Intro
Everyone who begins relationship coaching with me isn't looking for a diagnosis of a dysfunction. They are just looking for help to improve their marriage. Over the more than 35 years I have shared my relationship expertise, I've helped hundreds of individuals rebuild their relationships.
But before anyone begins working with me, they have questions that need answering. Below you will find the answers to the most common questions I am asked.
If you have other questions or are ready to get started, you can schedule a 30-minute complimentary consultation. During our conversation, you will get a feel for what coaching with me is like. It also helps me to determine how I can best help you and if we are a good fit to work together.

What is a relationship coach
What is a relationship coach?
Many people incorrectly use the terms "relationship coach" and "therapist" interchangeably. Although people in both professions are available to help you improve your marriage, the way they go about it is different.
A relationship coach is a relationship expert who uses their knowledge to mentor and support you to take the actions you choose to create the marriage you want. They don't diagnose.
A therapist will also use their knowledge to support you in understanding how your marriage wound up in the situation it is in which can be helpful in deciding how you want to move forward. Therapists will also provide diagnoses.
Working with a relationship coach is a great decision if:
- you're willing to do the work necessary to achieve your relationship goals
- you're open to learning new relationship skills
- you're open to mentoring and support
- you genuinely want results
- you're willing to dig deep and get clear about what you truly want from your relationship
- you want to discover new growth possibilities for your marriage
- you're willing to be courageous in your exploration of ways to improve your marriage
