I am honored that you are considering me to accompany you on your mental health journey.
I am a Resident in Counseling with 5 years of experience supporting clients from diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in helping individuals facing depression, anxiety, work stress, and addiction. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore challenges, build resilience, and foster growth. My goal is to empower clients to manage stress, improve relationships, and overcome patterns of self-doubt so they feel more balanced, confident, and connected in their daily lives.
I have a Master’s in Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. I integrate evidence-based practices such as dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I tailor therapy to meet each client’s needs, ensuring that every person feels understood, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.
I believe everyone deserves a safe place to feel heard and supported. Life’s challenges can be heavy, but you don’t have to face them alone. Through warmth, compassion, and care, I help clients find healing, balance, and hope while working together at a pace that feels right for them.

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.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach to couples therapy is first to help couples learn, develop good communication skills, and develop trust.
I use mindfulness approach and open communication.
I know clients are making meaningful progress when the couple can communicate without interrupting, correcting, and talking down to their spouse.
Couples need to do things together. Date nights are helpful.
Be open and honest. Leave defenses behind and listen.
Thriveworks Couples therapy helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. It is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy include:
Couples therapy works by helping couples identify and better navigate their unique challenges. Following an initial assessment of the couple in terms of strengths and needs, the therapist would then discuss their therapeutic goals and any possible approaches or ways of working together as therapist and couple.Couples attend sessions together, whether they meet in person or by video. In addition to regular couples therapy sessions, each partner may also be asked to attend a few individual sessions to supplement their progress. This will allow their counselor to get to know each individual better, assess each of their personal needs, and develop the very best treatment plan moving forward.
Couples therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and via Online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend couples therapy for 12 weeks. However, couples therapy may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
Being in a relationship can be life-changing in many ways. We share our day-to-day with another person, build dreams and goals with them, and our decisions are based around their interests, not just our own.
When relationships are going well, it might feel like a dream. But when communication breaks down and arguing, fighting, and frustration becomes commonplace, couples therapy and marriage counseling could be the solution. If you think that you and your partner could benefit from couples therapy or marriage counseling, consider scheduling a session at Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Round Rock.
Couples therapy, also known as couples counseling or relationship therapy, is a therapeutic approach that helps couples to better identify and work through the unique relationship issues that they’re struggling to overcome.
Couples therapy sessions are typically led by a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT). They’re experts who are equipped to help couples work through unique challenges and better understand one another.
Couples therapy often works to improve both partner’s communication skills, which means tough, yet productive conversations about the relationship and what is going wrong (and right) will occur. In exercises such as these, the therapist will ask for both partners to communicate honestly but respectfully.
Marriage counseling aims to help married couples work through their issues and improve their relationship strategically. Marriage counseling also assists in re-igniting sparks that may have gone dull over the many years of married life—a normal experience for married couples. With the right marriage counselor’s guidance, partners can reinforce and recall the reasons that brought them together in the first place.
As with couples therapy, counselors who specialize in addressing relationship issues (typically LMFTs), lead this type of therapy. They may interchangeably be called marriage counselors or couples therapists. It’s important to remember that there’s no difference between marriage counseling and couples therapy. When the couple is married, couples therapy might also be referred to as marriage counseling—it depends on the status of the two partners attending therapy or counseling together.
At Thriveworks Counseling & Psychiatry Round Rock, our mental health professionals meet with domestic partners, new couples, co-parents, couples with open marriages, and even long-term friends. We also have therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ couples, couples from different cultural backgrounds, and more. All relationships deserve care – and all relationships require work.
There are many problems, big and small, that may be troubling a marriage or relationship. That’s why couples therapists and marriage counselors are expert problem-solvers—and they share their experience and expertise with each couple.
Your relationship may be in need of relationship counseling if you and your partner are experiencing any of the following issues:
Change-oriented interventions guide both partners toward a more satisfying relationship. A clear outline of treatment objectives is used to track progress and to offer the couple a road map or guide of where they’re headed, and where they’ve been.
At the first couples therapy or marriage counseling session, a mental health professional will establish their understanding of what situations and issues are affecting your relationship. It gives both you and your therapist a chance to get to know each other better and determine if you’d work well together. During this time, your therapist will ask you and your spouse about your treatment goals—this may also include checking to see whether both partners want the same outcome out of the sessions. It’s a good time to disclose any challenges or reservations you have about the marriage or relationship; honesty is the best policy. This will help Thriveworks your counselor to determine the best course of action.
As sessions continue, you can give your counselor ongoing feedback about the process. This will help your therapist refine your individual therapy experience so it meets your specific needs. An LMFT might utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches, including emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT-C), solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and/or the Gottman method.
Marriage therapy sessions will include exercises meant to improve communication, build trust, and help you and your partner get to know each other better as individuals—not just partners.
