Coaching for couples Fort Worth, Texas

Curiosity, leading to connection.

Attachment-based coaching for couples who find themselves caught in the same painful cycle, often without quite knowing why. A steady place to understand your protective patterns and begin reaching for each other instead of repeating your negative cycles.

So much of how you reach for connection was shaped long before words could catch up, by the stories each of you has been carrying in your body.

Within your relationship live quiet, protective patterns. The way one of you reaches with urgency. The way the other pulls back to keep the connection steady. Both responses make sense. Both have been protecting something that mattered that likely pre-dates this relationship.

Here there is no rush. You are met as you are, both of you, with steady attunement, curiosity, and room to move at the pace your nervous system is asking for.

This work can begin independent of other therapeutic supports or in tandem with previously established therapeutic practices.

This work is about slowly understanding the cycle you keep finding yourselves in, understanding your unique attachment blueprint, and learning how to turn toward each other and experience positive cycles where naturally occurring conflict can be a catalyst for deeper connection and felt safety within the relationship.

On safety
Healing often begins when there is enough safety to become curious about the stories we carry, the patterns that have been protecting us, and the people we love.

I came to this work
the long way.

I came to it through my own season of loss, and the long, painstaking work of learning myself again: the way I reach for connection when I am frightened, why going quiet had served me well until it didn't, where the old aches still sit in my body. That slow relearning is what rooted me here in the work of attachment theory.

So much of what wears two people down could soften with a little more understanding of each other and of the nervous systems we each carry into the room. Less trying harder. More knowing and presence given.

I trained for this work, too. I earned my certification in attachment and somatic coaching through The Embody Lab, studying under people who have shaped the field, including Peter Levine, Gabor Maté, and Dan Siegel. Their teaching taught me to read the nervous system, to understand how relationships live in the body, and to trust that real change comes slowly and lasts.

So this is the work I do now: helping two people slow the cycle between them until they can hear what their bodies have been saying all along. I sit with couples in Fort Worth and across North Texas.

My partner is hesitant. Is that okay?

Often, one of you arrives first, and that is welcome. The initial call is held for both of you with care. Practical questions, hesitations, and the quiet ones are all welcome. There is no pressure here on either side.

Is this therapy?

Not exactly. This is coaching (embodied practice, attachment exploration, and witness) designed to sit alongside therapy when it is helpful, not in place of it. If you are already navigating something clinical, your therapist remains your primary care.

We're a Christian couple. Will that be honored?

Yes. My work is faith-friendly and Bible-literate without being doctrinal. Christian language and scripture-rooted reflection are welcome here; nothing in the work depends on a particular tradition.

Why 90-minute sessions?

Most therapeutic work runs 50 minutes. That is enough time to open something, but rarely enough to follow it all the way through. At 90 minutes, we can settle in, stay with what surfaces without rushing toward a close, and find some steadiness together before you leave. For attachment work, where the nervous system takes time to feel safe before it can shift, that space is not a luxury. It is where the real work tends to happen.

How long until we feel a difference?

Each couple moves at their own pace. Many find that small shifts begin to settle in within the first few weeks: a softer landing after a hard moment, a more honest pause. Deeper pattern work tends to unfold over months, and often continues quietly beyond.

What does this cost?

Sessions are $225 each, at 90 minutes. For couples ready to commit to a defined arc of work, a 10-session package is available at $2,000 (an effective rate of $200 a session). That container gives us room to move past the opening conversations and stay with the work long enough for something real to shift.

When you are ready, I would be honored to walk with you.

A twenty-minute call

Both of you are warmly invited. No pressure on either side.
