Feeling overwhelmed, anxious, unfocused, or mentally exhausted?
You're not alone. I specialize in helping adults manage ADHD, anxiety, OCD, depression, and mood disorders through personalized, evidence-based psychiatric care.
As a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC), I work with adults who struggle with difficulty focusing, racing thoughts, executive dysfunction, persistent worry, emotional overwhelm, and mood instability. Many of my patients are busy professionals, college students, healthcare workers, and adults seeking answers after years of feeling misunderstood.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, and older adults through life’s most challenging transitions. My background spans mental health therapy, crisis intervention, trauma recovery, child welfare, and geriatric care, which allows me to work with clients from a holistic, compassionate, and well-rounded perspective.
I use a strength-based, trauma-informed, and person-centered approach, meeting each client where they are and honoring their unique experiences. My clinical work integrates evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, Motivational Interviewing, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to set meaningful goals, build coping skills, and create sustainable change.
I have experience helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, emotional regulation, self-esteem, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I also bring a strong background in crisis support and safety planning, ensuring clients feel supported, grounded, and safe throughout the therapeutic process.
Above all, I strive to provide a warm, non-judgmental, and culturally responsive space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and paced to your needs, with a focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can openly process your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and life experiences without feeling rushed or criticized. I understand that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I approach each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect for their unique story and lived experience.
My style is warm, relational, and conversational while still grounded in evidence-based practices. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand emotional patterns, increase self-awareness, strengthen communication, and develop practical tools they can use outside of sessions. I value creating a therapeutic relationship that feels authentic and empowering, where clients can feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and moving at a pace that feels manageable for them.
I work with individuals navigating stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that may leave them feeling stuck or disconnected from themselves. Together, we focus on creating meaningful and sustainable change while also making space for reflection, healing, and personal growth.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fort Worth, TX
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fort Worth starts with identity-affirming care. A strong fit may include experience with LGBTQIA+ identity, gender identity, coming out, relationship concerns, family dynamics, discrimination, anxiety, or depression. As you compare therapists, look for clear signals in their profiles, such as affirmative therapy, WPATH training, gender-diverse experience, or direct experience supporting LGBTQIA+ people. Finding an affirming therapist matters beyond clinical training — it can help you choose someone whose background matches the care you want.
Fort Worth has many therapists to compare across nearby neighborhoods and the broader Dallas-Fort Worth area, which can make it harder to narrow your search. Virtual therapy can also expand access to LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists, especially when local appointment times, commute, or office location limit your options. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist offers a free phone consultation, and whether their bio names LGBTQIA+ populations directly. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s approach, communication style, and experience with concerns that matter to you.
Therapy in Fort Worth can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before starting care. Headway helps you search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, verify insurance, and see your estimated cost before you book. From there, you can compare LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists in Fort Worth and book directly when you’re ready.
