My Approach
A real plan for real change in Bryan & College Station. This is not endless talking. You will get practical tools you can use between sessions.
Private-pay only. Superbills provided.
Methods We'll Use
Structured, evidence-based care with clear goals and measurable progress. Primary approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for individuals and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Identify thought patterns, test them against evidence, and build skills you can use between sessions. It is one of the most studied therapies with strong results for anxiety, depression, and stress.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
Strengthen emotional bonds, increase responsiveness, and shift negative interaction cycles using an attachment-based, empirically supported approach for couples. Useful for relationship distress, frequent conflict, and rebuilding trust.

Explore & Understand
First, we'll talk through the patterns that keep you stuck. This isn't just venting; it's a focused exploration to understand the why.

Gain Insight & Build Skills
As we talk, I'll use evidence-based CBT & EFT to help you build new skills and find 'a-ha' moments of insight you can use in your real life.
