Prioritize Your Healing - Let's Connect

I believe that a meaningful and fulfilling life is possible, even when challenges feel overwhelming. Life experiences, past wounds, and internal patterns can sometimes create barriers that show up as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, or a loss of direction. Therapy provides a supportive space to explore these experiences, develop insight, and move toward healing and growth.

Compassionate support for…

Individuals

Individuals often seek therapy when they are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, or relationship concerns. I take an individualized and integrative approach, tailoring therapy to the unique needs of each client. Within a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), emotionally focused therapy (EFT), internal family systems (IFS), mindfulness practices, and somatic techniques.


Adolescence 12+

Adolescence can be an especially challenging time, marked by academic pressure, social expectations, emotional changes, and questions about identity. Some teens may withdraw, feel anxious, or become overwhelmed as they try to navigate these demands. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where teens can speak openly about their experiences. My work focuses on supporting teens with ADHD, neurodiversity, and anxiety while helping them develop self-understanding, confidence, and practical coping skills.


Couples/Families

Healthy intimate relationships offer a powerful space for personal growth and meaningful connection. A strong partnership is built on emotional safety, open communication, and secure bonding. In my work with couples and families, I draw from evidence-based approaches including the Gottman Method, Imago Relationship Therapy, and the work of Esther Perel to help clients navigate challenges and strengthen their relationships.


Therapy with Purpose

I love being a therapist because it is a privilege to walk alongside people during seasons of change, uncertainty, and growth. I believe healing happens through connection, compassion, and feeling truly understood. My work is grounded in creating a safe, supportive space where you can slow down, reflect, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence—at a pace that honors your story and your strengths.

Guiding You With Care...

Evidence-Based Therapy Approaches in Texas

At Prime Life Counseling, we integrate a variety of therapeutic approaches to support your growth, healing, and well-being. By combining practical strategies, emotional insight, body awareness, and mindful presence, we create a personalized path that meets you where you are and helps you move toward the life you want, from the following:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT helps you identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. By understanding how thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected, you can develop practical strategies to manage challenges and create positive change in your life.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT focuses on building skills for emotional regulation, stress tolerance, and healthy relationships. It teaches strategies to navigate intense emotions, improve coping skills, and create balance between acceptance and change.

Internal Family Systems (IFS)

IFS helps you explore the different "parts" of yourself—sometimes in conflict—and encourages healing and integration. By understanding and caring for these parts, you can find inner harmony and self-compassion.

Imago Relationship Therapy

Imago therapy improves communication and connection in relationships. It helps partners understand each other's needs, heal past wounds, and build more empathy, trust, and intimacy.

Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy works with the body to release stored tension and trauma. By tuning into physical sensations, you can process emotions more fully and restore a sense of ease and balance.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness encourages present-moment awareness and self-compassion. Practicing mindfulness helps reduce stress, improve focus, and cultivate emotional resilience in everyday life.
