Anderson, TX 77830
Special interests and focus include marriage and premarital, missionary member care, spiritual formation and relational growth.
Quoting David Mathis, "Poor listening diminishes another person, while good listening invites them to exist and matter. Positively, then, good listening requires concentration and means we're in with both ears, and that we hear the other person out till they're done speaking. Rarely will the speaker begin with what's most important, and deepest. We need to hear the whole train of thought, all the way to the caboose, before starting across the tracks." Who then should set up an appointment? Ideal clients are males, couples or families seeking life transformation, relationship growth or reconciliation or spiritual formation for life's journey.

I value a relational approach that emphasizes innovative and intentional sessions designed to stimulate and encourage change, provide support, and process realities of life.
Real, lasting change can be difficult to come by. It can seem elusive and out of reach for so many of us as we wrestle with the confusion and difficulties of life. I work with client's from all walks of life with the common goal of seeking change, gaining beneficial insight, and a moving towards a style of life marked by resilience, meaning, and joy.

Most of my therapy work is centered in knowledge about relational neuroscience, attachment science, systems work, and integrating the body into treatment, although all therapy is tailored for each person’s unique needs.
Reaching out can be so hard, but it is such an important first step! We are not made to do the hard things alone and more and more research is showing that we are deeply wired for connection and support. While different seasons in our lives have different needs and speeds, we know that every individual is capable of connection, healing, and wholeness with the right support. Science has shown us time and time again how adaptive our bodies and brains are as they change to manage the stress or trauma of our lived experiences. Therapy is about moving towards healing and growth as we learn to trust ourselves.

My work is person-centered, and influenced by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT).
I have always believed that healthy interpersonal communication is one of the most dynamic and invaluable resources that we have at our disposal. In counseling, as in life, I aim to cultivate a practice of empathetic wellness intervention in service of creating clear and coherent communication across race, class, gender and sexuality, while also prioritizing community, accessibility, and holistic wellness. I enjoy working with interpersonal relationships, familial trauma, anxiety, guilt/shame, and identity formation, and am especially interested in working with women, people of color, and LGBTQ+ populations.

I am guided by relational-cultural theory which believes that we grow through and towards connection with people in our lives.
My clients typically find themselves stuck in transition, wanting to get to know themselves more deeply and ready to explore what is coming next on their horizon. I enjoy working with people who may be seeking self-reflection and a brave space where they can reconnect with their personal story and 'spark' for guidance on their journey. I also offer play therapy for children ages 3-10. Play therapy sessions provide an opportunity for kiddos to engage in and practice self-regulation skills, creative problem-solving, improved self-esteem, as well as developing healthy coping habits.

Relational Therapists
How does relational therapy work?
Relational therapy was developed by psychologist Jean Miller, whose ideas stressed that having strong connections with others encourages better health and well-being when compared with a lonely existence. Conversely, poor interpersonal relationships do not foster growth and learning. Relational therapy also encourages trust in others and patience with others, along with better communication and less conflict.
Is relational therapy evidence-based?
Relational therapy is not well-studied, and it may not be as effective in treating certain mental health conditions when compared with evidence-based treatments like cognitive behavioral or acceptance and commitment therapy. However, relational therapy uses techniques found in cognitive behavioral therapy as well as psychodynamic therapy, which are both well-studied with empirical research.
How long are people typically in relational therapy?
Clients may see improvement after a few weeks or months of therapy. Like cognitive behavioral therapy, relational therapy can reduce symptoms within 10 to 20 weeks, at 45 to 50 minutes once a week. But like any type of therapy, improvement depends on the person and the severity of the problem.
Does relational therapy work?
While no therapy type will work for everyone, some evidence suggests that this therapy can be effective. Relational therapy can help a person manage problematic relationships as well as the mental health conditions that accompany difficult relationships like depression or anxiety. This therapy type may offer benefits that are hard to measure but can be just as valuable—including feelings of higher self-worth or healthier connections with others.
