Hello. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Texas. I offer telehealth to anyone, anywhere in Texas. I am a seasoned therapist specializing in couples through the various seasons of their relationship, especially those experiencing high conflict. I work from the science of attachment and creating safe and fruitful relationships. I believe that by clearing the relational path from past hurts and trust breaks, real change can and does happen, thus allowing the couple to begin to make needed repairs, gain personal insight into their part in the relational dance, and learn how to genuinely take care of one another. I also offer discernment counseling for couples needing clarity and confidence in knowing their relationship's path. I work with individual adults to help with anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationships, and other personal concerns. My therapy method is also systemic meaning I work with each person as they are part of a greater whole. I take into account factors such as: how their family of origin is affecting their current life; what their beliefs are about their culture, society, religion, spirituality, sense of self, and justice; how personal strengths are perceived and used; and how their impact the space they occupy. I consider myself a compassionately direct therapist who works collaboratively with each of my clients to go at their speed but will also challenge when needed.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
My method of therapy is to uncover the emotional drivers of behavior so that safety and stability can be formed through secure attachments. I get to this pretty quickly and I will check in as I'm going to make sure the couple/individual is okay with the speed and direction. Once idntified, we slow down and take time to acknowledge and sit with the emotion or experience, create space for it, and move through it.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have over 20 years of experience working with couples in and out of the therapeutic world. I am able to work with couples navigating very tough and vulnerable situations with compassion and directness. I work closely with couples to achieve their relational goals and can be adaptable according to their needs I have experienced divorce at an early age, remarried for 23yrs, raised 4 children, created several businesses with my husband, and still have energy for fun and exercise!
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am an entrepreneur of 20 years and work with high-profile couples as they navigate business creation and relationships. I am compassionately direct with steeled nerves, therefore I am able to sit in difficult places with couples as they strive to acknowledge what they need and want in their relationship and begin to work toward that goal.
