Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Craig Springer
Psychologist, PhD
I recognize how central relationships are to one’s health and well-being. I also understand how painful it can be when we have difficulties establishing or maintaining relationships or when we have difficulties in a particular relationship. The ability to maintain harmonious personal connections is not necessarily easy. Because of its inherent difficulty, many people encounter high levels of relational stress and may even experience a complete cut off from others.
The good news is that even though developing meaningful and healthy relationships requires a specific set of skills, which can be learned. Those who can improve their style of communication can bring about profound improvement in the level of closeness, support and satisfaction in their relationships and consequently experience greater happiness in their lives.
I can work with you to provide the tools necessary to improve communication and establish more intimate connections. I begin by examining your patterns of interactions to determine what is causing or maintaining your interpersonal conflicts or leaving you feeling detached. Next, I will guide you through practices that will teach you how to improve your relationship style and connections with others.

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.

Alan Jacobson, Psy.D.
Psychologist, Licensed Psychologist, Nationally Registered Health Service Provider
I provide couples therapy to partners who want to deepen their relationship and overcome challenges. In some cases, an event has shaken the relationship; in others, couples want to work on making their bond the best it can be. Marriage counseling can make a huge difference, whether there are significant issues or just a feeling that things could be (or have been) better. Marriage counseling and relationship therapy often shows relatively fast results.

Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Norma J. Perez
Psychologist, PhD
I have been married over 43 years so I can tell you, relationships are hard but so worth it. I love working with couples to help them realize what really is normal and messy and how to navigate normal and messy. I will listen to you and your partner describe what each of you see as an issue, then hear your examples and teach each of you how you can approach the situation differently to give you a better outcome. Couples come in thinking they are going to tell me everything that is wrong with their partner and to fix them. I help individuals realize how their own actions can change the outcome. Once everyone focuses on doing their own work, then they see the desired outcome in the relationship. It sounds uncomfortable, but it's really a lot of fun and we laugh a lot.

Grace in the Shadows
Licensed Professional Counselor, PhD, MDiv, MA, NCMHC, ALMHC, VALMHC
I approach relationship and marriage counseling with a holistic and faith-centered perspective, integrating psychological insights with Christian principles to guide couples toward healthier and more fulfilling relationships. Recognizing the significance of marriage in Christian teachings, I create a safe and supportive space for couples to explore their challenges, fostering communication and understanding. Incorporating biblical teachings on love, forgiveness, and commitment, I integrate prayer, scriptural reflection, and discussions on marital virtues into the therapeutic process. I collaborate with couples to address specific issues, offering evidence-based techniques alongside spiritual guidance to navigate conflicts and promote relational growth. This integrated approach seeks to strengthen the marital bond, help couples align their actions with their Christian values, and foster a deeper connection that withstands the challenges of life within the context of their faith.
