My passion is working with committed couples who want to proactively lay a strong foundation for a solid, enduring relationship based on their own unique values and beliefs. I believe that by doing the work before the vows, you can put a structure in place that helps you to not just survive, but flourish. It's a balancing act of butterflies in your stomach highs and I'd like to smother you with pi
llow lows. Without a basic understanding in place, your relationship's "why" can fall through the cracks. You need a toolkit that works. That's where I come in. I grew up as an Air Force brat and lived in Germany for ten years. After graduating from the American College of Fashion, London, England, I returned to the United States and obtained my BS and MS. I married, was blessed with 2 girls ( who still keep me on my toes ), and divorced after 10 years. My biggest regret was that we treated each other so horribly during the divorce, leaving lasting scars on my daughters. My hope is that I can help, through my practice, to keep partnerships intact and eliminate the painful effects on children. I remarried 5 years later and was blessed with another girl. After almost thirty years of marriage, my husband died of severe intracranial brain disease. As a widow, I know that "to love" is one of life's most honorable purposes. Equipped with book knowledge, theory, and decades of life lessons, I'm able to help couples find their unique plan. The one that allows each party to get their needs met. It's a win-win outcome and It's my gift. I'm here for you,
