I work collaboratively with children, tweens, and teens, creating an environment that is fun and nurturing. I believe that the unique individual identity of each child is crucial and works to provide them with the best therapy that allows them to flourish. I use talk therapy, play therapy, and mindfulness in my approach, and I specialize in working with clients who are struggling with ADHD, anxiety, bullying, depression, grief, self-harm, stress, and family conflict.
Recognizing the need for growth and change can feel intimidating, but taking that first step toward therapy shows courage and a willingness to invest in yourself. I create a warm, supportive space where clients can safely explore past and present experiences. Together, we work to understand patterns, emotions, and challenges that may be holding you back. I view therapy as a collaborative journey where we move at your pace while building insight, self-acceptance, and meaningful change. My goal is to help you reconnect with your strengths and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with individuals struggling with substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, grief, relationship issues, identity exploration, and difficult life transitions. I also have experience working with adolescents and understand the unique emotional, relational, and developmental challenges that can come during those years.
I believe therapy works best when people feel genuinely safe, understood, and respected. My goal is to create a space where clients can show up honestly without fear of judgment. I know that starting therapy can feel uncomfortable or vulnerable, especially for people who are used to carrying things on their own, and I take seriously the trust it takes to open up to another person.
I am an LGBTQ-affirming clinician and believe deeply in creating a supportive and inclusive environment where clients can explore their experiences authentically. I approach therapy with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person’s individual story and lived experience.
Much of my work centers around helping people who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck, emotionally exhausted, or unsure how to move forward. Whether someone is navigating addiction, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or major life stressors, I aim to help them feel less alone while working toward meaningful and lasting change.
Above all, I believe the therapeutic relationship itself is one of the most important parts of the healing process. Research consistently shows that a strong connection between therapist and client is one of the strongest predictors of success in therapy. Because of that, I place a high value on building a relationship grounded in trust, honesty, collaboration, and authenticity.
Finding the right mental health provider can feel overwhelming, especially if you've tried therapy or medications in the past without getting the relief you were hoping for. My goal is to help you move beyond simply managing symptoms and toward feeling like yourself again.
I am a dual-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) and Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-C) with over 16 years of healthcare experience. I specialize in treating adults with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, insomnia, OCD, and treatment-resistant mood disorders. My advanced psychiatric training was completed through Monmouth University and Wilkes University, where I focused on Evidence-based psychiatric care.
I believe that effective treatment starts with understanding the whole person not just the diagnosis. Together, we'll explore the biological, psychological, and lifestyle factors contributing to your symptoms and develop a personalized treatment plan that fits your goals. My approach combines thoughtful medication management with practical therapeutic strategies that you can apply in everyday life.
For individuals whose depression has not improved after trying multiple antidepressants, I also evaluate and provide treatment options such as Spravato (esketamine) when clinically appropriate. My focus is always on finding the safest, most effective treatment based on your unique needs.
Patients often describe me as warm, approachable, honest, and solution focused. I strive to create a supportive, judgment-free environment where you feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your treatment decisions. Whether you're seeking help for the first time or looking for a new approach after previous treatments haven't worked, I'm committed to helping you build lasting emotional wellness and improve your quality of life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Supervisor. I obtained a Master’s degree in Counseling from the University of North Texas at Dallas in 2014. I am also happily married to my husband of 8 years and am a proud mother to a little boy.
I has experience working with individuals, families, groups, couples, and adolescents. My specialties include cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), depression, anxiety, relationships, and behavioral issues.
Hello! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience supporting clients of all ages. I use professional and personal knowledge and experience including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Self-Compassion, Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy. I care deeply about what I do and want you to leave feeling heard, understood, and supported. I love supporting women as they work through challenges, especially in the context of parenting. I also enjoy working with adults managing transitions, self-growth, anxiety, boundary setting, inner-critics, relationships.
My clients may find that they are struggling with trusting themselves or others in relationships, have difficulty feeling safe or confident in their own body, and/or some have past difficult/confusing/traumatic events that can make them feel stuck. I specialize in helping teens, adults, and families with Anxiety, Panic Disorder, OCD, Trauma, Eating Disorders, Depression, Adjustments, Life Stressors, and Grief and Loss.
Life has a way of presenting us with moments that feel overwhelming, isolating, or simply too heavy to carry alone. Whatever has brought you here today, know this: reaching out is one of the most powerful acts of self-care you can take. I'm a licensed therapist with over 20 years of experience helping adults reclaim their sense of peace, purpose, and connection.
You’re doing your best—but parenting can feel heavy. Maybe your child is having big emotions, struggling with anxiety, or acting out in ways that worry you. Maybe you’re exhausted, overwhelmed, and wondering if you’re doing enough. You're not alone—and you don’t have to figure it all out by yourself. I work with moms and children (ages 3–17) who are navigating the hard stuff—anxiety, trauma, life changes, or just the emotional weight of everyday life. Whether your child needs support, or you do (or both), I provide a safe, compassionate space where healing begins and hope grows

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Worth
Fort Worth offers a wide range of therapists across neighborhoods like Downtown, Near Southside, Northside, and surrounding areas, so narrowing your search starts with knowing what kind of support you want. You may be looking for care related to anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare therapists in Fort Worth, look for specialties, populations served, and therapy approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.
In a major metro area like Fort Worth, having many options can make the search more complex. Practical details can help you narrow the list quickly: whether a therapist is accepting new clients, whether they offer in-person or virtual sessions, and whether their appointment times fit your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in an office near work, school, or home, while others choose virtual therapy for more flexibility. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you understand their communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns similar to yours.
Therapy in Fort Worth can be expensive without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, view estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you are ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
