While listening attentively, I actively provide insight, guidance, and skills to empower you to make the changes you desire. Gain the ability to create a more loving relationship and resolve conflicts readily. Recovery from affairs and pre-marital counseling are further specializations.I also consult to individuals around stress, anxiety, low self-esteem or relationship issues.
