Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Fort Worth, TX

Healing begins with connection and acceptance. The things that happen to us may shape us, but they do not define who we are. My goal is to help you understand how your big and small traumas have impacted your choices to this point, and how to move forward into a healthier life. Many clients seek me out because they have experienced significant trauma that is impacting their daily lives. Others are experiencing anxiety, grief, spiritual issues, chronic illness, or life transitions. For couples and families, I seek to help them identify and alter the patterns in their relationships that are hindering connection and healing.

I believe that our lives are like stories. Each story contains conflict, factors that demand a response from the characters. Maybe your conflict is anxiety. You want to feel at home in your body but fear gets in the way. Maybe your conflict is between you and your child. You want a close relationship but behavioral issues dominate. Or perhaps your story is one of trauma, loss, or sadness that overwhelms your capacity to move forward. I am here to honor your story and to help you connect with what you find most meaningful in life. Together we work to find practical solutions that emotionally resonate with who you want to be.

Have you felt stuck, stagnant, or just not where you want to be? Do you feel sad for reasons you don’t understand?

Do you often find yourself taking substances in order to just deal with the day-to-day? If you said "yes" to any of those questions then I want you to know it’s okay to have felt that way. It’s okay to not feel great about things. But you’re here, and you’re looking. And that is where your journey will begin.

I provide a safe space for talking about what affects you most deeply in your love, work, and creative life.
