“Fairy tales can come true, they can happen to you. If you’re young at heart…”
Countless little girls were raised on pastel-colored stories where the white knight would save the beautiful, fragile damsel in distress. It really was such an easy sell. The thought that one invincible person, muscled and handsome, would take us into their arms and make everything so dreamy. Who wouldn’t buy into that? All it takes is a quivering smile, hair that glistened in the moonlight and a rosy red pout.
As we got older, we realized, sometimes the hard way, that fairy tales are indeed fantasy. Any worthy man wouldn’t look twice at a woman who pouts while living off the kindness of strangers. Talk about an anchor. In “real life” those needy damsels would usually attract a partner who is hell-bent on fixing or controlling them.
After all, we attract based on the energy we give.
For us fortunate, fabulous humans, I’d like you to consider something:
-Maybe you are the hero that you’ve been waiting for?
-Maybe you possess the unique gifts that are sure to align with passion and purpose?
-Maybe you’ve learned lessons that will allow you to steer clear of the hidden minefields?
-Maybe while you’re waiting for your superman, your life is passing you by?
Life’s too short to take chances on a fairytale. The odds are better if you bet on yourself. Give yourself permission to put your super cape on and fly. You’ll be amazed at the heights you reach.
PS- Do you hear that sound? It’s the clock ticking.
PSS- I’ll take my super cape in red. It’s a great color on me.

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. Committed, successful relationships are hard work. It’s a balancing act of butterflies in your stomach highs and I’d like to smother you with pillow 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,
