Welcome! I began Coupling Connection because I’ve always been passionate about helping people have great relationships. Even as a teenager, I realized that relationships were important to people, but that most people weren’t very good at them! So, even before high school, I decided to become a psychologist who focused on healthy, happy relationships. I’ve been lucky enough to train with some of the country’s leading marital researchers and clinicians so my academic background is chock full of knowledge about what makes relationships work.

Almost as important in my preparation as a relationship coach are the life lessons I’ve acquired in my own romantic relationships. I know what it’s like to make bad choices and do it all wrong! And fortunately, I’ve learned how amazing it can be when you do it right. Through Internet dating, I met the love of my life and have created the most beautiful love imaginable. It’s even more wonderful than I dreamed possible and it has changed me profoundly. Having been given this gift of joyful love, I believe it’s my life purpose to help others create the love they deserve.

It’s this unique combination of academic knowledge and skills training combined with personal experience and insight that enables me to effectively assist others in developing extraordinary relationships. My clients see themselves in the stories I tell, which gives them hope that they too can reach the other side of the rainbow!
