Therapy that helps you actually change.
You don’t just want to talk about your life. You want to live differently.
Couples and individual therapy across Texas.
In-person in Austin. Online statewide.
Structured. Intentional. Growth-focused.
You might be in the right place if:
You keep having the same arguments with your partner
Depression feels heavy and hard to shift
Anxiety and overthinking run your day
You’re tired of therapists who only passively listen
You want direction and accountability, not just validation
When talking isn’t enough.
Insight matters. Action matters, too.
My work blends three evidence-based approaches:
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT):
What if difficult thoughts and feelings didn’t have to control your behavior?
ACT helps you step back from the mental noise and choose actions that align with what matters with you.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT):
When conflict repeats, it’s rarely about the surface issue.
EFT helps us identify the attachment cycle underneath conflict, where reactive patterns reflect unmet needs for connection and security.
When the cycle is understood, it can be changed.
Gottman Method Couples Therapy:
Healthy relationships rely on skill, not guesswork.
Gottman therapy provides research-based tools for communication, repair, and rebuilding trust.
For couples who want meaningful change.
You may be experiencing:
Recurring arguments
Emotional distance
Difficulty rebuilding trust
Feeling unheard or misunderstood
Our work typically includes:
Identifying the negative cycle
Understanding the attachment underneath it
Learning new ways of responding
Building skills for repair and connection
The goal isn’t to avoid conflict, but to respond in ways that build trust and connection.
For individuals who want meaningful change.
Common areas of focus:
Anxiety and overthinking
Depression and loss of motivation
Breakups and relationship loss
Repetitive relationship patterns
Life transitions
Perfectionism and high standards
Emotional regulation
You won’t leave with just insight. You’ll leave with something to practice.
The goal isn’t to eliminate difficult thoughts and feelings, but to respond in ways that move you forward.
Sustain and strengthen.
Therapy doesn’t have to end when crisis does.
As patterns shift, our focus changes. We reinforce what’s working, address emerging challenges, and strengthen the skills you’ve built as progress continues.
This work is designed to sustain growth and strengthen your resilience over time.

I work with couples and individuals who are ready to approach therapy intentionally. My style is direct, thoughtful, and active. Sessions are structured and collaborative, with a clear focus on meaningful change.
We look closely at the patterns shaping your thoughts, reactions, and relationships. Then, we work to shift them in practical, sustainable ways.
