Gabriel Arroyo
Marriage and Family Therapist, MS, LMFT
Within my relationship and marriage counseling, I utilize existing strengths that a couple may have forgotten about and lost sight of and teach new skills to improve their dynamics. Within couples counseling we can focus on improving intimacy dynamics, trust, and communication with the skills and exercises we will learn in couples counseling.

Marriage and Family Therapist, Marriage, Couples, LMFT. Psy.D. Trauma-Focused CBT
It is important to maintain positive attachments and validation of differences & diversity between partners, as well as, the time for forgiveness and letting go of negativity and hurt feelings. The initial love attraction can become stronger in time, as one's love comes with acceptance of one another.

Russell Wilkie
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT
Relationships are difficult. It takes many very unnatural behaviors to create a high-quality relationship. Improving your reactions to your partner is the most important aspect and, since it is the only thing you can control anyway, this is your work. Whether it's in a couple’s session or you do the work individually, you will need to improve yourself and your reactivity and become a better you. Too many couples enter my office and expect me to change their partner because they want relief from their negative interactions. I will always gently steer things back to what you can do to make things better. My style is solution oriented, where I will give you all the tools I can in order to reduce conflict and increase connection, making a better relationship.
