what’s been going on in your life—school, friends, family, and anything you want me to know. You’re the expert on yourself, and I’m here to listen.

    • During part of the appointment, your parent or guardian will join us to help me understand more about what’s going on and to support you as we create a plan to help you feel better.

    • For Parents: You’ll be included in part of the session to provide consent, share your observations, and collaborate on your child’s treatment plan. The amount of time we spend together will depend on your child’s age—parents of children under 12 will typically have more involvement to ensure we fully understand developmental and behavioral patterns. Your insights are invaluable in helping us build a supportive, family-centered approach to care. Please note: The intake cannot be completed without a parent or guardian present.

    • Together, we’ll come up with a personalized plan that might include therapy, lifestyle changes, or parent coaching, or medication if appropriate.

    After Your Appointment:

    • I’ll give you clear next steps, like small activities to try at home or ways to practice new skills.

    • We’ll schedule follow-up visits to check in on your progress and adjust the plan if needed.

    • If you ever have questions, you can reach me directly through the patient portal.

    My goal is to help you feel safe, supported, and confident as we work together toward a healthier, happier you. 💙

  • The Purpose of Follow-Up Appointments

    Follow-up appointments are an essential part of your mental health journey at Enlightened Mind Therapeutics. These sessions allow me to track your progress, make adjustments to your treatment plan, and ensure you're receiving the care and support you need to achieve lasting wellness.

    Why Follow-Up Appointments Matter:

    • Monitor Progress: I’ll check in on how you're feeling, what’s working, and what might need to change.

    • Adjust Treatment: Mental health isn't static—treatments may need to be adjusted based on how you respond to medications, therapy techniques, or lifestyle changes.

    • Provide Ongoing Support: These appointments offer a space to discuss challenges, celebrate successes, and develop new strategies for continued growth.

    • Deepen Therapeutic Work: For those engaging in psychotherapy, regular sessions provide time to explore patterns, build coping skills, and work through core challenges.

    • Reinforce Healthy Habits: We’ll continue to address lifestyle factors such as sleep, nutrition, and physical activity to support both mental and physical well-being.

    These appointments are a collaborative process where your voice matters. My goal is to help you feel supported and empowered every step of the way as you move toward a healthier, more balanced life.

  • Comprehensive sessions that can include psychotherapy, osteopathic manipulative treatment, lifestyle coaching, or other integrative modalities alongside medication management when needed, to track progress and refine the treatment plan.
