Restoring Connection: Couples & Family Therapy
Our practice provides a dedicated space for those navigating the complexities of modern relationships. With a focus on high-conflict systems and deep-seated relational patterns, we help clients move from discord to harmony.
Expertise in High-Conflict Systems
Specializing in work with couples and adolescents, our clinician focuses on family systems where tension and conflict have become the norm. He is deeply passionate about helping families navigate these "high-stakes" dynamics to find a path toward peace and mutual respect.
Freedom from Codependency & Shame
At the heart of this work is the belief that everyone deserves to be free from the weight of codependency and shame.
Regaining Your Life: We help you disentangle from unhealthy patterns so you can show up as your best self in your relationships.
Healing the "Self": By addressing shame, we create a foundation where real intimacy can finally grow.
Strengthening the Bond
We provide practical, evidence-based tools to address the core pillars of a healthy relationship:
Communication: Moving from defensive arguments to productive, empathetic dialogue.
Intimacy: Rebuilding the emotional and physical closeness that often gets lost in times of conflict.
Our Collaborative Process
As with all our services, your journey begins with a full assessment of the relationship or family system.
The Assessment: We meet to understand the current needs and dynamics of all parties involved.
Goal Alignment: We discuss and set clear goals together—whether that is improved communication, setting boundaries, or deepening intimacy.
The Roadmap: We agree on a clinical plan to reach those goals, ensuring every member of the system feels heard and supported.

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.

Melissa LaCour
Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Relationships are where most of our pain lives — and most of our growth happens. I work with individuals examining their relational patterns and with couples navigating conflict, communication breakdowns, and the slow drift that can occur even in loving relationships. My approach is honest and direct. I'm not interested in keeping the peace at the expense of the truth. I'm interested in helping people understand themselves well enough to show up differently in the relationships that matter most to them — romantic, family, or otherwise.

Margaret Light
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, CST
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I've been working with couples since my first day on the job. I know how a good relationship can strengthen us when times are tough whereas a strained relationship can make every day life so much more difficult. Clients find me when they're ready to be done fighting, feeling emotionally distant, & having less than ideal sex. If you feel torn between staying & leaving, are trapped in patterns of pursuit & withdrawal, or are tired of conflict that spirals out of control, I'm here to help.
