I help couples and individuals turn relationship pain and frustration into love and connection. Since I was very young I watched my parents fight often. I remember feeling scared and helpless. I was 14 years old when they went through a very rough divorce. I created a story in my head that marriage is painful and non-stop conflict. Years of failed relationships and a longing for a healthy long-term committed relationship are the main reasons why one day I decided to seek help. I became a student of intimate relationships, psychology, attachment theory, neurobiology and eventually became a Relationship Coach certified to work with couples and individuals. I also found real love with a great man and we’ve been in a committed growth-oriented relationship for years. My relationship is a source of strength, inspiration, and support for me to do this work. In my years working with couples and individuals, I’ve learned that most relationship issues are caused by the combination of one or more of the following factors: unhealed childhood wounds, unresolved current and/or previous relationship hurts, not knowing how to resolve conflict, and missing other relationship tools or skills. I can help you with all of these so you can have the relationship you want. I know in my own experience and my clients’ how relationships can be transforming and healing. That is why I am dedicating the rest of my life to do this work.
