In 2008 I was separated from my husband, barely coping as a newly single mother of 4. I was overwhelmed, and an emotional mess.

While preparing divorce papers, something spoke to my heart: "Not yet, let's see what he does with this".

I had to learn how to follow my heart regardless of what others told me I should do. Because almost everyone I cared about was encouraging divorce.

My husband and I began the process of rebuilding ourselves and our relationship, while living in different states.

After a 3 year separation, we were able to fully reconcile.

We tried marriage counseling which was not very helpful, sometimes even harmful.

We spent the first several years figuring out, on our own. How to rebuild and nurture our marriage. How to communicate effectively. How to work through hard things together. How to replace anger and resentment with compassion and connection.

Our marriage was almost everything I dreamed of. But we still had some lingering problems.

We'd been to total of 7 different therapists and still had these same problems.

...until I discovered Terry Real's book Fierce Intimacy.

This was the turning point. Relational Life Therapy was the final link we'd been missing in our road to relational recovery.

RLT is renowned for sparking profound and lasting transformation in clients by helping them heal their relational trauma.

The work of Terry Real has been so life changing that I joined his certification program to become an RLT (Relational Life Therapy) coach.

In addition to personal experience and decades of study, I'm also certified in NLP (NeuroLinguistic Programming), Timeline Therapy®, and Hypnotherapy.
