Transformative
Couples Therapy

Couples therapy isn’t just about solving arguments—it’s about creating lasting connection, understanding, and intimacy. In our work together, we explore the patterns, fears, and vulnerabilities that shape your relationship, uncovering the deeper emotional needs beneath conflict.

Breaking Cycles, Building Intimacy

I help you uncover the patterns that keep love feeling out of reach, guiding you to break cycles and build bonds rooted in trust, intimacy, and true connection.

You are not alone

I have been where you are. Although inevitable, relationship challenges are anxiety-inducing and sometimes feel possible. I can help you navigate them.

I know how isolating it can feel when fear, conflict, or old patterns keep you from the connection you crave. Unlike therapists who only listen or focus on surface-level solutions, I meet you where you are—with warmth, honesty, and a clear roadmap for growth. I help you face the fears and vulnerabilities that often go unspoken, guiding you to understand yourself and your relationships on a deeper level. Here, you’ll find a space that is safe, real, and focused on lasting transformation, not just temporary relief.

SOME OF MY SPECIALTIES

  • Attachment-Based Couples Work

    Many couples struggle not because they don’t love each other, but because old wounds get activated in the moments that matter most. I help partners identify anxious and avoidant patterns, slow down conflict cycles, and build the emotional safety that makes long-lasting connection possible.

  • Couples in Young Family Season

    The early parenting years can strain even the strongest partnerships. Exhaustion, overstimulation, identity shifts, and uneven emotional or household labor often lead to disconnection. I support couples through this intense stage, helping them communicate more effectively, repair resentment, rebuild intimacy, and stay grounded in each other while raising little ones.

  • Navigating ADHD in the Relationship

    ADHD can shape communication, emotional connection, routines, and the flow of daily life in ways couples don’t always understand. I help partners make sense of these patterns—like missed cues, overwhelm, uneven follow-through, or reactivity—through an attachment-based, non-blaming lens. Together, we build structure, improve communication, and reduce shame so both partners feel supported, understood, and on the same team.

  • Healing Relationship Imbalances

    When one partner feels like they’re carrying more—emotionally, mentally, or practically—it creates tension that builds quietly over time. I help couples navigate those imbalances with clarity and compassion, whether it’s the mental load, household tasks, parenting responsibilities, or emotional caretaking. Together, we create a more sustainable rhythm, clearer expectations, and a partnership that feels supportive and shared rather than lopsided.

FAQs

  • Couples Rates

    • $200 for a 60-minute session

    • $300 for a 90-minute session (ideal for deeper work or high-conflict cycles)

    Couples work is intensive, emotionally focused, and often benefits from the longer format—especially when you both need space to settle, explore, and reconnect without feeling rushed.

    Insurance

    I offer couples therapy as private pay only. Insurance companies do not adequately cover relationship-focused work and often require diagnosing one partner, which can limit the effectiveness and transparency of couples therapy. Private pay allows me to work with both partners equally and focus on the relationship itself.

  • Couples therapy is fundamentally different from individual therapy. Insurance companies do not recognize or adequately support relational work, which often requires assigning a diagnosis to one partner and framing the therapy as treatment for a single individual. This can limit the depth of the work and create ethical concerns.

    By offering couples therapy as private pay, I’m able to:

    • Treat the relationship itself as the client, rather than identifying one partner as the “problem”

    • Work with both partners equally and transparently, without diagnostic labels driving the process

    • Offer greater flexibility in session length when clinically appropriate, allowing us to slow down, deepen, or stabilize as needed

    • Incorporate individual check-ins or individual sessions with each partner when helpful for the couples work (e.g., clarifying patterns, supporting regulation, or preparing for joint sessions)

    • Practice evidence-based couples therapy, including EFT- and IFS-informed approaches, without insurance-driven constraints

    • Focus on attachment patterns, emotional safety, and lasting relational change, rather than short-term symptom management

    This flexibility allows the work to be responsive, tailored, and aligned with how meaningful relationship repair actually happens.

  • Yes. Completely. Many couples begin therapy with one partner feeling more motivated, anxious, or unsure than the other. Hesitancy doesn’t mean therapy won’t work—it often softens once both partners feel understood and safe.

    Before we begin ongoing work, I offer a consultation with both partners together so you can each get a feel for my style, ask questions, and make sure you’re both comfortable moving forward. It’s important to me that therapy feels like a place where both of you are seen, heard, and supported.

    I stay neutral, balanced, and attuned throughout our work. I don’t take sides—I help you understand the cycle you’re both getting caught in and guide each of you toward clarity, connection, and compassion.

  • Probably not. Most couples who come to therapy feel stuck, disconnected, or afraid they’ve waited too long. What matters most is whether you’re both willing to show up and try, even if it feels messy or uncertain. With support, understanding, and a safe space to slow down the cycle, even relationships that feel heavy can begin to shift in meaningful ways. You’re not too far gone—you just need a new way forward.

  • You’re welcome to bring questions if you’d like, but you don’t need to come prepared or know exactly what to talk about. Most couples walk in feeling unsure of where to start—that’s completely normal. I’ll lead and guide the session, ask thoughtful questions, and help us land on what’s most important for you both. Your only job is to show up as you are.

  • I’m an active, emotionally attuned therapist who blends compassion with clarity. I don’t just sit back and observe—I guide, intervene, and help you understand the deeper patterns driving your reactions so you can finally experience change that lasts. I specialize in attachment-based couples work and family systems, which means I help you both feel seen, understood, and not blamed—while also challenging the patterns that keep you stuck. I’m especially skilled at helping couples navigate personality differences, communication ruptures, and the stress of modern partnership. If you want someone warm, grounded, and highly engaged who can hold both of you with care and neutrality, I’m a strong fit.

  • I provide virtual therapy sessions for clients across Texas. All of my clients meet with me online from the comfort of their own homes, so you can access support no matter where you live in the state. I work with individuals and couples throughout Texas, including cities such as Austin, Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and surrounding areas. My online therapy services are designed to provide flexibility and convenience while maintaining the same level of care and support as in-person sessions.

THERAPY DOESN’T HAVE TO BE INTIMIDATING.

I’m a therapist, wife, and mother, so I know firsthand how stressful and messy life and relationships can feel. Marriage and partnerships are full of both joy and challenges, and I’ve learned, personally and professionally, practical tools for navigating the tough moments—miscommunication, distance, frustration, and conflict—while helping couples reconnect and grow.

In therapy with me, you’ll find a warm, grounded space where you can feel understood, gain clarity about patterns that keep you stuck, and learn skills that create real, lasting change in your relationships. You don’t need to have it all figured out to start—you just need to be willing to show up.
