Bravura Therapy
Counselor/Therapist, LMFT, LCSW, LCPC
Committed relationships are hard. Sharing the ups and downs of life can be deeply connected and also strangely isolating. Relationships of any age can be difficult to manage based on the two individuals in them. We will build communication skills and understanding to reduce loneliness, worry, and anger that can arise when we feel disconnected from our person.

Gracie Orellano
Marriage and Family Therapist, ALMFT
With my background in Couple and Family Therapy, it is crucial to my work to understand the relational systems in your life. Families, blood-related and chosen, are the foundational examples for your values and emotional connection. For couples, these relational dynamics are how we learn vulnerability, fear, emotional expression, etc. Within our sessions, you can gain understanding of these generational patterns that are impacting your relationships and get to a place of honesty, communication and connection.

Dr. Jason Wang, Inflection Points Therapy
Psychologist, PhD
I offer strengths-based, topic-focused therapy for couples with a generally stable relationship foundation. This work can help partners understand one another more deeply, communicate more clearly about the topic, prepare thoughtfully for challenges, and approach important decisions with greater intentionality. Although I remain attentive to the broader context of your relationship, the specific area bringing you to therapy will remain the primary focus. If you are seeking therapy centered on the relationship as a whole or on concerns spanning multiple areas, comprehensive couples therapy with another provider may be a better fit.
My couples work is limited to three areas:
**Pre-marital or pre-commitment therapy** offers a guided, semi-structured opportunity to prepare for a life together. We may explore communication and conflict, trust and commitment, intimacy, values and expectations, identities and cultures, family and community, finances, careers, work-life balance, and your shared goals and vision for the relationship.
**Financial therapy for couples** focuses on the psychological, emotional, relational, and cultural dimensions of money. Our work may involve understanding each partner’s money history and beliefs, communicating more openly about finances, navigating differences in values or risk tolerance, addressing financial anxiety or avoidance, and approaching shared decisions more collaboratively and intentionally. This service is psychotherapy rather than financial planning or advising.
**LGBTQ+ family-building therapy for couples** supports partners who share a commitment to pursuing parenthood and want help choosing among or navigating possible paths to building their family. This may include assisted reproduction, surrogacy or gestational carrier arrangements, adoption, or other paths to parenthood. Therapy can help you clarify values and priorities, communicate about genetic or gestational connections and family roles, manage medical, legal, logistical, emotional, and financial demands, and navigate uncertainty or setbacks together. This is not discernment therapy focused on whether to become parents.
Across all three services, the goal is to help you engage the topic as a team while making room for each partner’s experiences, needs, values, identities, and perspectives.

Emily Hurlin
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LISW, LCSW
When couples come to me, they're often stuck in a loop: the same argument, the same hurt, the same retreat to separate corners. I use the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT), which I trained in directly under its founder, Dr. Stan Tatkin. We work with what happens between you in real time, so you learn how to calm each other, repair faster, and feel like a team again. I work with dating, engaged, married, and blended-family couples, and I welcome every orientation and relationship structure.
