Gottman Referral Network

About

I earned my degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been practicing as a Licensed Therapist. Based in Texas, my practice, AtReef Counseling, focuses on individual mental health, career guidance, and, most notably, relationship and couples counseling. I've also had the privilege of educating future therapists at various levels, as well as workshops on emotional well-being and relationship dynamics.

In 2023, I became a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, incorporating John Gottman's groundbreaking research into my practice. This approach is backed by extensive studies involving thousands of couples and offers proven techniques to differentiate happy couples from unhappy ones in long-term relationships.

My specialty areas include Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for emotional regulation and coping with life's challenges, as well as addressing sex and relationship issues. I believe I am able to empathize with the grief and trauma involved in these areas and to help guide couples to a place of understanding, healing, and decision-making in how to move forward. ultimately helping couples navigate the complexities of infidelity and conflict. My approach aims to empathize with the emotional turmoil involved and guide couples toward healing and constructive decision-making.

I also find great joy in working with 'new couples' or those who wish to proactively address minor issues before they escalate. The unfortunate reality is that many couples wait too long to seek help, allowing problems to become deeply ingrained. My mission is to assist you well before challenges overwhelm your relationship.
