Helping you reconnect with your partner 

You want to have a happy relationship, where you feel like you are connected, and part of a team. But these days, you are feeling so overwhelmed by work, kids, and school that you feel like you are drowning. You feel more like roommates running a household together than romantic partners, and you feel lonely.

You can’t remember the last time you had fun together, and was EXCITED to see your partner.

COVID certainly doesn’t help. You feel like it’s put a magnifying glass on your relationship. You can’t ignore how bad things have gotten anymore.

The differences between you that didn’t seem like that big of a deal when you were dating now are all you fight about. Your differences in energy levels. How you spend money. Your sex life. The little things they do seem to annoy you, even when you rationally know it’s just part of their quirks.

Where did the happy couple you used to be go?

You normally can communicate very well, with OTHER people. But every conversation with your partner seems to end in a fight. You wonder how you got here. You desperately want your relationship to work, and want to feel connected again. You wish you had a time machine, and could go back before everything got so hard. 

You are scared of the future. 

You don’t want to end up as a statistic. A failed marriage. You want to make it work, but you just don’t know how. Everything you have tried seems to flop.

I am a couples counselor. A marriage therapist. And I exclusively see couples.

That means, I am a specialist rather than a generalist. My time is spent taking courses, reading books, and pursuing certifications that will help me better serve couples. I believe that good relationships are the bedrock of our society, but also know creating a great relationship can be really hard!

I am passionate about helping couples improve their relationships!

I use evidenced based treatment modalities to best help you in your relationship. I work from the Developmental Model which combines attachment style and differentiation/boundaries to create a treatment plan tailored for your needs as a couple. I also may utilize tools from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Gottman, and others, based on what I believe will serve your needs best.

I’ll help you understand the cycle that is driving your behaviors. 

I will help you be able to recognize why you behave the way you do, even when your reaction doesn’t make sense to you, which is vital for breaking the cycle. Taking individual responsibility for how you are creating these patterns is where the magic happens.

I often use metaphors and humor to help you discover that you are not alone in feeling disconnected. MOST couples go through this, when the dopamine wears off and they realize they are married to an imperfect person. 

We'll work together weekly to get to the bottom of what is happening and you'll have homework assignments to help augment the time we are spending in therapy so you can get where you are going quickly. I know you need and want things to get on track as quickly as possible.

I believe my job is to work myself out of a job by giving you the skills and tools you need to be successful!

I love working with couples throughout Texas via telehealth and in person in Frisco, who are motivated and ready to move from frustration, disconnection, and hopelessness into empathy, connection and hope for the future! I love working with couples before they get married, as well as helping them revive their relationship by working on intimacy and sex, communication, or faith transitions. 

Let me help you have the relationship you deserve!
