Welcome to my page and thank you for your interest.

Research has shed light not only on the greatest risk factors for marital
failure, but also on the most promising avenues to help couples build and
maintain great marriages. Couples can learn how to avoid the pitfalls, and
learn to deepen and maintain love for a life-time - if they work at it.
The learning model employed in my marriage coaching/preparation is
educational with a focus on teaching couples the kinds of attitudes and
actions that make for marriage success. While the bad news is that
marriage is risky business, the good news is that couples can learn
powerful, proven strategies for beating the odds.

I utilize a combination of two strongly researched and empirically sound
approaches for marriage preparation - the PREPARE Couple Program and the
Prevention and Relationship Enhancement Program (PREP). Both programs offer
a research based approach to teaching couples how to communicate
effectively, work as a team to solve problems, manage conflicts without
damaging closeness and preserve and enhance love, commitment, and
friendship.

Don't wait for problems to develop. Jump-start your marriage with
information that optimizes strengths and manages differences. It truly is
a timeless gift for someone you love.

I welcome your call or email and would be happy to answer any questions you
might have at no obligation to you. My office is conveniently located at
Hwy 169 & 49th Ave in New Hope / Plymouth with easy access from throughout
the metro and surrounding area.
