As a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluations and medication management. I specialize in adults/ college students struggling with mood instability, women’s mental health, including pregnancy and postpartum. As well as working with families navigating schizophrenia and or mood disorders. I believe healing begins when the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—is nurtured. My approach goes beyond medication alone, blending evidence-based psychiatric treatment with lifestyle and wellness strategies designed to restore balance and promote lasting emotional well-being.

Hello! I'm Sarah, and I'm a board-certified psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner, with additional certification in addiction medicine. I've been working in mental health for the past seven years, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I specialize in treating women's issues such as post-partum and perinatal mental health, menopause, and PMDD. My practice also serves women and girls experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, life changes, and much more.

Hi, I’m Christopher, a board‐certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a Doctor of Nursing Practice degree and a background in both healthcare and military leadership. My experience includes working in high‐intensity medical environments where I supported individuals facing significant stress, trauma, and life transitions. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, trauma‐related concerns, and high levels of stress. My goal is to provide care that is empowering, holistic, and supportive, helping clients build resilience and regain a sense of balance in their lives.

I’m a Doctor of Nursing Practice–trained Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with a career shaped by service, compassion, and a genuine love for helping people feel seen, supported, and capable of healing. Before becoming a PMHNP, I spent many years as a CNA and later earned my BSN from the University of the Incarnate Word in 2015 in San Antonio, TX. I worked bedside at University Hospital, transitioned to hospice in 2016, and later served in case management at UTHSCSA. In 2023, I began my DNP–PMHNP program, completing it while working full time at Clarity Child Guidance Center. On December 13th, 2025, I was officially granted the title of “Dr.”, became board certified as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner on February 9th, 2026, and finally obtained my APRN with the Texas Board of Nursing on March 12th, 2026!

My doctoral project focused on reducing seclusion rates for children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorder using evidence‐based, trauma‐informed interventions—an area close to my heart as a parent of a special‐needs child. I’m passionate about geriatric psychiatry and child & adolescent psychiatry, and I bring a calm, grounded, and collaborative style to treatment.

I also briefly served in the United States Air Force, an experience that strengthened my commitment to resilience, service, and advocacy. Today, I continue to advocate for women affected by domestic violence, helping them reclaim safety, confidence, and possibility.

On a personal note, I’m a mom of two boys, happily married for 11 years, and the proud owner of four dogs. Outside of work, you’ll usually find me drinking coffee, shopping for plants, collecting perfumes, baking, cooking, or spending time with family and friends. These parts of my life help me stay balanced, grounded, and connected—values I bring into every therapeutic relationship.

I help people who are tired of fighting with their own minds. Maybe anxiety follows you everywhere—that constant worry that won't let you rest. Maybe you can't focus at work no matter what you try, and you're forgetting things that matter. Maybe you're the person holding everything together for everyone else, but inside you're exhausted and running on empty. You've tried to push through. You've tried to "think positive." But your brain won't cooperate, and you're tired of struggling. Here's what I know: You don't need to fix yourself. You need tools that actually work. You need someone who gets it. You need to stop fighting.
