COUPLES THERAPY 
IN AUSTIN AND THE GREATER TEXAS AREA

Do you and your partner find yourselves stuck in a negative pattern, repeating the same fights, and becoming increasingly explosive or withdrawing from the relationship? Relationships can be challenging. Often our relationships start out easy and connected and then over time negative patterns begin to take over, leading to increased dissatisfaction, loneliness, and disconnection. We try to use strategies to get our partner to hear us, understand us, or reconnect but end up making the situation worse. This can become increasingly frustrating and discouraging.  We can end up feeling like we are walking on eggshells or trying so hard to please our partner that we lose our sense of self. 

As an experienced couple’s therapist serving the Austin and greater Texas area, I provide a safe and empathetic space for you and your partner to explore and transform your relationship. My goal is to help you break free from these cycles and build a stronger foundation for a loving and meaningful connection.

My therapeutic approach is tailored to address these specific challenges. I work collaboratively with you to uncover the root causes of these patterns and equip you with concrete tools and strategies to interrupt and transform them. Through open communication, active listening, and guided interventions, I strive to create an environment where both partners feel heard, understood, and supported.

 I value the uniqueness of each relationship and am committed to providing a non-judgmental space where you can explore your concerns, rediscover intimacy, and build a deeper connection. I understand the cultural richness and diversity that Austin offers, and my therapeutic approach is inclusive and respectful of all backgrounds.
