I’m a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, and Nurse Educator with more than 22 years of experience in nursing—including end-of-life care, wellness, and mental health.

My approach is holistic and person-centered. I believe healing happens when we care for the body, mind, and soul together. Whether that includes faith-based principles, mindfulness, or evidence-based clinical care, I meet each client where they are and support their unique path to healing.

While my practice is Christ-centered in philosophy, it is open and inclusive to people of all backgrounds and beliefs. My focus is on helping each individual find peace, clarity, and wholeness by addressing the deeper roots of emotional and physical distress.

I see my role as a partner in your journey—helping you reconnect with yourself, understand your needs, and move toward a healthier, more balanced life from the inside out.

Hi, I'm TJ — a Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of A Better You Wellness, LLC. I work with couples, individuals, families, and teens (17+) across Texas, offering both in-person sessions in the Fort Worth area and teletherapy statewide.

My training is deeply relational. I graduated from North Central University with a degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, and I hold additional certifications as a Certified Trauma Professional, Master NLP Practitioner, and Hypnotherapist — training that shapes how I think about healing beyond the surface level. I specialize in relationship challenges including communication breakdowns, infidelity and trust repair, and premarital counseling, along with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, career stress, life transitions, and self-esteem.

What sets my approach apart is a philosophy of integration. I believe that meaningful, lasting healing rarely comes from one method alone. The experiences that shape us — especially the hard ones — leave imprints on the mind and body, and I honor both in my work. Clients often tell me they feel heard from the very first conversation, and that's something I take seriously.

My approach centers on comprehensive psychiatric assessment, careful medication management, and expert crisis intervention. I’m passionate about building genuine therapeutic relationships, collaborating with other providers, and promoting evidence-based, patient-centered mental health care.
