Nathan Ely, LMFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MDiv, LMFT
I have worked with hundreds of couples over the years and using Gottman Therapy and EFT (Emotion Focused Therapy), my goal is to improve empathy and communication. My hope is to give couples the tools to thrive and have a healthier understanding of themselves and their partners. The better we are for ourselves, the better we can be for everyone else. Breaking the cycles of dysfunction take time, but once we understand what is driving the pain, we can move toward a place of peace.

Jessie Davis
Marriage and Family Therapist, AMFT, MA
Relationships don't come with instruction manuals. I help couples break free from the cycles that leave them feeling disconnected, rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and create a relationship where both partners feel seen, valued, and emotionally secure.

Shirley Johnson,
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CYT
Couples therapy focuses on communication, emotional safety, sexual connection, and breaking repetitive conflict cycles. I help partners move from blame to understanding and from distance to deeper connection. We will work a lot on learning to communicate and remembering that even though we may "know" are partners to remain curious about one another and how to share and take in each other with newness.

Chris Tickner
Marriage and Family Therapist, PhD, MFT
Couples counseling is a powerful way to work! I incorporate my 25 years of experience in the field, along with mindfulness, Hakomi, and the work of Stan Tatkin (PACT - the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy) to form a safe, compassionate, and transformative space for you and your partner. My work with couples is potent, with sessions usually lasting two hours. As a result, the overall number of sessions is fewer than with traditional couples therapy.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counselor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Sexual issues can cause profound problems for both parties in a relationship. This is particularly true if there has been a discovery of secrets or betrayal. There are 3 recoveries in these cases: his, hers and the coupleship.
The issues of trust, betrayal, lying, gaslighting etc. need to be faced to be repaired. I help couples with communication skills as well as methods of dealing with trauma and its aftermath. Trust and intimacy can be restored over time.

Anthony Canapi - Your Queer Relationship Therapist
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, AMFT
Relationships can bring immense joy, and also activate our deepest wounds. You may find yourselves stuck in the same arguments, navigating trust after betrayal, struggling with mismatched needs, exploring non-monogamy, or simply feeling disconnected.
My approach to couples work is collaborative and relational. We slow down patterns rather than blame each other. Together, we’ll examine communication dynamics, attachment styles, boundaries, intimacy, sexual connection, and shared meaning. I work affirmatively with LGBTQ+ couples and diverse relationship structures, honoring that there is no single “right” way to love- only what feels aligned and mutually respectful for you.
Whether you’re dating, engaged, married, or redefining your partnership, therapy can help you move from reactivity toward intentional connection.
