Marriage Counseling Therapists in Fort Worth, TX

Our mission is to help individuals, families, and groups explore the issues keeping them from a satisfying and fulfilling life. FWCAI's clinically trained therapists offer a variety of therapeutic approaches, seeking the best solution for each client. We offer an integrated approach to counseling, using a biblical worldview and our skills and experience to offer counseling from a Christian perspective, although we also use traditional and cutting edge therapeutic approaches and integrate them into our practice where helpful. Not every client shares our worldview, and this integrated approach allows us to serve clients not seeking distinctly Christian counseling.

Welcome Fort Worth! Now accepting New Clients (Evening & Weekend Appointments Available). I am excited to introduce myself as your therapist. If you are feeling hopeless and ready to make a change, you have already taken the first courageous step towards improving your mental health. I understand that finding the right therapist can be a daunting task, but it is crucial to find someone who truly understands you and who you feel comfortable talking to.

People in our society are struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, financial issues, and troubled relationships. We get stuck in negative thoughts, negative emotions, and negative behaviors that create difficult and sometimes catastrophic consequences. We need help overcoming these negative situations so that we can feel better about who we are and where we are going in life.

I only see clients via telehealth. Do you have recurring, uncontrollable intrusive thoughts that are disruptive to your daily life or that scare you or make you uncomfortable? Do you have worries that you can't control? Do you feel compelled to engage in repetitive behaviors/rituals to keep something bad from happening? I can help you work through these symptoms and get back to feeling like yourself again.

Working with us you'll get results. Because we believe you're best served by a clinician who's passionate about not only their work, but who they work with as well. That's why we started Lifebulb - We're committed to building an organization that truly allows therapists to get back to enjoying their work, so you, our client, can receive the highest quality therapy services, whether in person at one of our locations or online through telehealth. We hire only highly trained and educated, licensed clinicians dedicated to the therapy process. We're confident we can help you achieve your therapy goals.

On paper, it seems that you have it altogether. Inside, you feel overwhelmed, stuck, ashamed, and afraid. Each day presents new challenges for accomplishing tasks you used to perform with ease. When you picture your future, you feel terrified and uncertain. You want to get back to enjoying life, but your efforts go unappreciated. You doubt yourself and wonder if you're the problem in relationships. You want a therapist who understands how to help you move forward with confidence. I am your person. I will help you become the CEO of your own life by trusting yourself again and changing repeated patterns that don't serve you.

My ideal client seeks self-exploration & understanding, facing issues like anxiety, depression, or relationship difficulties. They need a supportive space for personal growth, aiming to gain insight, develop coping strategies, improve communication, & foster healthy relationships. They aspire to enhance mental well-being, achieve a better life quality, & unlock their full potential.

Here you are. Things may not be bad, but they aren’t really good either. It’s amazing how much pain, unhappiness, emptiness and isolation we are willing to endure before we do anything. Perhaps you have tried everything you can imagine and nothing worked. You may be frightened that things will never be good again. The good news is our body, mind and spirit are hard-wired for healing. Sometimes, you may just need a little help. Especially, when others have worked hard to tear you down.

Experiencing hurdles in life such as challenging relationships, family life issues and concerns about the direction of your career are normal, but can leave you feeling anxious, depressed, frustrated or angry. So many of our problems come down to not having enough insight into how our minds work; what we want, what we fear, why we act the way we do, and why we are overwhelmed by certain feelings. I believe that every person who seeks counseling has their own answers to their unique situations and my job is to facilitate finding those answers.

I see families, couples, children, adolescents, and adults. I offer a safe and empathetic environment where clients can address their difficulties and begin the process of healing. As a family therapist I navigate conversations in a way that catalyzes the strengths, wisdom, and support of the family system. I help my clients work through challenging times, identify aspects of their lives that they would like to change, set personal goals, and work toward desired outcomes.

Our Mission is that lasting change can happen by providing: Support on life’s journey, an Opportunity to heal, and Sifting of values during decisions (S.O.S). Our core values are: Healing – Providing counseling to help resolve issues impacting your life and the lives of your family members Empowering - Giving you tools and resources to build healthy relationships on a firm foundation Connecting – Strengthening relationships for children, adults, couples, and families with God and each other

I have a heart for people who are hurting because I have been there. I have been in the darkest, most awful, lonely places this life has to offer, but I somehow made it out. My hope is to help you find a way out too. I won’t pretend to know about everything you have experienced, but I will absolutely provide you with a non-judgmental space to share those experiences. I want to understand you and to let you know that sometimes the broken places in each of us are the very parts that can become the most beautiful. I hope you will let me climb down into that pit with you, into all the not so great places, so we can find a way out.

I am committed to supporting individuals in their journey toward emotional well-being and personal growth, as well as improving their relationships and connections, whether they involve individuals, couples, or families. I support clients as they navigate stress, anxiety management, life transitions, relationship conflicts, and healing from past or generational trauma. I see therapy as a partnership where your insights and goals lead our work. I believe in a collaborative approach that places your perspective at the heart of our sessions, ensuring that the solutions we develop are both effective and personally meaningful to you.

It is an honor to work alongside my clients. I have a passion for improving relationships – with individuals, couples, and families. We are created for connection and when we are stuck in cycles of disconnect – it negatively impacts our quality of life. Our relationships with ourselves and our loved ones are worth the work and you don’t have to figure this out on your own. You are already on the right path by seeking support.

I work with individuals who are exploring the complexities of their identity, especially within the LGBTQ+ community, or who are navigating significant life transitions. Whether you're a teen, young adult, or adult striving to better understand yourself, manage neurodivergence, or heal from trauma, I'm here to provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space. Together, we can explore these challenges and work toward your personal growth and well-being.

Are you stuck in a rut and trying to get out of it? Depression, anxiety, maladaptive coping mechanisms, relational problems, social problems, work problems, and other sorts of problems can take a big toll on your life. It doesn’t have to continue that way. You are here because you are ready for change. Change can start with one step towards getting the process started.

My ideal client is anyone who wants to feel better. My clients may struggle with depression, anxiety, chronic stress, or unresolved trauma. My clients come into my office prepared and ready to access new tools to help soothe their nervous system, heal from past wounds, and create more meaningful relationships.
