On average, couples spend six years of being unhappy with their relationship before getting help.

Please don't wait until your relationship is in shambles to get help. I’ve seen couples in my office time after time who have waited years, hoping things would get better all the while building resentment and hurt.

This is why I’ve incorporated these educational workshops into my practice. You can learn relationship skills, gain perspective, attain knowledge and acquire tools needed to prevent major relationship distress.

Investing in your relationship now will save you money and time in therapy or the heartache of separation.

So are you ready to take your relationship to the next level?

Through a variety of facilitated activities, you and your partner will learn better ways to communicate, manage conflict, and build your connection.
