Stephanie Marks
Hypnotherapist, MA
Do you feel frustrated and stuck in patterns of relating with your partner and want to find greater satisfaction in your significant relationships? The quality of our relationships occupy a central importance in our lives and deeply affect our states of being and how we experience ourselves in the world. From the moment we are conceived we share life with another and from there on all our subsequent relationships are shaped by these early relating experiences. Examining and delving deeply into our patterns of relating can free us from the familiar constraints of who we identity as being in the context of others and our relationship to ourselves. All of our relationships stimulate many feelings and often old hurts and patterns of relating to others that can often be difficult to navigate. I feel confident that I can help you to find a life that is filled with greater satisfaction, emotional stability and improved relationships. In our work together, we will examine patterns of relating that have become outdated and no longer serve the same function as they used to and aim towards finding new ways of being and relating to bring about more harmony in your life and relationships. I offer therapy to couples, married and not-married and anyone looking to repair any relationship.

Make Marriage Better
Psychologist, Ph.D.
At Make Marriage Better, we specialize in relationship and marriage coaching, recognizing that every partnership is a unique journey filled with both joys and challenges. Our approach focuses on identifying the underlying fears driving the relationship issues, such as fear of abandonment, loss of intimacy, or fear of judgment. Using the Deconstructing Anxiety™ method, we guide couples to uncover their “chief defenses”—the emotional barriers that hinder open communication and connection. By encouraging partners to do the opposite of these defenses, we create a safe environment where they can express their feelings, build empathy, and foster understanding. This transformative process empowers couples to navigate conflicts more effectively, rebuild trust, and rekindle the love that initially brought them together. With our support, couples can strengthen their bonds, enhance their emotional intimacy, and create a more fulfilling relationship for the long term.

Jenna Sackman - Online/Virtual Therapy
Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC, LPC
*Free Consultation* Relationships are hard work and there is no perfect couple or perfect relationship. All healthy and sustainable relationships require some extra attention and tweaking from time to time, and therapy can be a great resource for couples going through a difficult time or just generally seeking feedback and support. I use the Gottman Method for Couples, which focuses on improving communication, increasing gratitude and affection, removing any barriers that stand in the way of deeper connection and intimacy, and creating more empathy and understanding between partners and the relationship as a whole. I love connecting with couples and helping them on their journey to a healthy and meaningful partnership that can survive and thrive amidst the difficulties that life inevitably throws our way.

Daniel Minuchin
Marriage and Family Therapist, M.A, LMFT
Problems in relationships are one of the major issues that impact on people’s lives. Much of my work is with couples. Just having a place to talk about issues with a third person present is helpful. It can allow people to discuss difficult issues without it becoming conflictual. Couples are often caught in repetitive patterns, and have stopped listening to each other. Couples therapy can help people to identify and modify those patterns . It can also help people to understand how their different upbringings inform some of the difference# that lead to conflict. And help people to see how they have misinterpreted their partners behavior.
