Hello! I am a busy mom of two who always tries to find time to enjoy a psychological thriller or documentary. I have always had a passion to help others. I worked in the mental health sector for many years before returning to school for nursing. My

Mental health isn’t just about what’s going on in your mind—it’s about how your body, emotions, and daily life all connect. Maybe you’re feeling burnt out, stuck in anxious thought patterns, or struggling to find balance in the chaos of life. You deserve care that sees the full picture—because real healing happens when we treat the whole person, not just the symptoms.

A Nurse Practitioner Who Puts Mental Wellness First
I’m Whitney, a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a passion for holistic mental health care. I believe that mental health should be prioritized just as much as physical health, and my goal is to provide compassionate, evidence-based support that helps clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My journey into mental health started years ago when I worked in the field before deciding to return to school for nursing. I knew that becoming a mental health-focused nurse practitioner would allow me to help people in a deeper, more meaningful way.

I earned my bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Sociology from Stephen F. Austin State University before pursuing my Bachelor’s in Nursing from Grand Canyon University in Phoenix, AZ. I later completed my Master’s at the University of Texas at Arlington, combining my background in mental health with my medical training to take a whole-person approach to care.

An Approach That Feels Real, Not Clinical
I know that mental health care can sometimes feel intimidating, especially if you've felt dismissed or misunderstood in the past. That’s why I make it a priority to create a space where people feel safe, comfortable, and truly listened to.

My work focuses on:

- Helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, and emotional stress
- Providing care that integrates mental, physical, and emotional well-being
- Educating and empowering clients to take control of their mental health
- Reducing the stigma around mental health care through awareness and engagement

My professional dream is to be a leader in mental health within my community, making care more accessible, educating others, and helping people feel less alone in their struggles.

Life Outside the Office
When I’m not working, you can find me spending time outdoors with my family, discovering new coffee shops, or unwinding with a psychological thriller or documentary. I believe that just like I help my clients find balance, I have to do the same for myself—because mental wellness is an ongoing journey, not a destination.

Let’s Prioritize Your Mental Wellness
You deserve support that goes beyond just a diagnosis—care that truly considers your full experience. Whether you’re seeking clarity, relief, or just someone who will listen without judgment, I’m here to help.
