Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Forney, TX

Clients should know that I bring both professional expertise and genuine compassion to every session. I specialize in working with neurodiverse individuals, people managing anxiety or depression, and those navigating major life transitions. My approach is client-centered and collaborative, meaning I value your voice in the process and tailor our work together to your unique goals.

I believe in creating a safe, supportive space where you can be fully yourself without judgment. My role is to listen, guide, and equip you with tools that promote resilience, self-awareness, and growth. I also understand the importance of balancing mental health with real-life challenges like school, work, and relationships, and I integrate practical strategies to help you thrive in each area.

Most importantly, I want clients to know that they are not alone. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on both healing and building the confidence to move forward.

Outside of my work as a therapist, I enjoy spending time outdoors, riding my horses, and being with my family. These activities help me stay grounded and connected to what matters most in life. I value balance, authenticity, and meaningful relationships, and I bring those same values into my work with clients. I strive to create a welcoming, supportive environment where clients feel comfortable being themselves and working toward their goals.

You didn't come here because everything is fine. You came because something has become too heavy to carry alone — anxiety that won't switch off, panic that arrives without warning, a low mood that's drained the color out of everything, or trauma you've been holding far longer than anyone should have to. For many of the people I work with, a chronic health condition sits underneath it all, adding exhaustion and grief to days that were already hard.

I'm Amber, a Licensed Professional Counselor, and I work with adults who look capable on the outside while quietly white-knuckling their way through the week. Together we slow things down, name what's actually happening, and build real, evidence-based tools you can use between sessions — not just talk about in them. You deserve a space grounded in genuine care, honesty, and support that actually moves the needle on how you feel.

What truly sets me apart is my calm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental approach. I believe in meeting every individual exactly where they are, creating a safe and affirming space for open, honest communication. Together, we’ll build a collaborative relationship where goals, preferences, and values guide every step of your care. I am committed to providing stigma-free care; including those navigating challenges related to neurodivergence, substance use, trauma, identity or difficult past experiences. Everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and respected without fear of shame or judgment.

It can be exhausting when the thoughts & physical sensations are loud. I help clients slow things down & find the practices that work best for you & your life. If all you know is that you want things to be different, I can help you find your path to get there.

Healing begins the moment you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. My goal is to meet you exactly where you are and walk alongside you as an active partner in your mental health journey.

Outside of psychiatry, I am an avid traveler and a passionate gardener. Tending to my roses daily is my favorite way to practice mindfulness and decompress, ensuring I return to my patients with a refreshed mind and renewed energy.
