Couples Counseling
Your relationship matters, and finding the right help is key. At Matters of the Heart, we support couples facing challenges like:
• Conflict and avoidance
• Infidelity and trust issues
• Communication struggles
• Intimacy concerns (ex: purity culture, involuntary celibacy, etc)
• Pre-marital prep or post-divorce co-parenting
• Non traditional relationships (ex: ethical non-monogamy, polyamory, etc)
Our Marriage and Family Therapists (LMFT/MMFT) are systemically trained to address the root causes of relational struggles. MFT's are trained to look below the presenting issues like betrayal or "communicaton issues" and dig to the deeper patterns and protective strategies learned as early as childhood that are KEEPING you DISCONNECTED from your partner.
Additionally, many of our clinicians (MFT's & LPC's) have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Clinically proven to be the Gold Standard for Couples Counseling, or The Gottman Method to expertly handle relationship complexities.
If your therapist isn’t the right fit, we’ll help you find the best provider. Your relationship deserves expert care. Let’s move forward, together.

"We fight hardest for the things that matter the most to us. Our intimate relationships have the ability to leave us feeling the most exposed and vulnerable as well as the most safe and secure. And I'm willing to come beside you and stay in the fight for your marriage, because that goal for safety and connection with your person is WORTH IT!"
Using her training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, EFT, the Gold Standard for treating Relationships, in Attachment Therapy, Joanna digs in deep to help couples understand not just HOW to fight fair, but why we're even fighting. Getting couples to sit in the pit with one another and face that vulnerable and often scary space as an opportunity to truly be known by your partner... Maybe even for the first time.

Connection, security, support, trust, intimacy, respect, belonging, passion.…all things we yearn for in our relationships.
Whatever your needs and goals for couples therapy, Becky's goal is to equip you with skills and confidence to navigate the journey back to the kind of compassionate, engaged, enthusiastic partnership you crave. Putting in the work, together, to develop insight in a safe space furthers your understanding of your partner, enriches your partnership, and is an investment in the future of your relationship.
To speak, and be heard.
To find your voice and advocate for yourself while still having compassion for those around you.
These are some things that are a natural byproduct of your time in working with Kristen.
Kristen is a skilled listener and enjoys the process of working with others to find creative solutions to life’s difficult problems. She is passionate about working with her clients through challenging life adjustments, anxiety, depression, and codependency.
As a couple's therapist, Mandy helps identify patterns within relationships that are unhelpful and contribute to disconnection. To provide more insight about the defense mechanisms that each partner uses and why, Mandy dives into how the family history of each person worked in the past and present.
First, it's important to understand why we react the way we do, becoming familiar with our triggers. Those triggers set off our most painful feelings and fears. After identifying those, we are then able to relate and interact with our loved one with more honesty, openness, and love.
Lindsay utilizes an EFT approach to help couples better understand themselves and each other, create healthier communication, and form a stronger emotional connection.

Movement is the goal that Alex wants to cultivate with couples. So often in relationships, couples get stuck. Stuck in pain, hurt, or routine, couples can find themselves not being able to connect with each other like they once did.
This lack of connection creates tension that keeps couples of all kinds stuck in their ways. Alex’s belief is that if momentum can be created for a relationship, a new path can be forged.

As a couple's therapist, Mandy helps identify patterns within relationships that are unhelpful and contribute to disconnection. To provide more insight about the defense mechanisms that each partner uses and why, Mandy dives into how the family history of each person worked in the past and present.
First, it's important to understand why we react the way we do, becoming familiar with our triggers. Those triggers set off our most painful feelings and fears. After identifying those, we are then able to relate and interact with our loved one with more honesty, openness, and love.

"We fight hardest for the things that matter the most to us. Our intimate relationships have the ability to leave us feeling the most exposed and vulnerable as well as the most safe and secure. And I'm willing to come beside you and stay in the fight for your marriage, because that goal for safety and connection with your person is WORTH IT!"
Using her training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, EFT, the Gold Standard for treating Relationships, in Attachment Therapy, Joanna digs in deep to help couples understand not just HOW to fight fair, but why we're even fighting. Getting couples to sit in the pit with one another and face that vulnerable and often scary space as an opportunity to truly be known by your partner... Maybe even for the first time.

Connection, security, support, trust, intimacy, respect, belonging, passion.…all things we yearn for in our relationships.
Whatever your needs and goals for couples therapy, Becky's goal is to equip you with skills and confidence to navigate the journey back to the kind of compassionate, engaged, enthusiastic partnership you crave. Putting in the work, together, to develop insight in a safe space furthers your understanding of your partner, enriches your partnership, and is an investment in the future of your relationship.
As a marriage and family therapist, Nicole's approach is whole-person centered with a systems approach. We look not just at the problem, but how the problem began. Nicole provides a safe environment to share and process while digging in to family history and patterns that have formed over time and need deconstructing and rebuilding.
If you are struggling with relational disconnect, communication, codependency, disaffection or boundary setting please
Nicole's approach is full of wisdom and warmth, and she welcomes you into your journey.
To speak, and be heard.
To find your voice and advocate for yourself while still having compassion for those around you.
These are some things that are a natural byproduct of your time in working with Kristen.
Kristen is a skilled listener and enjoys the process of working with others to find creative solutions to life’s difficult problems. She is passionate about working with her clients through challenging life adjustments, anxiety, depression, and codependency.
Lindsay utilizes an EFT approach to help couples better understand themselves and each other, create healthier communication, and form a stronger emotional connection.

Movement is the goal that Alex wants to cultivate with couples. So often in relationships, couples get stuck. Stuck in pain, hurt, or routine, couples can find themselves not being able to connect with each other like they once did.
This lack of connection creates tension that keeps couples of all kinds stuck in their ways. Alex’s belief is that if momentum can be created for a relationship, a new path can be forged.

Movement is the goal that Alex wants to cultivate with couples. So often in relationships, couples get stuck. Stuck in pain, hurt, or routine, couples can find themselves not being able to connect with each other like they once did.
This lack of connection creates tension that keeps couples of all kinds stuck in their ways. Alex’s belief is that if momentum can be created for a relationship, a new path can be forged.
