I consider it my life’s work to help others during difficult times in their lives, as I personally know the importance of having someone you can trust during life’s challenges.
I was a born talker! Long before I began college, I was known by those around me as the secret keeper. I received both a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Development and Family Studies and a Master of Education in Counseling with a focus on Community, from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. After college, I have worked with those affected by trauma, including children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. I have worked with child victims in foster care, those affected by domestic violence, those currently experiencing homelessness and those who have been diagnosed with one or more mental health disorders.
What I have learned is that we are who our experiences shape us to be. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life. Regardless of what has happened, we can move forward—we can take the path less traveled and achieve positive results. We can be exactly who we want to be—if we're willing to put in the work.
My hope is that our time together will bring out your truth. Life can get heavy. Love can become difficult. My intent is to create a healing space free of judgment. Your charge is to bring your authentic self. When these things combine, growth happens. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you. Take the first step. Make an appointment today.
I know how overwhelming it can feel to face anxiety, trauma, or life’s unexpected challenges....

Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
While you may not be able to control your relationship’s ups and downs, you can choose how to respond. Couples counseling with a therapist at Thriveworks in Helotes, TX can help you reopen lines of communication, rekindle that spark, and rebuild your connection.

If you are experiencing an issue that is interfering with your ability to live your best life together, it might be worth considering a couples therapy appointment. Consider if you need to:
Talking with a professional can open the doors to communication, find the root of obstacles in your relationship, and teach you how to see things from a different perspective. Even if you’re not sure what the exact source of your troubles may be, our mental health professionals at Thriveworks in Helotes, TX can help you figure that out and work through them.
If you are worried about your relationship and you’re willing to do something about it, it isn’t too late. Couples therapy can help provide you with a compass when you have lost your way. Our licensed counselors can help you remember what drew you to your partner in the first place and learn how to cultivate those feelings again.
The first step is admitting you have a problem so you can do something about it. Our licensed professionals are trained to create a safe space for you to express your concerns and listen to what both of you have to say. They will help you open up to each other in an effective way, often teaching you valuable validation and communication skills along the way.
If you find yourself responding or reacting to your partner in ways you don’t like, there may be experiences in your past that are worth exploring. Childhood events, trauma, and even the ways our parents disciplined us can all have lasting impacts on the ways we act and react as adults. A licensed counselor or therapist can help you unpack those layers to find deeper meaning.
Your therapist is an objective observer who can shape questions that will prompt you to think or behave differently. You may be asked to share your current concerns, delve into your past, or focus on external factors that are placing stress on your relationship. Each session is designed to help you move beyond your issues and cultivate a stronger relationship in both the short and long term.
When you and your partner are ready, reach out to us at Thriveworks in Helotes, TX to schedule an appointment.
Our compassionate professionals are here to help you build a happier and healthier life together. We also offer our clients:
