Hi, I'm TJ — a Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of A Better You Wellness, LLC. I work with couples, individuals, families, and teens (17+) across Texas, offering both in-person sessions in the Fort Worth area and teletherapy statewide.

My training is deeply relational. I graduated from North Central University with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I hold additional certifications as a Certified Trauma Professional, Master NLP Practitioner, and Hypnotherapist — training that shapes how I think about healing beyond the surface level. I specialize in relationship challenges including communication breakdowns, infidelity and trust repair, and premarital counseling, along with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, career stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.

What sets my approach apart is a philosophy of integration. I believe that meaningful, lasting healing rarely comes from one method alone. The experiences that shape us — especially the hard ones — leave imprints on the mind and body, and I honor both in my work. Clients often tell me they feel heard from the very first conversation, and that's something I take seriously.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, substance use, or painful experiences begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and everyday life. You may feel like you're constantly trying to stay one step ahead of stress while quietly wondering when things will finally get easier. You don't have to carry those challenges alone. I work alongside individuals and couples navigating substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and PTSD so they can rebuild confidence, strengthen relationships, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Whether you're seeking support for yourself or your relationship, I strive to provide a compassionate, supportive environment where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and empowered to move forward with hope.
