How do YOU courageously face the difficult questions & reclaim YOUR strength?

I bring simple communication skills to the table for couples or families stuck in angry stances. I help each person feel heard, listened to and understood, helping them learn how to come alongside each other with empathy and insight instead of competing and blaming.
