Couples Therapy & Clinical Supervision In Texas
Maybe you’re here because your relationship is unraveling after betrayal. Maybe you’re carrying years of resentment, loneliness, or confusion and wondering if it’s finally time to get help. Or maybe you’re a new therapist, full of questions, doubts, and the hope that this work can become more than just a job.
For over 25 years, I’ve sat with couples, individuals, and LMFT Associates who are ready to do meaningful work. Sometimes that means repairing what feels broken. Sometimes it means grieving what’s been lost or starting fresh with a clearer sense of who you are and what you want your life to feel like.
However you arrive, I’ll meet you with honesty, care, and the belief that healing doesn’t happen by fixing what’s wrong, it happens by creating something safe, steady, and new.
For Couples Who Feel Like They’re Losing Each Other
I work with couples who are tired of fighting, walking on eggshells, and tired of feeling alone in a relationship that once felt safe.
Rebuilding Your Life
Some couples come in after infidelity. Some are trying to rebuild after addiction or years of disconnection. Others just know something’s broken and are not sure where or how to begin again.
You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to show up, be honest, and take that first step together.
In our work, I focus on helping you stop weaponizing your pain, start protecting each other from harm, and rebuild the kind of safety that lets you exhale in the same room again. I use a model called PACT (the Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) which means we’ll pay attention to the nervous system, to attachment patterns, and to the ways you hurt and help each other in real time.
Sometimes the hardest thing to talk about is the one thing you miss the most—intimacy. When sex has become a source of tension, avoidance, or pain, it can leave both partners feeling isolated in different ways. In our work together, we’ll make room for the conversations you haven’t been able to have about desire, betrayal, hurt, or the distance that’s grown between you, so you can start to feel close again, emotionally and physically.
This isn’t quick work. But if you’re ready to begin, even with nothing but a thread of hope left, I’ll meet you there.
For Individuals Who Want Their Life Back
If you’re untangling from codependency, trying to rebuild your confidence, or grieving a relationship that never gave you what you needed, therapy can help you feel like yourself again.
Many of my clients come from high-conflict families, emotionally unavailable relationships, or long-term patterns of second-guessing themselves. In our work together, we’ll make space for clarity, honesty, and the kind of internal peace that doesn’t disappear when life gets messy.
For Therapists Who Want More Than Just Hours
I also offer clinical supervision for LMFT Associates in Texas. I’ve been in practice for over 25 years and bring both clinical depth and real-world mentorship to the table. My supervisees get support, guidance, and a safe space to figure out what kind of therapist (and business owner) they want to be.
Whether you’re working in an agency or launching your own private practice, I’ll help you navigate the clinical, ethical, emotional, and logistical challenges of this work, without burning out or giving up.
My Practice Is Rooted In…
- Deep respect for each client’s story.
- A belief in emotional safety and relational repair.
- Ongoing training in PACT, sex therapy, and trauma-informed care.
- A grounded, progressive Christian worldview (without “Christian therapy”).
