Hi there. First, I'd like to wish you well, especially as you work with a psychotherapist. In the 13+ years that I've been practicing, I've learned that each person and each relationship is unique, so I've developed a variety of ways to approach psychotherapy and relationship therapy that help individuals to heal and help couples to relate. By working with thoughts and feelings, with mind and with heart, people can move through what is in the way, blocking them from feeling better and being better. I'm absolutely honored to help with that movement.

I have two specialties. One is relationships. I'm a Marriage and Family Therapist formally trained in many approaches, including Gottman Method, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy & Real Life Therapy. My other specialty is in working with trauma, using evidence-based EMDR which has been proven to remove barriers and jumpstart healing.

If you'd like to get in touch with me for scheduling, please send an email. I'm licensed in both Texas and California, and availability for telehealth sessions is shown on my website mcnamaratherapy.com.

Psychotherapy and relationship therapy do not follow a blueprint, because we human beings are so amazingly unique. Your therapy won't be exactly like anyone else's. But for everyone, the focus turns inward, towards who you really are. It can be exhilarating or terrifying, or both. I'll support you, with experience and confidence about how to move in the direction of freedom and peace.
