At Balanced MHW, we believe that true wellness is a holistic approach that encompasses the mind, body, and spirit. We strive to empower our patients to take control of their health and well-being to achieve a more Balanced life including mental health. Our practitioner is highly trained and experienced in treating mental health conditions such as Major Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, Bipolar, Schizophrenia and other mood disorders. We offer a variety of Telehealth wellness programs for adolescents ages 14 to 18. As well as adults up to the age of 80. One of the programs offered is prescription medication management for these age groups. Other services include counseling and additional resources needed to achieve optimal care.

I have been caring for patients for over 20 years. I started my career as a nurse at a level 1 trauma hospital in Houston. After finishing graduate school at the University of Texas Medical Center with a master's degree in both Nursing and Public Health, I went on to care for patients in a wide variety of setting. I have cared for patients in an outpatient setting in family practice clinics, children in a community setting and in a specialty clinic for children infected with HIV in-utero. My psychiatric experience began in a community clinic and grew into my passion. I returned to school getting my education from the University of Cincinnati allowing me to become certified as Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. Now am pursuing my passion of helping patients achieve optimal wellness through improved mental health.
On a personal note, I have 2 children (that stand upright) and a fur-baby. These are all the loves of my life. I enjoy spending time with my kiddo's, walking my fur-baby and being out in nature. And I very much enjoy helping my patients reach their full mental health and well-being so they can have lasting Balance in their life.
