Glenn Sample
Psychologist, Psy.D., MSCP
Relationships can be a source of connection and support, but they can also bring communication difficulties, conflict, misunderstandings, and emotional stress. Couples counseling provides an opportunity to slow down, better understand each other, and work toward healthier patterns of interaction.
I work collaboratively with couples to explore the patterns that contribute to conflict and identify opportunities for improved communication, understanding, and connection. Using CBT and DBT-informed approaches, we can work on emotional regulation, effective communication, problem-solving, boundaries, and other skills that can strengthen relationships.
The goal is not to assign blame, but to create a supportive environment where both partners can be heard, understood, and actively participate in creating positive change.

I enjoy working with couples looking to deepen their connection, heal from relational wounds, and communicate better. I have helped couples who are preparing for marriage work through difficulties and stressor so that they can move into their married lives feeling closer and more secure.

Dr. Jacob Lebar
Psychologist, PhD, JD
This is a secondary specialization of mine. Relationship stress is common in those dealing with primary mental health concerns. My specialty here is in the facilitation of communication, teaching communication tools, increasing insight on when the present emotions are too high and what to do about that. I also help my clients who have partners with mental health concern themselves and how to best communicate how those issues may impact them and the partnership as a whole.

Psychologist, PsyD
I firmly believe that relationships are central to our well-being and specialize in helping others to understand their relational patterns, strengthen their communication, and feel closer to those they care about. To do so, we can explore how your internal narratives lead you to certain assumptions and behaviors within your relationship, as well as ending sessions with identified skills to practice so that you leave feeling confident. Call me for a free phone consultation so that we can decide if I'm the right fit for you!
