Relationship Therapist in Houston, TX
Marriage & Family Therapy
Whether it's conflicts between spouses, parent-child challenges, or multi-generational family dynamics, I understand that relationship issues can take an immense emotional toll. My role as a marriage and family therapist is to help families and couples navigate these difficulties through improved communication, conflict resolution, and understanding.
Marriage Counseling
A strong, loving marriage requires work from both partners. If you and your spouse are struggling with issues like intimacy, infidelity, finances, or communication breakdowns, I can help get your relationship back on track. Using evidence-based approaches like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we will:
Explore Core Issues: Identify the root causes of conflict and disconnection.
Rebuild Emotional Connections: Strengthen intimacy and trust between partners.
Healthier Interactions: Equip you with communication skills to foster understanding and empathy.
Family Therapy
From blended families to parenting children with special needs, every family faces unique stressors that can strain relationships. In family therapy sessions, I create a safe, judgment-free space for your family members to:
Voice Perspectives: Allow each family member to express their feelings and viewpoints.
Identify Unhealthy Patterns: Recognize and change patterns that may be causing harm.
Develop Strategies: Work together to create solutions that foster stronger familial bonds.
I integrate techniques from systems theory, structural family therapy, and psychoeducation to foster more positive family dynamics.
Common Family Issues I Address
Some of the challenges I can help families navigate include:
Behavior Problems: Issues with children and adolescents, such as defiance or school struggles.
Divorce and Co-parenting: Managing the challenges of separation, divorce, and raising children together.
Developmental Disabilities: Supporting families in addressing ADHD, autism, or other developmental concerns.
Blended Families: Resolving conflicts between step-parents, step-siblings, and other family members.
Substance Abuse and Mental Health: Addressing the effects of addiction or mental health struggles on the family.
Chronic Illness or Aging: Helping families cope with caring for elderly relatives or managing long-term health conditions.
