Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Every couple faces challenges that can create distance instead of closeness, turning conversations into conflicts. I see the struggles behind silent dinners and unresolved disputes that linger like unwelcome guests. My couples therapy provides a bridge back to each other, offering tools for communication, understanding, and renewed connection in your relationship.

Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 43 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.

Dr. Desiree S. Howell
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Exploring strengths and challenges using the PREPARE/ENRICH program with premarital couples can illuminate areas to celebrate and ones to nurture. Happy couples looking to improve their connection, communication style, affection, sex life, pleasure, joy, and emotional safety can also benefit greatly from counseling. I am poly, kink, ENM, and LGBTQ+ affirming.

Carmalyn Lashley
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Relationships and marriages can be a source of great joy and fulfillment, but they can also be a source of stress and conflict. As a therapist, I understand the complexities of relationships and the challenges that couples may face. My approach to treating relationship and marriage issues is based on evidence-based techniques such as Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method. These techniques help couples to understand and express their emotions, to communicate effectively, and to develop deeper connections. I work with couples to identify patterns of behavior that may be causing difficulties in their relationship and to develop new ways of interacting that promote understanding and connection. I also help couples to identify and work through underlying issues that may be contributing to their difficulties. My goal is to support couples in improving their relationships and finding greater satisfaction and fulfillment in their lives together.
