I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who works with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms, mood disorders, OCD, and substance use concerns. My background includes structured treatment settings supporting recovery, stabilization, and long-term mental health management.
I provide warm, practical, and judgment-free care where clients feel heard and supported. Many people come to treatment feeling overwhelmed or unsure where to begin, and my goal is to simplify the process and provide clear direction forward.
I focus on thoughtful medication management and practical strategies that support lasting stability and meaningful progress.
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.
Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.
As a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience in hospital-based care, trauma work, and cross-cultural mental health, my practice is guided by the belief that healing starts with safety, clarity, and being truly understood. I offer a steady, compassionate presence and a culturally attuned perspective, respecting both the science of the mind and your personal narrative. I am dedicated to providing care that is thoughtful, grounded, and respectful of your entire experience.
I am a board-certified psychiatrist with 9 years of experience in adult, child, and adolescent psychiatry. My practice is grounded in patient-centered, evidence-based care for a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, sleep disorders, and substance use disorders. I offer comprehensive psychiatric evaluations, individualized treatment planning, medication management, and ongoing follow-up care.
Life can feel overwhelming when stress, difficult experiences, relationship challenges, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to function the way you want to. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, ADHD, family conflict, parenting concerns, or the impact of past experiences, you don't have to face it alone. I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are looking for support, healing, and practical tools to create meaningful change. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling exhausted, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward after years of trying to manage everything on their own. My goal is to provide a supportive, affirming environment where you feel understood and empowered. Together, we'll identify what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and work toward healthier relationships, improved coping skills, and a more balanced life.

Hi, I’m Stephen. I work with people who feel overwhelmed, pulled in too many directions, or stuck in cycles of anxiety and depression. Many of my clients are juggling work, relationships, and health while struggling to be kind to themselves. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, regain balance, and reconnect with what matters most.
I believe you deserve support that meets you with compassion and respect. Seeking therapy can feel intimidating, but it’s also a powerful step toward healing and growth. My goal is to help you feel supported as you work through the habits, patterns, and stressors that have been holding you back.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Fort Worth
Finding addiction therapists in Fort Worth starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can address alcohol use, drug use, nicotine use, gambling, sexual addiction, and related concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship stress, or trauma. Look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to work on. Some therapists use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction approaches. Some people may also work with a psychiatrist or other prescriber as part of their care team.
Fort Worth has many therapists, which can make it harder to narrow your search across neighborhoods, schedules, and appointment formats. In-person care may work well if you prefer an office setting near home, work, or school. Virtual appointments can expand your options if you need more flexibility or want to consider therapists beyond a close commute. As you compare therapists, look at availability, whether they offer a free phone consultation, and how they describe their approach. Therapist bios can help you see whether someone has experience with recovery support, relapse prevention, harm reduction, or non-judgmental care.
Therapy in Fort Worth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, filter by specialty and availability, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare addiction therapists in Fort Worth, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
