I help COUPLES create the relationship they deserve. Maybe you've felt alone in your marriage for a long time, even when your spouse is in the same room. You can feel exhausted from feeling like you do everything and don't really have a partner. Sometimes you even fantasize that if you're going to feel alone, you may as well be alone. Over time, resentment builds from not feeling heard, from miscommunication, from betrayals big and small. This spills over into arguments, not being kind to each other or sometimes you just stop communicating at all. You deserve more and I've helped many couples like you create that.

I help those who are looking to find inner peace, clarity, a better understanding of themselves, and freedom from the heaviness our minds and life experiences can bring.
