When it comes to relationships, there’s more than one side to the story. Therapists experienced in working with couples know the struggles that go on behind closed doors.

Nour Counseling
Counselor/Therapist
Relationships are often where our deepest patterns show up—how we communicate, how we handle conflict, how we give and receive care, and how we navigate closeness and space. Whether you’re feeling disconnected, stuck in repeated arguments, trying to rebuild trust, or wanting to strengthen an already solid relationship, it can be hard to step outside of the patterns you’re in. Add in cultural expectations about what relationships “should” look like, and it can get even harder to figure out what actually works for you.
At Nour Counseling, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach to relationships. We work with you (and your partner[s], if applicable) to understand the dynamics at play and actively build more effective ways of communicating, repairing, and connecting. This includes identifying patterns, strengthening emotional awareness, and creating structures that support the relationship you actually want—not just what’s been modeled or expected. We also offer pre-marital and pre–long-term commitment counseling, helping you have the conversations that matter before taking that next step.
We are explicitly affirming of diverse relationship structures, including non-monogamy and polyamory, and we are kink-affirming in our work. We understand these are not interchangeable, and we approach each with respect, clarity, and without pathologizing. This is collaborative, honest work focused on helping your relationship feel more intentional, more connected, and more aligned with your values.

Annie Harton Kassell
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
Most couples do not come to me in a crisis. They come in tired. The same argument on a loop, the roommate feeling, the distance that crept in so slowly neither of you can name when it started. I use the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you get underneath the fight to what you are each actually asking for. The goal is not to win. The goal is to feel like a team again.
The best time to build a strong marriage is before you are standing in the hard part. Premarital work with me is not a box to check before the wedding. It is real conversation about money, family, faith, intimacy, and the expectations you each brought without knowing it. You will leave with a shared language for the seasons you cannot see yet.

Maria Barber
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
I specialize in helping couples understand the deeper patterns that shape their relationship—why you get stuck in the same arguments, why distance grows even when you care deeply, and how old protective strategies show up between you. My work is grounded, structured, and emotionally attuned, offering a calm space where both partners feel seen and supported.
Whether you’re navigating recurring conflict, communication breakdowns, emotional disconnection, or a major turning point in your relationship, I help you slow down, understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and build new ways of relating that feel more connected and sustainable.
I offer weekly couples therapy, extended sessions for more spacious work, and private couples intensives for partners who want focused, accelerated progress. My approach blends Imago Relationship Therapy with Bowen and other systemic models, helping you move from reactive cycles into more conscious, compassionate connection.
If you’re ready to strengthen your relationship, repair what’s been hurt, or build a healthier foundation for the future, I provide a steady, supportive space for meaningful change.
