MS, LMFT Associate Supervised by Bridget Jowid, LMFT-S
You may be feeling stuck in painful patterns, wanting more closeness in your relationships, or longing for a stronger sense of self. My work centers on helping individuals and couples create healthier, more fulfilling ways of connecting—both with themselves and with the people who matter most.
I take a systemic approach to therapy, looking at how family dynamics, culture, and social expectations shape identity and relationships. With couples, I draw on the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy, which emphasizes differentiation—the ability to stay emotionally connected while also honoring your individuality. This work can help you and your partner break free from reactive cycles, strengthen communication, nurture intimacy, and cultivate resilience. I also support clients in exploring and deepening sexual connection, recognizing it as a vital part of relational health.
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate supervised by Bridget Jowid, LMFT-S and Dr. Nicole Van Ness, LMFT-S. I hold a master’s degree in counseling from Southern Methodist University and a bachelor’s degree in human development and family studies from The Ohio State University. Before becoming a therapist, I spent over two decades in corporate and nonprofit leadership, experience that shapes my ability to connect with clients from many walks of life.
I am a certified Safe Conversations® Leader, trained in Neuroptimal® neurofeedback, and a facilitator for Prepare & Enrich®, supporting couples at every stage of relationship—from pre-engagement to long-term partnership. To further deepen my approach, I’ve pursued training in Mindful Self-Compassion and I’m currently completing Level 1 training in the Developmental Model of Couples Therapy. I am also an active member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT), the Texas Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (TAMFT), and Relational Therapists of Dallas.
My style is warm, inclusive, and trauma-informed. I pay attention to the ways identity, culture, and systemic inequities shape our experiences and relationships. Together, we’ll uncover limiting beliefs, explore new ways of relating, and co-create more authentic and life-giving connections.
If you’re ready to strengthen your relationships and create lasting change, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
