My Approach to Helping
What would happen if you drove an old jalopy for years & spent little time & money on maintenance? It would be falling apart and threatening to have its last day any minute. A crisis would come. How scary!
Is this symbolic of your committed relationship? Have you been in it for a long time and done little to actively maintain it? Do you often feel hopeless—like there is nothing you can do to improve things? When did you quit “enjoying the ride”? Do you fear that your relationship will suddenly end one day? If that happens, you know that you will have financial & emotional issues & other challenges that create a crisis.
More Info About My Practice
Contemplate what needs change in your life to give more enjoyment. If it is your relationship, consider Marathon Therapy, an Intensive therapy designed to accomplish much in a brief period. It identifies problems, uses interventions, and works for positive results. The 3 Focus Areas are Modifying Conflict, Enhancing Friendship, & Creating Shared Meaning.
I am certified in John Gottman's Method of Couples Therapy from which the interventions come.
I also see individual clients. Some people need brief therapy for specific issues. I continue to see couples who want slower-paced therapy.
Go to my website (shown on this page) to send a secure email & to learn about this specific therapy.
On most days there is currently some availability for an Online Counseling session. However, sessions must be scheduled at least 12 hours in advance. Please call or email to inquire about available times.
I have a third license, LCDC (Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor), TX # 11683. It expires on March 31, 2026.
My Role as a Therapist
If we work together, some benefits for you might be renewed hope, long-time-coming resolution to a problem, an increased sense of safety, a better understanding of a situation, and (or) peace. What can you do to feel better? Call or contact me and make an appointment right now! That will initiate your road to change.
Concerning relationships, it is helpful to understand that you, and only you, are responsible for yourself, and only yourself. Could you use some help with this?
