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.

We are a social species. We need human connection. Healthy human connection. Relationships can be a place to foster growth as individuals and as a unit. Finding the right words to communicate your experience and learning to hear others languages is critical to having satisfying and meaningful relationships.

Alana Morazzini
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Relationships are some of the most meaningful — and most challenging — parts of our lives. I specialize in couples therapy and relationship counseling, helping partners deepen their communication, navigate conflict with more ease, and heal the wounds that can quietly build over time. I draw on the Developmental Model of couples therapy, which offers a reassuring roadmap: it helps couples understand why certain patterns of conflict arise, and more importantly, how to break free from them and build lasting connection.

Sarah Wagner LMFT Corp
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, MBA
Conflict in relationships often reflects deeper developmental patterns shaped long before the partnership began. I integrate IFS, attachment-based models, and EFT to help couples understand how early relational experiences influence current dynamics.
Together, we slow down reactive cycles, strengthen emotional regulation, and build secure attachment within the relationship. Therapy provides a structured, supportive environment for repair, accountability, and renewed connection.

Anders Greenwood
Psychologist, Psy.D, Ph.D.
I enjoy helping clients accept and like themselves, organize around strengths, achieve greater emotional presence, think clearly, and let go of shame, guilt and old habits of emotional survival. I believe therapy should lead to better decisions, as well as improved quality of life and relationships.

Rinat Kass
Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Relationships are a crucial component to our well being and fulfillment in life. Unfortunately, most of us did not have good role models while growing up to show us how to successfully navigate the conflicts and challenges that every relationship is bound to experience. Thankfully, it is never too late to learn how to build healthy and meaningful relationships. In our work together, I will lean on years of studying relationships and the best ways to help people create fulfilling connections.
