Therapy is like tutoring, a little help to get through a stuck point, to polish up things, and then move on. We will look at what's not right and plan for something better, an updated plan. My clients appreciate that they aren't doomed & they aren't damaged, they just need an upgrade that matches where they are now.
I also I supervise newly graduated therapists in Texas (LPC & LMFT) and New Mexico (LMHC) and teach them these skills.

I have over 8 years of experience helping adults, teens, and couples in crisis.
Many of the individuals we walk with have faced deep challenges: trauma, addiction, grief, relationship struggles, or seasons where life felt overwhelming. Our role is to provide practical tools, therapeutic support, and a safe space to rebuild new habits that support long term emotional and spiritual well being. At the same time, we hold onto the truth that God restores, renews, and brings purpose out of pain.

Perhaps, you and your partner long for a deeper sense of connection.
Taking an integrative approach to therapy, I utilize more traditional modalities as well as EMDR, to support clients experiencing anxiety, physical and emotional trauma, grief, relational challenges, addiction, and other presentations. Mindfulness is a cornerstone for all services I provide, including couple’s work, where attachment theory and EFT are used.

Are you transitioning and experiencing a change of life, maybe a change in identity? Perhaps what used to be meaningful to you, isn't anymore, and you're in an existential quandary. People who lead meaningful lives ask themselves tough questions in order to find authenticity. Perhaps you have an erotic concern? This can happen at any age. We all have to learn to cope with the circumstances we find ourselves in, and that's been a common thread in the work I do.

I've had the unexpected privilege of working with diverse clients, including veterans, trans individuals, couples, families, and people navigating work and purpose.
The life you built looks right, but it doesn't feel like yours anymore. You know the stories behind your patterns, yet the distance between you and the people you love keeps growing. More understanding won't close that gap. You need someone to help you stop navigating by old maps to clear the noise, trust yourself again, and build something that actually feels like home

How does marriage counseling work?
Marriage counseling works by teaching couples concrete skills to communicate with one another and solve disagreements in healthy ways. A trained mental health professional works with both members of a couple to explore difficulties the couple may be having and helps them develop skills to address these matters. Couples who don’t have any difficulties but want to prepare for marriage may develop skills for the future.
How long does marriage counseling typically last?
Marriage counseling is a short-term form of therapy; the process may last between four and eight sessions. Other forms of relationship guidance from mental health professionals, such as couples therapy, are longer lasting, may focus on the past rather than just the present, and are tailored to the individual couple and their emotions, history, and patterns in the relationship. Couples therapy often lasts for 12 weeks or longer.
Is marriage counseling effective?
Marriage counseling helps many couples develop relationship skills that may not have been acquired or tested in a relationship; partners may be better able to communicate and address conflict following counseling. However, there are many different forms of marriage counseling, and this form of counseling does not have as strong an evidence base as other modalities such as couples therapy.
Is marriage counseling effective if only one partner wants to go?
Yes, marriage counseling can still be effective if one partner convinces the other to engage in the process. Of course, whether counseling is effective depends on the couple’s commitment to work on their relationship; however, the short-term, skills-based nature of marriage counseling makes it a relatively easy “ask” of a partner, and the hesitant individual may see its value once counseling begins.
