Meet Your Couples Therapist in Round Rock, Texas

You started out in therapy elsewhere, already exhausted and at your wit’s end, and you received lots of validation and suggestions on what to say or not to say. But nothing changed. You weren’t sure you were getting through about what was really going on, and before long the motivation to keep investing time and money into the process ran out.

That’s not what therapy should be like. Here it’s different.

I’m Lia, a relationship and couples therapist in Round Rock, TX who works with adults who are stuck in unhealthy patterns in their relationships and are ready for things to change for good.

I’ve been there…

I celebrated 20 years of marriage in 2025, and very little of it has been sunshine and rainbows! In fact, very little has gone according to plan! I’ve had to learn how to break out of unproductive cycles in a relationship to stop trust from eroding and connection from fading.

I’ve done the deep, isolating work of faith deconstruction, the kind that makes you feel like a heretic or unfaithful. The way the world continued to shift and look different with every revelation and conversation felt like drifting further and further away from everything I thought I knew. (Still does!)

I also spent 6 years as a first responder, living with the very real strains of shift work. There was a huge chasm between work life and home life, and letting the two coexist felt like an insurmountable task.

The change in each of these areas was in the decision to do the work, to sit with how I felt, to work through the complex feelings, learn how to be kind to myself and stay connected to those close to me. Now I help my clients do the same - to tackle real-life stressors without losing connection.

Maybe you’ve been made to feel like you’re “too much” in your relationships, or “not enough.” Or both.
You may have trouble recognizing who or what is safe anymore. Having foundational relationships shift and crack because real life is happening is incredibly painful.

If any of that sounds like you, I’m glad you’re here. I don’t have a magic formula for fixing things, but I have spent 6 years helping people identify the break in connection, see the need underneath, and learn healthier ways of staying engaged, secure, and fulfilled in their relationships.

Who I am…

I am a wife, mom of 2 incredible daughters, book lover, and singer/songwriter. I like to spend my spare time watching British crime dramas with my husband, playing guitar, writing new songs, trying new recipes, and - whether I like it or not - chauffeuring my kids around town. I show up as my real self in the therapy room in hopes that you will feel free to do the same. I don’t try to cover up the quirks of real life - I use them to encourage authenticity.

I have done the work of caring for others and their relationships for as long as I can remember. As an early-twenty-something, coworkers were coming to ask me the “right” way to go about things in their relationship. What did I know?! But they trusted me to hold the details of their story and their beautiful, sacred lives together.

Now it’s my passion and dream come true to share a space with you, in the office or over a screen, and hold the tender details of your life alongside you.

What Therapy IS…

Therapy is a collaborative process designed to help you better understand yourself, navigate life's challenges, and create meaningful, lasting change. In my practice, therapy is a space where you can slow down, reflect, and explore your thoughts, emotions, relationships, and experiences without fear of judgment. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, therapy offers an opportunity to gain insight, build resilience, and develop practical tools for moving forward.

Many of us find ourselves repeating patterns that once helped us survive but no longer serve us. Together, we'll identify those patterns with curiosity rather than criticism, understand where they came from, and begin disrupting them in ways that create space for healthier choices, stronger relationships, and greater emotional freedom.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth. My role is to walk alongside you as you heal, gain clarity, and move toward a life that feels more authentic. Therapy is about more than symptom relief—it's about helping you align your choices with your values so your life reflects what matters most to you, even when circumstances are difficult.

What Therapy is NOT…

Therapy isn't about being judged, criticized, or told what to do. You are the expert on your own life, and my role is not to provide all the answers or "fix" you. Instead, I offer guidance, support, and evidence-based strategies while honoring your autonomy and lived experience.

Therapy also isn't a quick fix or a guarantee that life will become free of pain or uncertainty. Meaningful growth takes time, patience, and willingness to practice new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding. Some sessions may involve processing difficult experiences, while others may focus on building skills, solving current challenges, or celebrating progress. Growth is rarely linear, but every step forward matters.

Above all, therapy is a partnership. Together, we'll create a space where you can better understand yourself, break free from patterns that no longer serve you, strengthen your relationships, and build a life that is grounded in your values rather than driven by fear, old wounds, or survival patterns.
