You’re feeling unheard and disconnected from your partner. Communication that once felt easy now leads to conflict. You want to reconnect, to feel seen and understood, and to know that you and your partner can handle life’s challenges as a team. Healthy relationships don’t just happen— they’re built and nurtured. Seeking out couples therapy is not a sign of failure but rather a sign of strength and dedication. I’m passionate about helping you and your partner co-create the relationship you desire and see lasting change.

My mission as a couples therapist is to provide a space where you and your partner can explore and transform your relationship. Together, we'll uncover the patterns holding you back and equip you with tools for meaningful change. Drawing from leading modalities in the field—Gottman Method, RLT, & EFT—I stay informed of the latest developments to support you.

As a lesbian therapist, it is my joy to create an affirming space for Texas LGBTQ+ couples. If you’re ready to build a stronger and more understanding bond with your partner I invite you to reach out. I look forward to connecting with you.
