Couples Counseling
You may be feeling stuck in your relationship, your spouse is your trigger, or you are struggling with communication in your relationship. I understand, and I’m here to help!
I help couples identify how they feel, express their emotions in a non-confrontational and effective way, and ultimately feel safe and heard in their relationship.

My approach to Relationship Counseling in Austin
Relationships are enriching and profound, but challenges can create overwhelming stress. My expertise in couples Counseling can help both individuals and couples navigate these difficulties. Triggers can feel like the third partner in the relationship and it is easy to want to “give up” when it seems relational patterns become so ingrained. It is in couples therapy that I believe we can explore what issues are affecting both partners. I believe couples therapy can provide the opportunity to learn about ourselves, strengthen communication, and deepen our trust.
I believe the biggest tool for couples’ work is empathy. Not only empathy for our partner but empathy for ourselves. No one gave us a playbook on how to be in a relationship and we create high expectations for ourselves that end up bleeding into the relationship.
My approach to couples counseling is using a combination of attachment-based work, emotionally focused therapy, and emotional regulation techniques. In couples counseling, we will identify relational patterns that have prevented you from connecting with your partner while discussing your history and early relational dynamics that contributed to the current dynamics in your relationship. I act as a neutral and encouraging guide throughout this process. There are times that I may focus on one partner at any given time due to the material that we may land on.
As a couples therapist specializing in couples Counseling, my goal is to help you develop essential relational skills, enabling empathic and effective communication of your needs within your relationship.

This depends and ultimately every couple is different. Howevever, I strongly recommend you commit to weekly sessions for six months and then we reassess how comfortable and confident you are with the tools and principles you have learned in our time together. In some cases it may take longer or less time. Remember, the current patterns were there before you met your partner and it takes time and patience to unlearn what we have learned.

I do not work with partners individually before couples therapy. Every session includes both partners. While some couples therapists meet with each partner for individual sessions before or during couples counseling, I find strictly meeting with the couple provides a cohesive and clear foundation for our treatment together.
