About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Texas and Washington State. I specialize in couples counseling but my experience also includes treating behavioral health disorders, family issues, self-esteem barriers, career counseling, and much more. My clinical approaches include Gottman Couples Counseling, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing. I am passionate about serving people. Using an integrated model, I seek to meet you where you are. You were uniquely created and we are not meant to do life alone. I would love to partner with you to help you find the strength to live the life you are aspiring towards. Your relationship matters. Come, take a deep breath, and regain your strength in a safe space. You don't have to fight each other. Allow me to teach you how to fight together for the sake of your union. Let's rebuild your friendship and improve your communication in order to increase your connection and intimacy. I am passionate about couples/marital counseling. I have been trained in The Gottman Method and am in the process of completing certification. The Gottman Method is an evidence-based model developed out of over 40 years of research. Using this method I have great confidence that I can support you through your relationship challenges, and if you are committed, I can teach you the new skills you may be in need of to create a healthier, happier union. It is important to know that some of these sessions will be recorded, with your written consent. I can discuss this with you in more detail if you are interested. Whether you and your partner have recently run into issues or have been long-suffering or simply want to learn some preventive skills to continue thriving, help is near. Therapy can be scary! First and foremost, I do not take lightly the responsibility of being your safe place. My goal is to create a non-judgmental, empowering atmosphere for you to be your true self.
