Meet Sammie
Couples Therapist in Texas 
How I work
My approach to couples therapy is warm, relaxed, and direct. I create a supportive space where both partners can feel heard while also helping them address the patterns that keep them stuck. Rather than focusing on who is right or wrong, I help couples understand the deeper emotions and needs that drive conflict, disconnection, and communication difficulties. My work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach to couples counseling that helps partners improve communication, strengthen emotional connection, rebuild trust, and create more secure relationships. Together, we identify negative relationship cycles, explore the underlying emotions beneath conflict, and develop new ways of responding to one another.
My framework is rooted in this deep awe I have for relationships —the way they can wound us, shape us, and ultimately help us grow. They are the most formative experiences we have and will always have. Our connections matter deeply, and they’re always worth approaching with curiosity, care, and understanding.
I walk alongside my clients by seeking to understand the layers of their pain and longings. I take time to disentangle the parts of themselves that feel misunderstood or fragmented. I believe meaningful change happens when individuals and couples are able to repair relational ruptures. My goal is to equip clients with skills to express emotions, miscommunications, and concerns clearly, and to do so without fear or judgment. In doing so, I strive to help them build stronger emotional bonds.
Whether you’re seeking help for recurring arguments, emotional distance, intimacy concerns, premarital counseling, or healing after infidelity, my goal is to help you build a relationship that feels more connected, secure, and fulfilling.
I would be absolutely honored to walk with you on this journey.
Who I love working with
I love working with couples who genuinely want to show up well for each other, even when they don't always get it right. The ones who care deeply about their relationship, have good intentions, and sometimes find themselves getting in their own way.
I love working with couples who are willing to get curious about themselves, have the uncomfortable conversations, take responsibility for their part, and maybe even laugh at themselves along the way. You don't have to agree on everything, communicate perfectly, or have it all figured out. But you do have to be willing to look at what you bring to the relationship, too.
My approach to couples counseling is relaxed, warm, and direct. I believe meaningful change happens when we stop focusing solely on what our partner is doing wrong and start getting curious about what's happening between us.
As a couples therapist offering online therapy throughout Texas, my goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are, be challenged when needed, and feel supported while doing the hard (and worthwhile) work of relationships.
You might still have questions about therapy or what to expect, and that’s a really normal place to be. Here's some answers to questions people often bring into this step.
