For the past 30 years, I have worked with people in relationships. Through Transformative Conversations® I help high-achieving, successful couples who are in a cycle of conflict, negative talk, and even considering divorce safely overcome challenges, and restore their connection and passion while balancing togetherness and individual growth.

I bring my extensive training and personal experience through a failed marriage and a very happy second marriage to help you find your own happiness. I also bring extensive professional knowledge and research, and more than 30 years of professional practice. I love helping people solve breakdowns in dialogue and relationships and find joy and peace.

As a relationship expert, I help open safe spaces for couples to interact and learn new ways of talking. As a result, stress, confusion, and conflict are minimized. You will have more positive energy to create the future you want.

Once a positive dialogue is established, people attest that positive interactions increase, genuine connections are formed, and their happiness and joy show it. I have done this in more than 20 countries on 3 continents, thanks to my bi-lingual heritage in English and Spanish. I have enabled thousands of couples and individuals to make lasting changes in their lives and families.

My main passion and mission in life is to assist individuals, couples, and families to re-discover the power of conversations for connecting with their hearts and finding joy. You can discover how commitment and personal responsibility will help you enjoy better communication and rekindle the spark of passion and connection.
