Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 40 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Shelly Melroe
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Behind the scenes, you and your partner have been redefining your relationship on a continual basis. Unfortunately, this is most often done implicitly and sits under the radar. Relationship therapy with Shelly involves bringing the unspoken into conversation, recognizing that you each have a life journey that has shaped to be experiencing the conflict, confusion, and/or crisis that you are currently experiencing. Shelly will guide you to understand how the dysregulation within each of you is linked to the dysregulation between you, so that you can reshape your dynamics for an empowering balance of coregulation and self-regulation to be with each other in a rhythm of living through ups and downs, treasures and stressors. Shelly's perspective on our innate needs for connection and protection provide a unique, compassionate, and empowering approach to resolving challenges with sexual intimacy and power struggles that are prevalent in unhealthy relationships.
