Couples Therapy and Marriage Counseling for Those Who Want More

Many of the people I work with feel they want more from their relationship with their partner. Some feel like they have become “roommates,” while some have felt the relationship grow colder year after year. Many fear it is too late to repair the relationship. If this resonates with you, you are not alone. Relationships can be challenging, and many people feel stuck. Couples therapy is a path forward for many couples who want something more. 

There are many reasons why couples may seek couples therapy or marriage counseling. Here are common issues I help my clients with through couples therapy:

  • Communication Breakdowns: Feeling misunderstood, constantly defensive, or walking on eggshells.

  • Infidelity & Trust Recovery: Healing the deep wounds of betrayal and navigating the road to rebuilding trust.

  • Parenting & Family Stress: Navigating differing parenting styles, boundary issues with extended family, or the transition into parenthood.

  • Life Transitions: Coping with career changes, financial stress, or moving to a new home.

  • Emotional Distance: Overcoming the “roommate dynamic” and reviving physical and emotional intimacy.

  • Preventive Care: Working through problems before they become too big.
  • Discernment Counseling: Discerning whether to divorce or remain married before life-altering decisions are made.

Trauma and PTSD

The past can really hurt. Many people experience intrusive thoughts and memories that they can’t get out of their head. Whether you have experienced “Big T” trauma or a smaller trauma, the effects can be debilitating. EMDR therapy provides relief for those who have memories or negative beliefs that are harmful. Those who experience disturbing memories, flashbacks, and negative thought patterns find relief through EMDR Therapy. Through the process of EMDR therapy, difficult memories are processed so they no longer affect how you feel and think about yourself.

FAQ

Do you accept insurance?

I am private pay only and do not bill insurance directly. Upon request, I can provide a superbill — an itemized receipt you can submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement. I recommend calling the member services number on the back of your insurance card and asking about your out-of-network mental health benefits before your first session.

The initial intake session is $225. All follow-up sessions are $175. Evening appointment times are available for those who cannot attend during regular business hours.

Both options are available. In-person sessions are held at my office in Katy, TX at 23501 Cinco Ranch Blvd, Suite G270. Telehealth sessions are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform and are available to clients located anywhere in Texas. 
 
The first 2–3 sessions are focused on getting to know you and understanding what brought you to therapy. There is no pressure to share more than you are comfortable with. I will ask questions to get a full picture of your situation, history, and goals, and together we will start building a treatment plan tailored to you. Most people leave the first session feeling heard and with a clearer sense of what the path forward looks like.
 
On average, therapy takes around six months. That said, the timeline depends on a number of factors including how often we meet, the complexity of what you are working through, and your engagement between sessions. Some clients reach their goals in a few months; others benefit from longer-term work. My goal is for you not to need me — once your goals are met and gains are stable, we wrap up.
 
No. You can discontinue therapy at any time. There is no minimum session commitment. That said, meaningful change rarely happens in one or two sessions — I’ll be honest with you about what a realistic timeline looks like for your specific situation.
 

This is very common. Reluctance usually comes from fear — of being blamed, of having to relive painful moments, or simply of the unknown. If your partner is hesitant, a good first step is framing the first session as a chance to be heard rather than a commitment to a long process. I also offer a free 10-minute consultation where your partner can ask questions before deciding. In the meantime, individual therapy can still be a productive starting point.
