MD, former President and Founder


Hello, I am a Texas psychiatrist, who has practiced medicine for over 36 years.  Since 1992, I am grateful to have served the Fort Worth community in clinical, administrative, and academic roles.  As a physician development coach at the TCU School of Medicine and as Regional Medical Director of Connections Wellness Group, I work to help people live their best through improved wellness.  Empower Fort Worth’s mission to “help the helpers” develop mental armor to keep them healthy and resilient is important and one in which I strongly believe.
