Waitlist for new clients
The past few years have been unprecedented. People who have never sought mental health services before are finding themselves in need of emotional support and therapeutic intervention. People are dealing with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts as well as a multitude of life stressors. I have worked in mental health services for the past eight years and saw firsthand how the pressures of today are causing individuals and families to find themselves at odds with their own world view. Some want answers on how to get to a new form of normalcy. It is clear that the world has changed and what worked before, may not work now.

From the outside, you look like you're handling it. You show up, perform, meet expectations, maybe even exceed them. But underneath, something feels empty or deflated, like you're running on exhaustion that rest doesn't touch, chasing a bar that keeps moving, wondering why success doesn't feel like enough. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone, and you're not broken. You're likely carrying high-functioning burnout, and it often hides in plain sight precisely because you're so good at carrying it.

I have experience working with active duty military members and their families, individuals suffering from abuse and trauma, as well as the wide range of topics surrounding close relationships (lack of intimacy and communication, infidelity).
Hello! First off, congratulations to you for taking the initial and difficult step in seeking the change that you feel is necessary to defeat the issue(s) that you may be battling with. I aim to bring out the great things that are already inside of you and look to do that by actively listening to you, encouraging you and highlighting your strengths, empowering you, and allowing you to practice self-advocacy. It is easy to focus on the wrong but I aim to focus more on the right. I look to develop emotional well-being while also creating an environment to facilitate overall life balance.

As humans, we are familiar with how unpredictable and challenging life can be. Facing ourselves and uncertainty can feel scary, yet being stuck can be just as painful. You may be tired of repeating patterns, overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself and others, unsure where to begin, or judging your emotions rather than understanding them. I help clients identify and process their emotions so they can experience change and relief in a space that is safe, authentic, supportive, and nonjudgmental. While I work with many concerns, I specialize in depression, anxiety, grief, self identity, life transitions, stress, and self esteem.

Do you appear to be holding everything together on the outside, yet internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you. Past experiences, unresolved trauma, or ongoing stress may be impacting your sense of self, your relationships, or your ability to feel grounded and confident. You may be seeking clarity, emotional relief, and a deeper sense of connection with yourself, while wanting support that feels safe, respectful, and meaningful.

I am a military veteran and a first-generation college graduate.
To cultivate healthy relationships, we first need to develop a healthy mindset. Have you ever felt that there is more to life than what you are currently experiencing?

As Maya Angelou said, "My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive, and to do so with passion, compassion, humor, and style."

Fort Worth, TX 76164
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S) who believes in internal power and strength. It may feel like internal power and strength is non-existent because there are times when situations and circumstances seem to get the best of life. A way of escape may be to indulge in unhealthy habits (such as substances) that make things worse. This is where I can be of assistance because I work with individuals struggling with addictions (ages 18-65). If you need help in this area, therapy can be scary but courageous and a necessary step for you.

Does life feel like a chaotic, overwhelming cycle with no end in sight? Whether you are navigating a major life transition, struggling with relationship patterns, or simply feeling like the world doesn't "get" you, I’m glad you’re here. You don’t have to navigate this in isolation.

” I work with men navigating life direction, veterans and individuals processing trauma or PTSD, athletes dealing with performance anxiety, and women recovering from domestic violence.
Clients often describe me as calm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I don’t force conversation or fill space just to fill it. My approach is rooted in existential and humanistic therapy, helping you better understand yourself, process what you’ve been through, and build confidence, clarity, and resilience.

I believe that every person’s life could be a novel. Everyone is born with a set of unique experiences, gifting and personality. Therapy should utilize and capitalize on these unique qualities of each individual. Everyone experiences their own unique set of challenges and triumphs in life. However, sometimes circumstances are more than someone can deal with alone. Friends certainly do help, but certain things should be handled with a caring professional who will work to understand each person’s situation. A good therapist will help to uncover, provide feedback, and talk with each individual about solutions to life’s challenges.

Veterans Therapists
Why is mental health important for veterans and the military?
Veterans are more likely to face mental health challenges than the general public, and such mental health challenges can make it difficult for them to navigate day-to-day life. Improved mental health can result in better interpersonal relationships, lower levels of stress, and decreased dependence on substances, such as drugs or alcohol, for many veterans. Addressing common mental health conditions can also help facilitate recovery from physical health challenges that are faced by many veterans, such as chronic pain, physical injury, or poor sleeping patterns. Therapists trained in working with veterans can help address these concerns and help improve veteran mental health.
How can veterans get access to mental health support?
There are many resources for veterans to get mental health support, including through the VA or through their primary care doctor. Many service personnel are eligible for free or reduced-cost mental health counseling through the VA, depending on their service history and current income. Veterans can also utilize online directories, such as Psychology Today, or nonprofit organization resources like the Wounded Warrior Project, to find a therapist or other healthcare professional that specializes in their specific mental health needs. Veterans may also benefit from community-based groups that facilitate social connection and/or address specific concerns, such as Alcoholics Anonymous.
What type of therapy is best for veterans?
Veterans may benefit from multiple types of therapy, depending on what mental health challenges they are facing. Veterans seeking therapy for anxiety or depression may benefit from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which encourage clients to understand how their thought patterns influence their behavior. Veterans with PTSD may seek other more specialized forms of therapy to treat trauma symptoms, such as EMDR or exposure therapy. Many veterans and military personnel may also benefit from family or couples counseling to address the stress and adjustment challenges that can be associated with military life.
Can therapy for veterans help with trauma and PTSD?
Therapy can be highly effective in helping veterans with trauma and PTSD. Therapists specializing in veteran mental health often have extensive training and experience helping veterans navigate symptoms of trauma and can teach clients coping techniques to handle common symptoms associated with trauma and PTSD. Some therapists may use talk therapy as their primary approach, while others utilize more structured therapy modalities in sessions, such as EMDR. Veterans can try multiple therapy modalities to find the best fit for them. Therapists can also help make referrals or connect clients with available resources, such as VA benefits, to help address other life concerns.
