Every person has a story. The culmination of experiences in one's life shapes how they view themselves, their relationships, and the world. I have a passion for helping clients celebrate their unique strengths and gifts they share with others. With experiences in both private practice and hospitals, I have noticed a particular need for clients to separate their view of themselves from their current difficulties and circumstances. In spite of where clients may find themselves at the moment, my belief is that they have overcome every difficulty, challenge, and trauma that they have faced up to the present moment. As such, they will withstand their current circumstances, and will again declare victory.
I have my LPC-Licensed Professional Counselor and LMFT-Licensed Marriage and Family Counselor licenses. I have my Juris Doctorate and I am an expert in family law. My approach is collaborative, practical, and I make sure the client has something they can use to help themselves by the end of every session. I work with all types of clients, but mostly with adults, individually and as couples.

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding couples therapists in Pasadena starts with knowing what you and your partner want to work on. Couples therapy may focus on communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life transitions, or parenting disagreements. Since not all therapists have training in couples work, look for a licensed marriage and family therapist, or a therapist who lists couples-focused approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy in their bio.
In a smaller market like Pasadena, local couples therapy options may be more limited than in nearby Houston, so virtual appointments can help expand your search. It also helps to choose a therapist whose schedule works for both partners, whether you need daytime, evening, or virtual availability. Before booking, read each therapist’s profile for details on session structure, communication style, and whether they offer a brief initial consultation to help you assess fit together.
Couples therapy in Pasadena can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs, and Headway helps you check coverage before you book. You can compare therapists who are accepting new patients, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
