The Work
For couples and families stuck in something that won't resolve on its own.
Most people find me when something between them has stopped working — and the usual advice, the books, maybe a round of therapy that didn't take, and hasn’t moved it.
I work with relationships that matter too much to give up on. Most often that's a marriage. But a marriage doesn't exist in isolation — sometimes the stuck relationship is between a parent and an adult child, mom and teen daughter, or family members who've stopped really speaking. Whoever is in the room, the work is the same: I won't stay neutral, I'll tell you the truth about what's keeping you stuck, and I'll help you build something that actually holds.
How we work together
Weekly sessions.
We meet weekly, in my Dallas office, at my home office in north Dallas (intensives) or online. Consistent, focused work — not occasional check-ins.
Intensives, when you want to move faster.
An intensive can cover in a few days what weekly sessions take months to reach — longer, focused blocks for couples and families who'd rather not stretch the work across a calendar. A good fit when something needs to shift now, not eventually.
Real support between sessions.
Conflict doesn't wait for your next appointment. You'll have access to me by phone and text between sessions, so when something flares up, we can address it while it's live — not a week later when the heat is gone. Sometimes a five-minute call prevents a five-day fallout.
Why my practice stays small
You get more than a scheduled hour. You get someone who will be direct with you, who's reachable when it matters, and who's genuinely invested in the outcome — which is only possible with a small number of clients at a time.
If you're looking for quick fixes or light-touch check-ins, I'm honestly not the right fit. But if you want high-level, personal work that changes the trajectory of your most important relationships — this is exactly that.
When a family is grieving
Grief doesn't follow a schedule, and it doesn't move through tidy stages. It moves through a family — each person carrying it differently, often at the same time, often without the words for it.
As a certified grief educator, I help families hold loss together. That might mean a parent trying to steady their children through a death while barely standing themselves. It might mean a family that's gone quiet, each person grieving alone in the same house. It might mean you, needing someone who understands grief to sit with you in it.
I won't rush you, and I won't hand you stages to march through. What I offer is steady, knowledgeable company through the part of loss that no one prepares you for — and practical help making sure the people you love don't have to grieve alone.
The same steady access applies here. Grief arrives in waves and rarely on schedule. As with all my work, you'll have phone and text support between sessions, for the moments that don't wait.
Ready to do this differently?
If you've read this far, something here landed. Maybe you're the one who's been carrying this, wishing your partner would read it too. Maybe you're not sure they're on board yet. That's okay — most couples don't start out equally ready.
Reach out and we'll talk: where things actually are, and whether this is the right fit. A real conversation, not a commitment.
