People Can Change
If They Want To
people can change if they want to
Individually or together I'll support you through getting your needs met, communicating more effectively, and moving forward. I'll help you understand, cope, process, and decide what you truly want; and take action.
Make the right choices for your relationship
Having lived and dated in New York City for more than 30 years, and having successfully coached hundreds of others all over the world since 2007, I have gotten very good at spotting red flags and deciphering human behavior. Everyone has issues, it's a matter of managing your own and picking a person who's issues don't clash with yours.
Too many people stay in the wrong relationship because they think it's the best they can get; or because they're afraid to be alone; or admit that they're not happy. Whatever is going on with you, either individually or as a couple, I will listen closely and together we'll figure out EXACTLY what is best for you!
Is your current partner good for you? Do you feel loved? I will help you decide whether or not he or she is the right one for you. Then help make your relationship the best it can possibly be, or help you get out and find someone better.
