Sara is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with 13 years of healthcare experience. Since earning her degree from the University of Texas at Austin in 2017, she has been committed to providing holistic, evidence-based mental health care.

She combines brief psychotherapy with medication management, emphasizing that behavior, habits, lifestyle, relationships, and physical health are just as important as medications. She believes in progress over perfection and ensures patients understand the risks and benefits of treatment, empowering them to make informed decisions.

Sara has experience treating depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorder, insomnia, substance use disorders, trauma, OCD, postpartum psychiatric disorders, and thought disorders. She understands the barriers to mental wellness, including limited access to healthcare, work-life balance, and healthy living resources, and strives to offer compassionate, patient-centered care.

Her background includes working as a registered nurse at Austin State Hospital and Seton Shoal Creek Hospital, as well as a research coordinator in neurology. As a nurse practitioner, she has worked in community treatment teams, federally qualified health centers, and skilled nursing facilities.

Sara’s goal is to help patients gain the tools and support they need for lasting mental wellness.
