Dr. Kristyn Neckles
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Relationships can become strained even when love is still present. You may find yourselves having the same arguments, feeling more like roommates than partners, struggling to rebuild trust, or wondering how two people who care deeply about each other became so disconnected.
I help couples move beyond cycles of blame, defensiveness, avoidance, and ineffective communication to better understand what is happening beneath the conflict. Our work focuses not only on how you communicate, but on how each partner shows up in the relationship: the patterns you bring, the needs you may struggle to express, and the ways you respond when you feel hurt, unheard, or disconnected.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and gently direct. I believe healthy relationships require both self awareness and shared responsibility. Rather than focusing only on compromise, we work toward collaboration: learning how to honor two individual experiences while building a relationship in which both partners can feel seen, valued, emotionally safe, and connected.
Whether you are navigating recurring conflict, trust concerns, infidelity, intimacy challenges, life transitions, or simply want to strengthen your connection, therapy can provide a space to slow down, understand one another differently, repair what has been hurt, and intentionally choose what comes next.

Dr. Mike Strand
Psychologist, PsyD
Every couple faces challenges that can create distance instead of closeness, turning conversations into conflicts. I see the struggles behind silent dinners and unresolved disputes that linger like unwelcome guests. My couples therapy provides a bridge back to each other, offering tools for communication, understanding, and renewed connection in your relationship.

Tori Buckley
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPC
As an ambiamorous person myself, my clients regularly express a tremendous sense of relief not having to educate me on the lingo or having to fear that I'll think their relationship structure is the cause of their issues. I also assist clients in deciding if ethical non-monogamy is for them and supporting them in beginning their explorations of opening up. With all relationship counseling, it's important to find ways of building a bridge between differences in perspective, solidifying a foundation in trust and communication, and working towards all parties are living their best lives leading to enhancement of the relationship.

Dr. Anna Smith
Psychologist, PsyD, MEd, MA
When conflict, emotional distance, or the “roommate phase” takes over, it can feel like the connection you once had is slipping away. In couples therapy, we use Emotionally Focused Therapy to identify the negative cycles keeping you stuck, uncover the underlying emotions and needs, and help you reach for each other in ways that rebuild safety, trust, and closeness—both emotionally and sexually. Whether you want to repair, deepen, or simply understand your patterns better, this is a collaborative space to create the kind of marriage or relationship that feels good again.
