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.

Mike Kosim
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
If you're looking for a better way of relating, either through couples work or individually, I can help. If you and your spouse /partner are looking back and seeing a repeating cycle of negativity, I help with Emotionally Focused Counseling for couples (EFT-c). If there's been infidelity and I can help with Affair Recovery - a specific process prior to the start of couples or marriage counseling. If you are at the brink of your relationship, I can help them with discernment counseling. Discernment helps couples clarify if they want to go one of three directions: keep everything the same, amicably break up, or dedicating the next 6 months to working on the relationship through couples or marriage counseling. DIscernment really strives to just help that clarity.
If you are an individual who wants to do your relationship differently, but either are in between relationships, or have an unwilling spouse or partner, I help in the following ways:
1. Really understand the root cause of the conflict or growing apart in the relationship.
2. Possibly do trauma work around those root causes using EMDR, Guided meditation, and family of origin work.
3. Understand how to communicate what you understand about your partner's or spouse's experience that may be helpful in healing.
4. Invite your partner into couples counseling.
