**Personal Statement**
I am deeply passionate about helping couples find their way back to connection, safety, and genuine partnership. In my work, I use the Gottman Method alongside attachment-based approaches to give couples clear, research-supported tools that strengthen communication and rebuild trust.

Kelda Hartman
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I believe that no matter where you’ve been, what you’ve been through, or where you are currently, there is hope. I know that life can throw some crazy curve balls and I understand how painful and earth-shattering crisis can be. You may feel too weary to deal with what is happening (or you may be tired of always having to be so strong), but sometimes transformation can happen just by holding on. I would like to be the person who supports you in hanging on, even if the rope seems to be slipping through your fingers. Because I believe the future can look different than the present and the past. Things can change. So if you feel like giving up, please give me a call instead.
Like a tree, I believe that in order to change the fruit (what is currently going on in our life), we need to look at the root. You can pick every orange off an orange tree hoping it will grow apples, but unless you change the root, it will just keep growing oranges. I believe that if we can get to the “heart” (or root) of what is happening, you will see different fruit begin to develop. Because I believe that many of life’s struggles stem from wounds of the heart. I want to help wounded hearts heal. I enjoy working with people of all cultures, beliefs and backgrounds. For those who are interested in Christian Counseling, I am also trained in integrating God into that healing process.

Haley Rupe-Salazar
Marriage and Family Therapist, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist, AMFT
I have had a long-standing passion for psychology, which started in childhood. I have experienced challenges from early age including my parents' divorce, loss of family members and generational trauma coupled with my own journey through mental health, confidence and self-esteem. I have a passion to help people and understand the challenges and uncertainty life brings. I understand how important it is to provide compassion and understanding when processing life challenges. There are times when we believe that our past defines us, labels or that change is not possible. Currently, I work with children, teens, young adults and adults to identify their struggles and hurts and help them find out who they are, where that comes from and replace them with truths.

Dr. Trevor Alleman
Psychologist, PsyD, MA
Pain is an inevitable part of life, but mental suffering can be reduced. Suffering occurs when anxiety takes over our thoughts and actions. We become anxious about facing our fears, so we avoid them. We're anxious about letting others get close, so we isolate ourselves. Psychotherapy offers way out of these avoidant patterns. While we can't prevent difficulties and tragedies, we can learn to manage our emotional reactions to external events and relationships. Self-empowerment comes from finding the courage to confront our inner world, regardless of how complicated and messy it may be.
