Supporting Couples Through Connection, Communication, and Compassion
As a Texas-based therapist, I have the privilege of walking alongside couples as they navigate some of the most intimate, challenging, and meaningful parts of their relationships. Whether a partnership is monogamous, ethical non-monogamy (ENM), or somewhere in between, one truth remains constant: every relationship deserves a space where all partners feel understood, empowered, and supported.
My work centers on helping couples strengthen their emotional and sexual connection through a blend of evidence-based approaches, including sex therapy, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and attachment-focused practices. Each of these tools offers something unique and when woven together, they create a powerful framework for healing and growth.
A Safe, Inclusive Space for All Relationship Structures
Relationships don’t look the same for everyone and they shouldn’t have to. I welcome couples of all orientations, identities, and structures, including those in open, polyamorous, and other ENM dynamics.
My role is not to define what your relationship should be, but to help you and your partner(s) build a version that aligns with shared values, boundaries, and desires.
Whether you're navigating:
Opening a relationship
Maintaining trust and communication within an ENM dynamic
Repairing after breaches of trust
Deepening intimacy in a long-term partnerships
Or exploring how to reconnect after major life stressors
I’m here to help you do so with clarity, compassion, and respect.
Integrating Sex Therapy for More Confident, Connected Intimacy
Sex is often one of the first areas to be impacted when stress, conflict, or disconnection show up in a relationship and one of the hardest topics to talk about.
In sex therapy, we explore concerns such as:
Desire differences
Sexual shame
Performance anxiety
Mismatched intimacy needs
Pain during sex
Navigating sexuality in ENM dynamics
Rebuilding sexual trust
I approach sexual concerns without judgment, creating space to talk openly about pleasure, body awareness, communication, and the emotional experiences that shape intimacy.
Using the Gottman Method to Strengthen Communication
The Gottman Method offers practical, evidence based and researched supported tools that help couples build connection and reduce conflict through:
Strengthening friendship
Building deeper emotional intimacy
Learning to communicate without escalation
Managing perpetual disagreements
Repairing after conflict
Increasing appreciation and affection
I guide couples through these skills while adapting them to the unique cultural, emotional, and relational contexts they bring into the room.
Attachment Work: Understanding the “Why” Beneath the Surface
Attachment theory helps us understand why we react the way we do in relationships, especially when we feel hurt, unseen, or disconnected.
Together we explore:
How early attachment patterns shape adult relationships
What triggers emotional withdrawal or anxiety
How to create secure connection within the partnership
How to show up for each other with reliability and care
This work lays the emotional foundation for long-term stability and closeness.
Healing, Growth, and Connection Are Possible
Every couple faces challenges, what matters is how those challenges are met. My goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and grounded environment where each partner feels heard, valued, and supported as you work toward the relationship you want.
Whether you are rebuilding trust, navigating change, or simply wanting to deepen your bond, you don’t have to do it alone. Therapy offers a place to slow down, understand each other more fully, and foster the kind of connection that feels meaningful and sustainable.
