Amy-Noelle Shih
Licensed Professional Counselor, Relationship Therapist and Life Coach, LPC, MA
I am a relationship coach and therapist, with an intuitive gift for working with relational dynamics.
What I have learned as a relationship coach and therapist and as a human soul who loves LOVE and the magic of healthy relationships is that it’s not enough to:
❤️love spending time together
❤️share values
❤️have good chemistry
❤️laugh together
❤️have good conversation
❤️genuinely enjoy one another’s company
❤️admire each other’s qualities
❤️feel love.
Yes, all of this is very important.
But if there is a deficit in body intelligence, heart attunement, healthy emotional vulnerability, and self-awareness, the issue will almost always be the same.
Partners may believe the issue is the breakdown of one of the things mentioned above. When the truth is, even the “masters of relationships” have challenges, ruptures, moments of feeling hurt, disappointed, misunderstood. What becomes the salve of reconciliation is the capacity to gain understanding, for deep care of another’s feelings, and a genuine desire to find the sweet spot where empathy and validation become antidotes to stuckness.
As soon as one feels seen and heard, pent-up energy is released, defenses soften, and there is more love, freeing up the barriers to seeking ways to work it out. Which is to say, loving understanding is the solution to finding solutions!
When partners can feel like their feelings and what's on their hearts is worthy of being held with importance and tenderness, then everything becomes more possible. There is new motivation, receptivity, and selfless energy that fills the space between partners. Growth, feeling close, and deeper trust are forged beautifully.
But if partners have fragile egos, cannot practice healthy control of their reactions, choose communication patterns that create more distance and suffering, are not willing to see their part in conflict, and allow their own stories and assumptions to rule their hearts and minds rather than compassionate understanding, then growth and change stall and stagnate.
Without self-awareness and course correction, even what is great about the relationship starts to recede into the background as the pain and disappointment get louder and take center stage, until only negativity seems to run the show.

Claire Cooper
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Do you feel stuck in unchanging patterns, longing for transformation in your relationships but unsure how to achieve it? When obstacles keep us from moving forward, it can heighten anxiety, depression, and negative self-beliefs. In therapy, we’ll work together to identify these barriers and create a personalized treatment plan to help you or your relationships break free from stagnation. Whether through individual, couple, or family therapy, I draw on attachment and family systems theories, integrating DBT, CBT, EFT, and psychodynamic psychotherapy as needed to fit your unique situation. My goal is to support you in fostering meaningful, lasting change.

Rachel Eddins
Counselor/Therapist, MEd, LPC
If you are looking for guidance with anxiety, fears, depression, or trauma and ptsd, it takes courage to ask for help. Admitting you can’t do everything on your own, is the first step toward achieving wellness in a fast-paced, demanding world.
You are an expert on your situation. You understand it better than anyone because you are always in it, but when was the last time you stepped away to look at it from a new perspective? My approach is focused on helping you feel that you are whole, capable, enough, and doing your best - because you are.
Maybe, you just need some new skills to cope with all that goes on in your life. What you have learned in life never covered this. Or, perhaps, you've been feeling stuck in the same cycle of symptoms and are ready to try new skills to gain relief. We will work together to implement practical skills, create new habits, and get you moving again.
My approach is more active. I will be an active participant in your healing journey. Together, we will identify your most important goals and needs and work on a plan to get you there.

Jonathan Hock -- Men's Work
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I work with men who feel stuck, burned out, or disconnected from themselves, often after years of carrying responsibility, stress, or unresolved trauma alone. Many of the men I see have learned to keep pushing forward without stopping to reflect. As a U.S. Army veteran, I understand that mindset firsthand. Over time, this can lead to emotional numbness, irritability, and a loss of direction or purpose. My approach is existential, blending psychotherapy with enduring philosophical ideas to help you make sense of yourself, your relationships, and your place in the world.
Our work will focus on self-responsibility, recognizing your limitations, and enacting your personal freedom. I guide men to face what they’ve been avoiding, reconnect with their values, and respond to life with intention. With compassion and honesty, I offer no shortcuts. Together, we'll face difficult truths without ignoring the realities of your life.
Your distress isn’t evidence that something is wrong with you, it is often a signal that something meaningful is asking for your attention. Together, we slow down, make sense of it, and decide what kind of life you want to lead. If you’re ready to stop reacting to life, understand yourself more deeply, and take intentional steps forward, please reach out.
