I serve individuals and couples in Montgomery, Conroe, The Woodlands, Magnolia, and virtually in Arizona.
I believe our greatest joy — and often our deepest pain — grows out of our relationships. When communication feels strained, when conflict keeps repeating, or when old wounds quietly resurface, it can leave you feeling disconnected, misunderstood, or alone. These patterns can feel discouraging, but they are also deeply workable.

My orientation is family systems, which means even when there is only one person in my office, I view that person in the context of emotional systems in which he or she is embedded–family, work, friendships–and try to help the person recognize forces that are acting upon them. What are the "rules" of those systems? What expectations did someone grow up with, for example, around marriage and family? What lessons were learned about sexuality and religion, about work and play, fitting in vs. going one’s own way, and all the other challenges and choices that life presents?

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
