Over the past four decades, I have worked with thousands of people struggling to rebuild their lives and relationships.
During this time, I refined and crafted my skills to develop a specific method of fast, effective, and lasting couples and marriage-intensive coaching. I specialize in marriage intensives because of their proven effectiveness.
If you’re frustrated by recurring patterns in your relationship, tired of having the same arguments, and seeking a breakthrough—or if previous therapy hasn’t worked but you’re not ready to give up—an intensive program might be the solution you’re looking for.
I work in a collaborative, non-judgmental manner that fosters a strong therapeutic relationship, guaranteed to promote positive change. Helping you discover what isn’t working for you will open the doors to new solutions. I bring a heartfelt understanding of humanity to our working relationship, creating a safe space for you to share your feelings and experiences in a way that makes transformation possible. This approach can lead to profound healing, fostering deeper understanding and closer connections among couples.
