If any of this sounds familiar
You don't have to keep
white-knuckling it.
You keep having the same fight
Different topic, same outcome. The cycle feels impossible to break on your own.
Betrayal has changed everything
Whether it's infidelity, emotional affairs, or broken trust — the ground has shifted and you don't know how to find your footing.
You feel more like roommates
The closeness has faded. You're functioning together but not really connecting.
One of you is ready, one isn't
Ambivalence is normal. Therapy can help you both get honest about what you actually want.

Your therapist
A space where you
don't have to
perform.
I'm Houston — a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Scottsdale. My work with couples is grounded in the belief that conflict, distance, and betrayal aren't signs that a relationship is broken. They're signs that something underneath needs attention.
I use Parts Work, Post-Induction Therapy, and CBT to help couples understand not just what is happening between them, but why — and how to build something different.

The process
How we work together
01
Free 15-minute consultation
We talk briefly — no commitment, no pressure. You ask questions, I answer honestly, and we decide together if it's a good fit.
02
First couples session
A 90-minute intake where I meet you both, understand your history, and begin mapping what's actually happening beneath the surface.
03
Ongoing work together
Weekly or bi-weekly sessions. We track progress, adjust the approach, and build toward the relationship you came here for.
Specialties
Every person carries
a unique story.
Here's where I can meet you.

Communication breakdown, chronic conflict, emotional distance. For couples who want to reconnect before it's too late.

Betrayal trauma is real. Whether you're trying to rebuild or deciding what comes next, I'll help you navigate it with honesty.
LGBTQIA+ Affirming Therapy
