About
Do you seem to be caught in a cycle of constant conflict over the same issues? Do you live with a sense of isolation from your partner? Do you struggle with anger, anxiety, sadness/grief, or insecurity? I work with individuals and couples in gaining control over the emotional reactiveness that seems to derail our best efforts at life and relationships. Through a Process Experiential and Emotionally Focused Therapy approach I help individuals and couples to gain insight and reorganize their experiences in order to create new patterns of dealing with the challenges they face in relationships and in life.
After spending 24 years as a missionary and pastoral counselor in Brazil, I have pursued training in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy along with various Process Experiential approaches to working with emotional triggers and blocks. My approach avoids assigning blame and instead calls upon one's strengths to create new emotional/relational experiences.
I am a member of the AAMFT, TAMFT, the International Center of Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy and licensed in both Texas and New Mexico. My focus is working with couples (conflict, affair recovery) and individuals with emotional issues (anxiety, depression, trauma,grief).
