Therapy in Houston, online in Texas and Vermont, and coaching worldwide for deep relational recovery.
BUILD YOUR WAY FORWARD—TOGETHER OR APART.
YOU ARE HERE BECAUSE YOU ARE TIRED OF:
Frequent, intense conflict with no resolution
Broken trust after small or significant betrayals
Lingering trauma responses after an affair
A lack of warmth or affection — living like roommates, slowly drifting apart
Hopeless gridlock in an anxious/avoidant attachment strategies
Shaky or ignored boundaries — with each other, kids, extended family, work, money, hobbies, etc.
Codependency and rigid roles: caretaker & cared-for, fixer & broken one, over-controller & under-controller, pleaser & avoider
Parenting conflict that never seems to resolve
A lack of purpose, direction, or shared vision for the relationship
Ambivalence about staying or leaving
Disorienting life transitions — losses, blending families, divorce, death, parenting changes, empty nesting, health struggles, retirement, immigration, career shifts — all taking a toll on your relationship
IF YOU ARE READY TO WORK ON YOUR RELATIONAL GROWTH I CAN HELP YOU :
Heal past wounds and restore — and sustain — authentic connection
Mature your communication and learn to cherish each other again
Rekindle joy, spontaneity, admiration, and playfulness
Strengthen conflict resolution and problem-solving skills
Clarify and maintain healthy boundaries
Improve parenting and co-parenting collaboration

Gain clarity about what needs to change
Heal self-esteem wounds and shift unhealthy power dynamics inside and outside.
Part ways with respect and kindness, if needed — and move toward healthy uncoupling
Some couples come in stuck in a 50/50 dynamic. Others are caught in something more uneven—70/30 or beyond. Sometimes one of you carries deeper childhood wounds, and they’re getting in the way of connection.
I will hold up the mirror with compassion and clarity—so you can see how you relate to yourself and your partner. We’ll explore blind spots not as flaws, but as trailheads for healing.
I don’t sugarcoat, and I don’t pathologize. We’ll go straight to the heart of what’s not working—and I’ll guide you in building the tools to change it.
Most of us didn’t grow up learning how to do relationships well. So we repeat dysfunctional familiar and/or cultural patterns that helped us early but no longer serve us. I’ll help you recognize those patterns, take ownership without shame, and grow into what Terry Real calls full-respect living.
You and your partner might coming with different agenda. You might be torn about whether to stay or go. Together, we’ll get honest about what’s underneath and explore what healing, clarity, or change could look like.
I see a lot of positive results using Relational Life Therapy or Coaching for couples.
It is a structured three phase approach.
Phase 1. Insight and Awareness of your recurring patterns and their impact on relational health.
Phase 2. Healing and Transformation through inner child work and rewiring of maladaptive patterns.
Phase 3. Equipping you with powerful relational skills for deep and lasting change.
This work is about moving beyond wounds and protection and into relational way of being:
Boundaries without guilt
Repair without shame
Connection without losing yourself
Shift from blame to relational empowerment
Empathy while holding your boundaries
From automatic reactions to authentic and relational responses
From dominating or appeasing to true relating
