As someone in recovery myself, I understand how heavy addiction can feel. Sometimes we just need someone to sit in the pit with us while we gather the strength to climb out. What keeps me going are the goals that I set after I got out of my own pit. I built a life I love. When I'm not in my office, I'm probably out collecting comic book memorabilia, working on a project on my house, teaching my dogs about the importance of boundaries, or watching Jurassic Park. What keeps you going?

I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor with

over 10 years of experience helping

people work through life challenges and

the negative thought processes that keep

them stuck. A lot of my work is about

helping clients become emotionally

resilient, using mindfulness and other

practical tools from the theories that fit

each person best. If you're carrying

anxiety, unresolved trauma,

or strain in your closest relationships, you

don't have to sort it out on your own. I

work with teenagers, adults and seniors, including a

lot of men who didn't expect therapy to

be for them.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Weatherford, TX


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), who is trained in Play Therapy and Autplay Therapy, which is a specialized therapeutic approach for children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental differences, including autism, ADHD, sensory differences, social anxiety, learning differences, and other developmental or physical disabilities. It is neurodiversity-affirming, meaning it values the unique strengths of each child while addressing areas of challenge in a supportive and inclusive manner. AutPlay Therapy is designed so that parents are not just observers but active, trained “co‐therapists” who work alongside the child and the therapist to meet therapy goals at home twccllc.net. This collaborative approach ensures that the child’s progress is sustained beyond the therapy session, creating a “Co‐Regulation Loop” where parents and children regulate emotions and behaviors together.

With adults or couples, I take a holistic approach to counseling that looks at the mind, body, and spirit. I integrate spiritual practices into my counseling sessions by creating a safe and open space for clients to explore their beliefs and values. My aim is to assist you in overcoming life’s challenges and achieving your fullest potential by exploring deeper meaning and purpose in your life. I use a mix of different methods to tailor my approach to each person, creating a supportive and empathetic environment for growth and healing. My diverse experience helps me connect with people from all walks of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy horseback riding, spending time with my pups, serving at my church’s Youth Ministry, and staying active with CrossFit. These activities keep me balanced and fulfilled, and I bring that energy into my counseling practice.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Pilot Point, TX


I believe healing and growth happen best when people feel safe, accepted, and genuinely cared for. I love working with children, teens, and families, and I strive to create a warm, supportive space where clients can feel comfortable being themselves.

For children, I have advanced training in Child-Centered Play Therapy, which allows them to express feelings, work through challenges, and build confidence through the natural language of play. Often, children communicate much more through play than they can with words, and I enjoy helping them feel understood and supported in ways that fit their developmental needs.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Rockwall, TX


As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe meaningful change begins with transforming the way we think and behave. When we shift our internal patterns, we create space for healthier, more adaptive responses to life’s challenges. While we cannot change the past, we can work together to build new skills that help you navigate the present with clarity and approach the future with confidence.

I specialize in individual counseling for adults and adolescents, offering support for depression, anxiety, anger management, grief, emotional trauma, and adolescent development.

My goal is to help you build resilience, strengthen self‐awareness, and develop practical tools that support lasting, meaningful change.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

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.
