Hi, I’m Luella

Let me be your relationship coach. With 30 years of therapy experience, I want to help you (and your partner) improve your relationship.

I am a licensed psychotherapist and couples coach. For over twenty years, I’ve helped men and women restore connection, purpose, and joy in their relationships. If you’re here, it likely means something isn’t working in your marriage, or perhaps you are both simply existing within the marriage. You are not alone; more importantly, your marriage is not beyond saving.

There is no single cause of a failing marriage, but if I had to choose one, it would be self-focus over self-giving. We stop seeing our spouse when we become absorbed in our own needs, pain, or unmet expectations. Love, at its core, is not a feeling—it is an act of will. As Thomas Aquinas so profoundly stated, “To love is to will the good of the other.” But when resentment builds, that love can feel distant, even impossible.

That is where the healing begins.

My work is about more than communication strategies or conflict resolution. I help couples uncover the real source of their disconnection and rediscover the selfless love that strengthens and sustains a marriage. This isn’t about reliving past mistakes but about choosing, daily, to move forward with renewed faith in each other.

Marriage is not just about the two of you—it impacts your children, your community, and your sense of purpose in this world. When your relationship thrives, so does everything around you. And when you step into that place of healing, you don’t just fix your marriage—you become the person you were meant to be.

Are you ready to shift from frustration and loneliness to love and clarity?
