I consider it my life’s work to help others during difficult times in their lives, as I personally know the importance of having someone you can trust during life’s challenges.
I was a born talker! Long before I began college, I was known by those around me as the secret keeper. I received both a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology with a minor in Development and Family Studies and a Master of Education in Counseling with a focus on Community, from the University of North Texas in Denton, Texas. After college, I have worked with those affected by trauma, including children, adolescents, adults and the elderly. I have worked with child victims in foster care, those affected by domestic violence, those currently experiencing homelessness and those who have been diagnosed with one or more mental health disorders.
What I have learned is that we are who our experiences shape us to be. You take the good, you take the bad, you take them both and there you have the facts of life. Regardless of what has happened, we can move forward—we can take the path less traveled and achieve positive results. We can be exactly who we want to be—if we're willing to put in the work.
My hope is that our time together will bring out your truth. Life can get heavy. Love can become difficult. My intent is to create a healing space free of judgment. Your charge is to bring your authentic self. When these things combine, growth happens. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you. Take the first step. Make an appointment today.

As a daughter, friend, sister, mother, grandmother, and person who has experienced many of life's stressors, I bring compassion and a desire to understand my clients to each session. I value the importance of the therapeutic alliance and endeavor to make our sessions as therapeutic as possible.
I am passionate about supporting teens, adults, and couples in Texas reduce anxiety, manage stress, and build resilience. I offer a warm, direct, and honest approach focused on addressing symptoms such as chronic worry, emotional overwhelm, relationship stress, and difficulty setting boundaries using practical strategies. I also provide Christian faith-based counseling upon request.
I completed my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a 4.0 GPA over five years ago. I am also credentialed as a Master Certified Professional Coach (MCPC) and was previously Board Certified as a National Certified Counselor by the NBCC.

As someone who has experienced personal trauma and PTSD, I know how much that can affect every aspect of a person's life, and what challenges it presents to becoming the healthiest version of yourself.
Hi, my name is Jared, and I'm an LPC Associate with an M.S. in Counseling. I work with adults ages 18–63 navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, relationship wounds, identity development, and emotional pain. I also support LGBTQIA+ clients exploring identity, shame, religious trauma, self-acceptance, and rejection. My background includes PHP/IOP work with complex trauma, substance use, personality disorders, and major life transitions. I'm passionate about helping people move out of survival mode and toward healing, growth, and lasting change.
My approach is compassionate, direct, trauma-informed, and collaborative. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and attachment-based work to help clients process trauma, regulate emotions, improve relationships, and break painful patterns. I also believe humor, authenticity, and joy are important parts of healing.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you do not have to navigate things alone. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and supported while working toward healing, growth, and lasting change. If you feel we may be a good fit, I'd be honored to work with you.
You deserve dedicated time with a mental health professional — it can be life-changing.

My go-to approach for helping people in couples/marriage counseling is the Gottman Method. I prefer the Gottman Method because it can help disarm conflicting verbal communication. It has structured steps that can help create a better foundation for a relationship. This method is helpful because it is structured.
I teach the following tools in couples/marriage counseling:
I know a client is making meaningful progress in couples/marriage counseling when communication is improving.
Clients can supplement their time in couples/marriage counseling with active listening and improving quality time. I typically like to make sure that, when my clients express their feelings to each other, they use “I” statements. I also encourage them to spend quality time with each other at least once a week.
To prepare for your first couples/marriage counseling session, you can prepare to listen to your partner. I always tell my clients that when one person has to be right, it means the relationship loses.
Couples therapy and marriage counseling, also known as relationship counseling, helps couples work through their specific relationship issues. Some examples of common focuses within couples therapy and marriage counseling include:
The types of therapy used in couples and marriage counseling include:
At Thriveworks, Couples/marriage therapy is led by licensed professionals — often licensed marriage and family therapists (LMFTs) — who are experts in their field and best-equipped to help couples.
The Gottman Method of couples therapy is a research-supported approach designed to enhance relationships by bolstering the bond between partners, resolving conflicts, and fostering shared meaning in their relationship through comprehensive assessments and tailored interventions that improve communication, trust, and the overall health of the partnership.
If you’re facing persistent relationship problems, communication breakdowns, or unresolved conflicts that are impacting your emotional well-being and happiness, Couples/marriage therapy may be beneficial for you.
While marriage and couple’s counseling is typically recommended for couples who are experiencing persistent or severe relationship issues, any relationship can benefit from attending these sessions.
Marriage and couples counseling at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you and your partner.
On average, couples attend marriage and couples counseling for 12 weeks. However, couples & marriage counseling may last longer or shorter, dependent on the couples’ needs, the challenges they’d like to work through, and the pace of their progress.
At Thriveworks, we accept most major insurance plans, allowing many clients to pay as little as $0–$50 per session with their co-pay. We also offer self-pay options for those out-of-network or without insurance. Self-pay rates for talk therapy range from $160 to $240 for intake sessions and $135 to $195 for follow-ups, depending on your state. For psychiatry services, self-pay intake sessions are $255–$375, with follow-ups ranging from $175–$300, also varying by state. More information on current self-pay costs is available on our pricing page.
This investment of your time, and your partner’s, demonstrates to each of you that this is something worth developing. If the two of you continue to work together, to communicate and share, you can see your relationship grow around you. That said, every relationship comes with challenges—if you’re experiencing a relationship issue that could benefit from an expert’s perspective and help, reach out to Thriveworks Pflugerville today to schedule a couples counseling appointment.
Our therapists know that no relationship is free from trouble. Thriveworks couples counselors understand that maintaining a strong relationship requires consistent work from both you and your partner. All relationships experience the occasional storms of stress and conflict.
When you have challenges in your life, your relationship doesn’t have to suffer. These occasional issues don’t have to cause your relationship to collapse. We can provide proven strategies that have worked in the past and may help. Let our couples counselors work with you to develop the blueprint for an exciting and satisfying relationship that overcomes these rough patches of life.
Our therapists and counselors are relationship experts, licensed professionals who have been trained in various types of counseling to help couples. We tailor our approach to both individuals in your relationship, and help you address the specific issues you and your partner may be facing. This customized strategy can often help you make progress in a relationship you might have felt was permanently stalled.
Thriveworks provides counseling for couples to help you smooth out those rough spots in between you and your partner. Our therapists work with both of you to inspect the various areas of your life together, both inside and outside of the home. You can be confident this work is done in a caring and supportive manner, without being accusatory. Once we’ve begun to identify any weaknesses that exist, we can help you begin shoring up those areas.
If you’re willing to work on your relationship, we can provide you and your partner with the tools to make it better. Our couples counselors and therapists have the knowledge, experience, and skills to help. More importantly, they have a desire to help you develop the satisfying life you want.
Let us work with you to develop your healthy relationship, one that will be solid enough to stand the test of time. Thriveworks offers evening and weekend sessions, accepts most major insurances, and provides additional benefits. Reach out today to schedule.
