I have been married for two decades and am a mother of a beautiful son. I realize that I didn't reach 20 years of marriage by chance or luck. My spouse and I reached this milestone in part from tenacity, a lot of trial and error and most of all a willingness to "do the work". As a result, we both feel our relationship is at its strongest place.
Or, coming from a place of strength and wishing to deepen your emotional intimacy skills?. Join thousands of couples all over the world who are already enjoying a stronger, intimate connection! Couples will learn new ways of moving out of old negative patterns that keep them stuck, in conflict and disconnected.
Are you struggling with a partner who has an untreated mental health or substance use disorder or trauma? Are you having endless conflicts about sex, mess, kids, in-laws, work, money or something else? We rarely enter intimate relationships with research-based relationship skills to guide us in creating a happy, fulfilling and passionate long-term marriage.
Has your teen "divided and conquered" you and your spouse and you no longer are a loving, united front? Is your family dealing with trauma, mental health, substance use issues, or other relationship, school, or work challenges? Your teen making poor choices- of friends (who are a bad influence), activities (lack of healthy ones and only choosing risky ones), and/or not consistently attending school.
Do you feel alone or as if you are you living a double life because of your gender expression or sexual identity? Have you experienced rejection or discrimination by your family, friends, neighbors, school, co-workers, religious or secular institutions? Has being a part of the LGBTQ+ community elicited stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and/or substance abuse?

Lana has a deep knowledge of couples therapy and knows how to help couples feel closer and more connected. She creates a safe space for couples to explore their relationship and helps them to create the kind of close relationship that all of us desire. As a colleague of mine, I feel completely comfortable recommending her to anyone who wants to improve their relationship. You will be in good hands!

As a fellow licensed counseling professional, I am honored to call Lana my friend and colleague. As with any profession, there are those who stand out from the rest and Lana is one of a small number who do. While she is a consummate professional offering help to individuals, couples, and families in a variety of capacities, Lana’s core strength in working through relationship challenges with her clients truly sets her apart. I’m most impressed by Lana’s thirst for knowledge and investment in herself and her practice as she continues to hone her professional skills and techniques. This enables

"As a therapist myself, It was a pleasure to meet you and to hear you speak at the Sierra Tucson workshop. I enjoyed your exercises and I truly appreciate that you sent them to me! I should share that I took notes as best as I could, and I applied what I learned from you recently with a couple, who having trouble making any movement. Well, you should know that after a three-hour session with the focus on trust and your exercises, they broke through and they felt like their marriage is now worth saving!"

Lana has such knowledge, compassion and insight for new Moms and New Families transitioning to Parenthood! She is a wonderful listener and able to really meet people where they're at with concerns and wishes for this journey. Her education and passion serve her clients, friends, & families well. I highly recommend her talks, seminars, and classes. As the former facilitator of Survival for New Moms, at Exempla Lutheran Medical Center, I would get wonderful feedback about the value of her presentations! She is truly following her hearts desire and it shines right

My wife and I recently attended Lana’s workshop, Keeping the Spark Alive. Being very busy and with a young daughter, this workshop was just what my wife and I needed. It provided the opportunity and the reminder to connect and honor each other as both lovers and parents. It is obvious that Lana is highly knowledgeable in the realm of couples and marriage. I also appreciated how she was able to give examples from her own experience in her marriage. Having worked with Lana, I highly trust and recommend her, and I know couples will benefit from having worked with her.
