***Specializing in Couples Counseling*** Most of my clients are couples seeking relief from relationship distress. This might include emotional disconnection, unresolved conflict, parenting stress, blending families, infidelity, contemplating divorce, living with mental and chronic illness, and other issues.
As an LPC intern on the clinical treatment team at Meier Clinics, I worked alongside medical staff in an intensive outpatient/partial hospitalization setting to provide treatment planning and implementation for patients experiencing debilitating anxiety, depression, prior trauma, bi-polar disorder, suicidal ideation, and mild psychosis.
As an MFT intern at UT Southwestern, I saw families and couples in the Department of Psychiatry’s Family Studies Center. I have worked closely with two different school systems in the Dallas area to provide critical care services to families who need them. I also worked with couples in distress; my primary modality being Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, a structured and highly researched form of therapy based on adult attachment and bonding. In addition, I provided services at the UTSW ALS clinic to support individuals, families, and staff contending with the impact of this condition.
My services include marriage counseling, treating infidelity, Christian counseling, the Prepare/Enrich Premarital Inventory, and also Discernment Counseling for couples contemplating divorce.
