COUPLES COUNSELING

best relationship therapist austin, tx

Our relationships are opportunities for growth and healing.

Humans are wired for connection, but most of us were never shown how to connect with others in a healthy way.

We often repeat the same patterns from one partner to the next and end up frustrated, resentful, and feeling stuck in our relationships.

Couples counseling can help.

Therapy with your partner offers a unique opportunity for both personal growth and lasting relationship transformation.

When you learn the skills to navigate cycles of harmony, conflict, and repair, you improve the relationship you have with your partner – and the one you have with yourself.

Our work will help you achieve a deeper understanding of yourself and your partner, recognize and change unhealthy patterns, increase self-esteem, develop more empathy, deepen intimacy, and make relationship health a priority. 

To work with couples, specialized training is vital. I have studied extensively with Terry Real, renowned therapist, author, and creator of Relational Life Therapy, and I’m currently one of a handful of certified RLT therapists in Texas. I’ve also trained with leading relationship experts Stan Tatkin, founder of PACT, and Esther Perel.

I want you to feel better about your relationship, so I use the latest approaches to help couples achieve quicker and longer-lasting results than other “old-school” methods.

I work exclusively with couples who are ready to make a real and lasting investment in the health of their relationship.

I see couples weekly or bi-weekly for 80-minute appointments. Weekend intensives are available for those couples eager to see faster results.

If this is you, let’s find out if we’re a fit.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Couples therapy with me is direct, honest, and sometimes challenging — designed to create real change, not just insight.

Grounded in compassion and a good sense of humor, my work goes beyond traditional talk therapy.

I practice Relational Life Therapy, a proven, experiential therapy that helps you break old patterns and practice healthier ways of relating in real-time.

What couples can experience is deeper understanding, more ease, greater intimacy, and renewed trust.
