Relational Life Therapy is a powerful approach to therapy that produces deep, lasting change and helps individuals and couples improve their relationships, and their lives.
Developed by prominent family therapist and author Terry Real, RLT is structured and comprehensive, and each session builds upon the previous one. The approach combines psychotherapy, skill-building practices, and relationship coaching. I like to describe it as “going to relationship school.”
RLT gets to the root of problems quickly and offers a clear framework for transformation by helping people recognize and change patterns, move through conflict with more ease, restore closeness, and have better relationships. -

I’m one of a handful of certified Relational Life Therapists in Texas, with advanced training in couples and relational work. This specialization requires ongoing education, consultation, and a deep commitment to the craft.
I maintain a small, focused practice so I can offer personalized, quality care and support. My pricing reflects the standard market rate for the level of training, certification, and expertise clients seek.
Relational work goes beyond addressing surface issues by changing the patterns that shape your relationships and personal well-being long after therapy ends. Many clients find that the long-term relief, clarity, skills, and connection they gain far outweigh the cost.
I believe therapy is an investment in the quality of your relationships and your life. That said, it should feel like a considered choice rather than a financial strain.
I encourage you to examine whether working with me aligns with your goals and priorities at this time, and whether you’re ready to make a commitment to the process and the resources required to create lasting change.

I love working with people who are ready to roll up their sleeves and get to work.
I also appreciate clients with a good sense of humor who are open to honest feedback — curious about their own patterns of behavior and contributions to their relationships — and committed to practicing new skills both in and outside the therapy room.
Relational Life Therapy is active and experiential, which means meaningful change will be a direct result of your participation.
You don’t need to have everything figured out, or even feel all that confident at the start. You do need a willingness to show up, have some curiosity, and stay engaged in the process.

Every situation is unique so we’ll discuss a plan at the start of the process.
In the beginning, I prefer to see clients weekly or bi-weekly to maintain momentum and build a solid foundation for our ongoing work.Some clients see significant shifts in a few short months, while others choose to stay in therapy longer.
The point of Relational Life Therapy is to get more of what you want, not to keep going forever. So, we’ll check in regularly about your progress and goals, and determine together when to scale back. -
