Christina Walthers
Counselor/Therapist, MS, LPC
You can love each other deeply and still struggle to reach each other.
Relationships can get caught in familiar patterns. Conversations turn into arguments, one person pursues while the other pulls away, or the same hurts surface again and again. Sometimes you know what you want to communicate, but when emotions run high, it's hard to find your way back to one another.
My approach to couples therapy is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), which helps couples understand the emotional patterns shaping their relationship and develop new ways of connecting. Communication tools and relationship skills can be valuable, but they're often difficult to access when we're overwhelmed, hurt, or feeling disconnected. EFT helps us look beneath the conflict to understand what's happening emotionally and what each person may be longing for but struggling to express. From there, we can begin creating new ways of responding to one another that make room for greater trust, openness, and emotional connection.
Our work isn't about deciding who's right or teaching you to avoid conflict. It's about understanding the cycle you get caught in, finding new ways to reach each other, and building a relationship where both people feel heard, valued, and emotionally connected. The goal isn't to never get stuck, but to find your way back to each other when you do.

Annie Phannick
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
A couples session is less about "who is right" and more about what is happening between you. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), we work to identify the negative cycles, the "loops", that leave you both feeling frustrated or alone.

Sheri Hardin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Let’s face it…being in a committed long-term relationship can be hard. Arguments can be recurring. Distance can take up too much space between you to where you feel like nothing but roommates. I can help you reconnect and find the love for each other again, or help you resolve your disagreements, learn how to fight productively, or heal betrayals or resentments.

Mikela Hallmark
Therapist, MS, LPC, LMHC
Most couples don’t come to therapy because they’re broken — they come because something vital between them has gone quiet, sharp, or out of reach. Maybe you keep having the same argument that never resolves. Maybe there’s distance, resentment, or rupture. Maybe you love each other, but you’ve forgotten how to reach one another.
I help couples slow down the cycle, so we can hear what’s actually being said underneath the defensiveness, silence, or blame. My work is rooted in emotional attunement, honest communication, and the belief that conflict, when held skillfully, can become a doorway to deeper intimacy.
This is not about who’s right. It’s about what’s real — and how each of you learned to protect yourselves in ways that now get in the way of closeness. Together, we practice new ways of relating that create safety, connection, and clarity — even in the hard moments.
Whether you're rebuilding trust, navigating a major transition, or simply wanting to feel close again, this is a place where your relationship can breathe, grow, and be truly seen.
