HEALING YOU CAN’T GET WRONG
Trauma Therapy for Adults in Fort Worth and Across Texas
I offer trauma therapy for adults throughout Texas, with in-person sessions in Fort Worth and virtual sessions statewide.
My work is especially supportive for people who are neurodivergent, queer, or simply human and feeling overwhelmed by emotions, memories, or expectations.

A note for you
You are not too much.
No matter what anyone has said or how anyone has treated you:
YOU MATTER
Your needs matter.
Your feelings matter.
Your experiences matter.
The fact that you're still here says a lot about the part of you that wants to believe it.
My approach starts by believing you matter
—even if you can't yet.
Together, we'll gently build steadiness at your pace, and in ways that feel comfortable for you.
When everything feels too much
HI, I'M DEVAN (THEY/THEM).
If your thoughts, feelings, and memories cause you to spiral
—and today feels impossible—
You're not broken. It makes sense you feel that way. You've been doing a lot to survive.
Maybe you've spent years performing to meet everyone's expectations, trying to earn love and acceptance.
Maybe people have treated you as "too much," "too loud," or "too sensitive."
Maybe you have never felt safe enough to be your real self.
That's why we slow way down here.
We make gentle space so you can breathe.
We'll try tiny, do-able things that help you feel steadier.
So what matters to you
(not the intensity of thoughts and feelings)
gets to lead.
I'll offer options, you set the pace,
and we listen to the parts that push back.
Between sessions, if a tiny practice helps, great.
If it doesn't, no judgment.
That's just information we'll use to adjust the plan
so it fits your needs.
If you're wanting care that protects your choice and pace, I'd love to meet you.
When trying hasn't helped
Content note: mentions self-harm and substance use.
Maybe you're exhausted by the enormity of what you're carrying and everything you've tried hasn't helped.
You've tried the usual things:
years of therapy
books
podcasts
You've also done what you needed to get through:
self-harm
substance use
sex for connection
avoiding reminders
blow-ups or shutdowns
Or maybe it's none of that and instead you went quiet and disappeared inside.
No matter what:
You’re not broken.
You adapted.
and
You're still here.
There is another way—one that honors who you are and centers what feels safe.
We'll start small and build steadiness that fits your life.

IN PRACTICE
In session
your pace, always.
We pause, slow, or stop anytime—no explanation required
You always know the whys and whats next in our plans
First focus is developing daily steadiness through use of parts work, DBT skills, values identification, and practical tools
When you and I agree you are ready, we can process trauma with EMDR
Between sessions (optional)
only what helps, nothing that shames.
Tiny, doable practices (1-3 minutes) to help in hard moments
No disappointment or judgment if you didn't practice. We'll explore if you want to continue trying to incorporate practice, and if so explore ways to make it more accessible
Check-ins if you want or need them
Over time
more steadiness, less activation.
Fewer spirals, easier returns to baselines
Clear boundaries with yourself and others
Past memories stops carrying emotional weight; your values feel easier to follow; not haunted by negative thoughts about self

Is this a fit?
We can go deep now, go slow first, or weave the two together.
Therapy moves at your pace, always with collaboration and consent.
There’s no “right way” to begin—just the way that feels possible today.
Deep dive now (EMDR-ready)
Build steadiness first (go slow)
Either way, your “no” is honored
