Luciana C. Silva
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, LMFT
Couple therapy is most successful when each person focuses on changing themselves, not the other person. When working with couples, I integrate family systems theory into the framework of Gottman Method to help couples contextualize the problems they are dealing with in the larger context of both of their families of origin. This approach makes it possible to systematically explore the resources and limitations each person brings to the relationship so as to clarify each individual's part of the problem and unique opportunity for more thoughtful (less automatic) action towards goals.

Lauren Chavis
Psychologist, PsyD, PMH-C
Relationships can become stuck in painful cycles of conflict, disconnection, defensiveness, or repeated misunderstandings. I work with couples to identify the patterns underneath their conflicts, communicate more effectively, rebuild emotional connection, and address concerns such as trust, intimacy, life transitions, and differing needs within the relationship.

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. Megan Marks
Psychologist, PhD
Even strong relationships can get stuck. You may find yourselves having the same argument on repeat, feeling more like roommates than partners, or struggling to communicate without shutting down or blowing up. Whether you're navigating a major life transition, healing from a rupture, or simply trying to feel closer again, relationship counseling can help.
At The Momentum Practice, I work with couples and individuals to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, deepen emotional connection, and move through conflict with more care and clarity. I also offer pre-marital counseling to support couples in building a strong foundation for partnership. I welcome all relationship structures—married, partnered, dating, LGBTQ+, monogamous, poly, or somewhere in between—and provide a nonjudgmental space for the real-life complexities of love, including identity shifts, parenting stress, and differing needs for closeness and independence.
My work is informed by Gottman principles, Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), all grounded in practical, evidence-based tools. I also specialize in supporting neurodivergent couples and relationships where one or both partners are navigating ADHD or anxiety. Together, we’ll uncover patterns that keep you feeling disconnected, strengthen your relational resilience, and build tools that support both connection and self-understanding.
With over 15 years of experience, I offer a collaborative, compassionate space where both partners can feel seen, supported, and equipped—whether you're working to reconnect or seeking clarity about your next steps. Let’s work together to move your relationship toward more meaning, ease, and connection. Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation!
