We Are Relationship Specialists

We are relationship-trained clinicians, not generalists who see couples.

Our practice is built around licensed Marriage and Family Therapists and therapists with extensive, advanced training in couples therapy.

Marriage and Family Therapists are educated from day one to think systemically, relationally, and attachment-focused. Their entire clinical lens is trained on:

• Relationship patterns, not just individual symptoms
• Attachment bonds, not just coping skills
• Interactional cycles, not just communication tips
• Repair, not just insight

Most general mental health programs offer one course in couples or family therapy.
MFT programs are entirely built around it.

That difference matters.

We treat the relationship, not just the people in it.

In individual therapy, the client is the person.

In couples therapy, the “client” is the relationship itself.

That requires specialized training to:

• Track two nervous systems at once
• Interrupt destructive cycles in real time
• Prevent sessions from becoming re-traumatizing debates
• Work with power, pursuer-distancer dynamics, and attachment injuries
• Create emotional safety while addressing real accountability
• Help couples experience each other differently, not just understand each other better

Without this training, couples sessions often become:

• Communication coaching
• Venting with a referee
• Insight without change
• Or subtle alignment with one partner

We don’t do surface-level couples work.
We do bond-repair work.

Our therapists don’t just “see couples.” They specialize in them.

Every clinician here has:

• A relational graduate-level training background
• Ongoing advanced education in couples modalities
• Deep experience working with long-term patterns, not just situational conflict
• A practice that centers couples, not one that fits them in between individual clients

This allows us to work effectively with:

• Repeating conflict cycles
• Emotional and sexual disconnection
• Betrayal and attachment injuries
• Power struggles and resentment
• Desire discrepancies
• Parenting strain and life-stage transitions
• “We love each other but can’t reach each other anymore” relationships

We don’t just aim for better communication.

We aim for:

• Emotional safety
• Secure attachment
• Nervous-system regulation between partners
• Restored trust in the bond
• And a relationship that feels like a place of support again, not a battlefield or a business meeting

Because lasting change in couples doesn’t come from scripts.

It comes from shifting the emotional and relational system the two of you are living inside.

If you’re looking for therapy that truly understands relationships, not just people, you’re in the right place.

Therapist Spotlight: Nick Love, LMFT

"Sociologists and anthropologists insist that we are meant to be in relationships. But goodness, relationships can be hard! Like, "how do you fold a fitted sheet" hard. But just like with that sheet, even the toughest relationship issues are possible to figure out (even if it still looks a little messy or takes some time). As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years of experience helping individuals, couples and families tackle the "fitted sheets" in life, my goal is to help you get "unstuck" and to feel supported along the way.

Whether you are talking (or arguing) in circles, feeling disconnected, or feel like you need a GPS to navigate the emotional chaos, my job is to help you find clarity, connection, and confidence. Clients appreciate that I try to bring a sense of humor (when appropriate) to the work we do together, and that I am approachable, down to earth, and focus on making sure everyone in the room has a voice and feels validated and understood. I incorporate tools from a variety of therapeutic models, such as Emotionally Focused Therapy, Structural Family Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Attachment Theory. However, I recognize that every client/couple is unique, and we will work together to find a style that resonates with you.

I welcome all couples and specialize in high conflict relationships, communication breakdowns, couples feeling "in a rut", infidelity/affairs, intimacy/sexual relationships, parent-child related concerns, and working with adoptive parents, blended families, co-parenting relationships, and LGBTQ+ relationships. I look forward to partnering with you as we navigate the fitted sheet folding together."
