Navigating Relationships: A Lifelong Commitment
At the core of our well-being lie our relationships. When they falter, every dimension of our life feels its tremors. Taking the initial step to seek support is never easy, and I am truly honored you are considering my practice as part of your healing journey.
For over a decade, I have delved deep into the intricate world of human connection. My clinical experience has cemented a core belief: nothing nourishes our spirit more than the bonds we share, yet few things require more intentional care. My mission is to guide you and your partners through the labyrinth of complex emotions, turning disconnection and conflict into healthy communication, deep safety, and lasting connection.
Integrative Couples Therapy & Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM)
Relationships are not one-size-fits-all. Drawing on extensive academic backing and rich clinical experience, my therapeutic stance is both integrative and collaborative. I specialize in helping couples navigate a wide variety of relational landscapes—including those exploring or actively navigating ethical non-monogamy (ENM), open relationships, and polyamory.
Whether you are seeking to strengthen an existing open structure, manage jealousy, or redesign your relationship agreements, I provide a sex-positive, affirmative space. Together, we will arm you with effective communication strategies and new ways of understanding each other so you can operate as a united team, even amidst disagreements.
Specialized Expertise in Trauma, Betrayal, and Neurodiversity
My professional journey has led me to develop a deep understanding of betrayal, trauma, and the systemic repair process. Grounded in research, I employ methods that have stood the test of time and scrutiny to create a safe haven devoid of judgment and blame. I regularly help partners navigate complex challenges, including:
The aftershocks of infidelity and betrayal trauma
Mismatched desires, intimacy blocks, and diverse sexual styles
Relational dynamics influenced by neurodiversity, including Autism and ADHD
Family-of-origin conflicts and boundary restructuring
Advanced Credentials and Systemic Training
I hold a doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Woman’s University, a master’s in the same, and an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Texas at Arlington. My comprehensive expertise encompasses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and specialized sex therapy training. I have also received advanced training in the Gottman Method and Relational Life Therapy (RLT).
As a proud member of the American Association of Sexuality Educators, Counselors, and Therapists (AASECT), I stay at the absolute forefront of contemporary treatments, resources, and affirmative care models for diverse sexual and relational lifestyles.
Outside my practice’s walls, I am a dedicated educator, teaching graduate courses in marriage and family therapy, specifically focusing on trauma, couples counseling, and sex therapy. I am also continually working toward publishing research on couples, trauma, and health—topics I passionately present on both local and national platforms. As the founder and lead clinician of this practice, I remain ever-committed to your growth, healing, and relationship harmony.
