I am a relationship coach with over 25 years of experience coaching and teaching relationship and marriage seminars. I’m also the author of Small Steps to Bigger Love: A Practical Guide to Marriage as a Spiritual Practice, that includes a small group study guide.
I love to teach people new ways of looking at themselves and their loved ones, and believe that there is always more to learn when it comes to loving the people who matter the most to us. I have a toolbox full of practical, simple strategies that help individuals prepare for or heal from relationships, helps couples to communicate better and become more intentional, and help parents and their young adult children find common ground and deeper connection.
I have a Bachelor of Science in Community and Social Change and studied at the Blanton Peale Institute for Pastoral Counseling. I have trained in many of the best marriage and relationship education programs, including Michelle Weiner Davis' Divorce-Busting, John Gottman, PREP and Relationship Enhancement.
I have also created my own curriculum for young adults, engaged couples, and married couples. I’ve taught relationship skills and media literacy for several gap programs, and conducted workshops for engaged and married couples around the country and abroad. I am also experienced in working with teens, young adults and couples who may be struggling with pornography.
It is my deepest desire to continue to help young people, their parents and couples of every age and stage to improve and deepen their connection of heart with their loved ones.
