Sara Fraser
Psychologist, PhD
Childhood patterns often emerge in the context of our intimate love relationships. Work to identify and unpack these can be very helpful at bringing these into awareness and helping folks choose rather than react. Core themes in relationship work include differentiation and taking responsibility for self-regulation emotionally which can set the stage for true intimacy as opposed to tangled patterns of reactivity.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC, SCMHC, FLMHC, KYMHC, IDMHC
I approach relationship and marriage counseling with a holistic and faith-centered perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide couples toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Recognizing the significance of marriage in Christian teachings, I create a safe and supportive space for couples to explore their challenges, fostering communication and understanding. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, forgiveness, and commitment, I integrate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on marital virtues into the therapeutic process. I collaborate with couples to address specific issues, offering evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual guidance to navigate conflicts and promote relational growth. This integrated approach seeks to strengthen the marital bond, help couples align their actions with their Christian values, and foster a deeper connection that withstands the challenges of life within the context of their faith.

Dr. Shelley Sommerfeldt
Psychologist, Psy.D.
If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed by conflict, or just uncertain about the future of your marriage, relationship counseling can provide a safe space to rebuild trust, improve communication, and rediscover the love that brought you together. Relationship work is a core specialty of my practice, where I help couples improve communication, rebuild trust, and deepen intimacy. Through a compassionate and practical skill-building approach, I guide partners in resolving conflicts and creating a stronger, more fulfilling partnership grounded in understanding and mutual respect.
