Couples Trauma Therapy in Central Dallas
Swap criticism for curiosity and resentment for repair
Couples Therapy in Uptown Dallas and Addison, TX.
As partners, you both experienced a crisis that fundamentally changed everything about your connection: your way of arguing, your relationships with family and friends, your sex life, your roles in the relationship, etc. Alternatively, one or both of you has past trauma that you brought into the relationship and it is seeping into everything good that you are trying to build now. The frustration is starting to drive a wedge between you that feels bigger by the day.
Somewhere along the way, you both got trapped in a cycle — and you want out.
Signs that Trauma is Impacting Your Relationship:
-Conflict escalates quickly and triggers overwhelming emotions and physical sensations
-One or both of you feel intense anger, recurringly, even over seemingly “small” things
-It feels unsafe to be vulnerable
-There’s a seesaw pattern of withdrawing followed by intense fighting that doesn’t resolve
-High levels of anxiety around decision making or stating a need
-Sexual dysfunction or disconnection
How Couples Therapy Helps Break the Cycle
Trauma puts you both on a hamster wheel of hurt. But the good news? Patterns can be broken — you just need a safe space to deconstruct what’s happening between you. Attachment Lab’s trauma-informed couples therapy services in Uptown Dallas, Addison, and online throughout TX are designed to give you room to slow down, breath, and identify the wounds driving how you each show up in the relationship. Using a blend of Emotionally Focused Therapy to identify the core pattern and restore emotional safety, Relational Life Therapy to uncover the childhood wounds driving the pain, and Sex Therapy techniques to restore intimacy, I meet partners exactly where they’re at without shame.

My practice was built from the desire to address forms of trauma that aren’t addressed in both the broader culture and mental health culture specifically. Grief from divorce and loss of important relationships, abuse within families and homeschool settings, and trauma in romantic relationships are so often shrouded by silence and that makes recovery more lonely than it needs to be. At Attachment Lab, the mission is to give you the space to feel heard in a story that often gets misunderstood and to get real, practical help in processing your experiences. As an attachment clinician, I focus my training and education on these areas and have honed my excellence as a specialist.
I am also a survivor of much of what I treat and my lived empathy puts me in a unique position as a therapist to truly understood where you’re coming from rather than relying solely on theory. A client of therapy myself, my hope is to empower you in the same way I would want.

I am an out-of-network provider, so payment for sessions is direct and due at the time of service. This allows you more confidentiality and freedom of choice in your sessions. Specifically, it avoids both a mental health diagnosis going on your permanent record AND insurance companies having access to your confidential records.
However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t use your benefits. Some insurance plans reimburse out-of-network mental health appointment between 50% - 80% of the session cost - the rate of repayment is unique to your plan. I utilize a benefits calculator during our consult call to help you instantly determine your out-of-network coverage. If you have benefits, I will automatically provide you with a superbill which is essentially a detailed receipt for services that contains all the information your insurance needs to reimburse you for appointments.

This is a time to help you determine if I am a good fit for your needs, ask any questions you have, and make sure you feel comfortable moving forward in scheduling. At the end of the consult, if we both feel that it’s a good fit, we will schedule your first session, and I will provide you with a link to your client portal where you can see your schedule and access your intake paperwork.
