About My Clients
Do you feel like you and your partner are constantly talking past each other and never connecting? Are you confused why even the smallest disagreements turn into huge arguments? Are big life transitions contributing to a feeling of disconnect from your partner? Whether you're in a period of missed communication and conflict, or you're just looking for a relationship "checkup", couples counseling can be a way to reconnect with your partner in a safe, non-judgmental space.
My Background and Approach
In couples counseling, there's no taking sides and no winning. Instead, it's all about building mutual understanding and finding a path forward that works for both of you. I approach couples with a direct but warm approach that focuses on practical skills for a better relationship. I graduated from Southern Methodist University with a master's of science in clinical mental health counseling. There, I studied couples and family counseling with a primary focus in marriage therapy and individual therapy for people dealing with pregnancy loss, postpartum mood disorders, and infertility. I completed Level 1 and 2 training through the Gottman Institute and received a certificate in perinatal mood and anxiety disorders from Postpartum Support International. I am an LPC Associate in the state of Texas, currently under the supervision of Allison Hunter, LPC-S. I'm a big believer in the idea that I am constantly learning with my clients.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I've always been obsessed with stories. Whether it's a great book, a movie, or even a small moment between two people at the grocery store, I love a story. One of the greatest privileges I have as a therapist is the ability to be a witness to your story. Not only that, but I have the honor of providing support, encouragement, and empowerment at those points in your story where you may need it most. With couples, one of my greatest joys is helping you rediscover your love for one another. The point of all of this is that being a therapist means more to me than just my degree on the wall. In fact, I consider it to be so much more than my day job – it's one of the most profound honors in my life. In a nutshell, therapy with me is: A partnership where you get an equal say in how we do therapy; Built on mutual trust and connection; Fun, authentic, and constantly acknowledging that we are all human; Comfortable: tears, stretchy pants, and snacks are always welcome here
