As your relationship coach, I will help you to work on what you need most for a great relationship. Unlike counseling, coaches don't just sit back and listen. I will be actively involved with you each step of the way—helping you to generate ideas, learn skills, stay active and on track, and to identify self-defeating patterns and beliefs. You will stop settling for what you get in life and instead create the life you want. Life is too short to do anything else.
