Centene Therapists in Houston, TX
Life can be challenging and sometimes, these challenges can be overwhelming. My approach to therapy is first to create a safe space where a person can process their thoughts and feelings. I believe we all have strengths that have helped us cope throughout our lives. Sometimes, we just need a space where we can stop, reenergize and maybe even learn new skills.

I work with couples seeking to cultivate more secure, fulfilling, and resilient relationships. My approach integrates the Gottman Method, secure attachment frameworks, Polyvagal Theory, and principles from cognitive-behavioral therapy to foster effective communication, emotional regulation, and relational safety... I also support individuals in strengthening their relationship with themselves, enhancing self-esteem, self-worth, and self-talk while promoting self-compassion and self-forgiveness. I help clients build the capacity to “feel and deal” by improving their nervous system responses and choosing better coping strategies.
