Welcome to Rise In Love Counseling.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably looking for help with a relationship, either with yourself, or with your partner. Maybe you’ve even been looking for a long time, but what if we told you ...everything you need has been there all along.
We invite you to get curious,
and keep reading to find out more.
Our Services:
Individual Therapy
Wherever you are on the path to healing and growth, we’ll meet you there. Drawing from a deep well of trauma-informed interventions, you can trust that we are able to walk you gently through even the most difficult of journeys.
With certifications in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Imago Relationship Therapy and clinical hypnotherapy, we offer a range of approaches that can be tailored to your unique needs.
Couples Therapy
If you’ve made it this far, congratulations! Sometimes it seems that making the choice to look for help is the hardest part of the process. We are committed to providing you with a safe and nurturing environment to reimagine your relationship, reconnect with your partner, and renew your vision.
2-Day Intensive Couple's Therapy
We offer in-office, virtual, and in-home couple’s work. For certain relationships, our intensive approach works the best. This 2 day program is the equivalent of 6 to 8 therapy sessions and is often very helpful for couples in crisis.
Seminars
The benefits of working in the Imago framework aren’t exclusive to romantic couples! Business, religious organizations, schools, and social groups can grow their relational skills and build deeper connections through the Imago process.
Sex Therapy
Integrating Imago principles with sex therapy techniques, We create a unique environment that will help you identify and transform negative patterns, dynamics, and beliefs that are standing in the way of the sexual relationship you desire.
Often life stages create sexual frustrations. We have a strong working relationship with local hormone-positive OB-Gyn providers that can enhance our work through medical collaboration and menopausal treatment.
EMDR
As wonderful as traditional talk therapy can be, sometimes we need a little more. Trauma, especially, can live deep in our bodies and stubbornly resist our efforts to clear it. EMDR can be an especially helpful approach to loosening the hold that these painful memories have on our present lives. If you’d like to know more about the process, reach out today!
Weekend Workshops
Using the proven Getting The Love You Want format, we provide a transformative journey in a safe environment that guides couples to create satisfying and long-lasting relationships.
We will be your guide as you both experience a life-changing weekend of Imago immersion.
We also offer the Keeping The Love You Find Workshop for those who are between relationships, consciously single, or partnered and just looking for self-growth and individual transformation. This workshop focuses on building a deeper understanding of our own patterns and finding compassion for who we’ve been and a curiosity in who we can become.

Megan &
Lara
Our love story is truly a journey to wholeness. We invite you to read on and get to know us!
Our home office provides a safe environment for sessions and weekend workshops. We strive to create a setting that allows each individual to feel connected to us, their partner, themselves, and the world around them.
Our approach aligns with the Imago concepts and theory. We hold that there is no one person at fault for conflict and our offices are free of blame, shame, and criticism.
When we learn how we fall, we begin to understand how to RISE
At Rise In Love Counseling, we believe that arguments and conflicts are your relationship’s way of saying, “Hey, let’s grow together!”
We’re here to guide you through the beautiful and messy process of rediscovering each other. Together, we’ll explore how heated moments and ongoing power struggles aren’t just about who left the toilet seat up (seriously, though, put it down), but about uncovering unmet needs, lost parts, old wounds, and the hidden longing to feel whole. We’ll turn your conflicts into beacons of light that guide us on the path to healing.
We all rise together.
We provide a safe and inclusive space for all couples to grow and heal and we are honored to serve LGBTQ+ couples. We understand and appreciate those who experience the typical challenges of any couple, but without a supportive and nurturing support system to hold them up. In isolation, further tension and stress are added to a relationship that may already be struggling.
In addition to the tools you’ll use on your relationship journey, we also provide a warm and nurturing sense of community for ALL couples.
You Will
- Experience a restored sense of connection and hope after only one session.
- Find that curiosity instead of judgement reawakens wonder in your relationship
- Begin to see conflict not as an opportunity for growth and NOT as a red flag
- Learn concrete tools and skills that allow you and your partner to feel safe and valued.
- Find strength in your differences and joy in seeing the world through TWO sets of eyes
Imago relationship therapy
Unlike traditional couple’s counseling, Imago therapy is based on the idea that we all have an instinctive need for connection in any relationship. When we feel disconnected (for any one of a million reasons) we protest. This protesting might look like yelling, name-calling, shutting down, and giving up or giving in. Of course, just like fingerprints, snowflakes and relationships, the defensive behaviors that we use to protest a lack of connection are 100% unique! What is NOT unique is that your defensive behaviors will scare the heck out of your partner. They will then protest in their own way, which in turn, will scare the heck out of you!

What others say...
"Our first session was so uplifting - I immediately felt much lighter afterwards, and that feeling continued for me through the rest of my week. We had hope!"
— Dee and Kevin
I didn't want to come to the workshop-I admit it! I was scared and didn't have a lot of hope. By Sunday morning, though, I started to see Jessie the way I used to see him, the way he really is. I've missed that person and I'm so glad I've been able to find my way to him again!"
— Jessie and Dylan
