When work and hectic schedules damage relationships: Help for couples working together, partners who have heavy work schedules who want a better relationship.

Couples in business can choose to repair the relationship and then move ahead on big decisions.

Learn to discuss business plans so you can move ahead together to make business decisions in unity.

For busy hard-working individuals in a relationship, help with communication, respect and setting boundaries.

I work with busy people. Couples who manage teams. Manage businesses. Or have a side-hustle that takes up all available time.

I work with you both around the relationship you share.

The cost of parting ways can be huge. Getting help can bring back the love and unity you want.

Then you can move forward together.

 

Why meet with me?

Meeting with me is something you and your partner would have to choose.

  • Do you and your partner have difficult issues in your relationship? About money? About sex?
  • Is there is a struggling-to-talk problem, a talking-over-the-top problem, a not-listening or a not-being-heard problem?
  • Is the loudness (shouting), the criticism, the contempt or the disrespect present in your relationship?
  • Do either of you have trouble respecting each-other's boundaries?
  • Do either of you want to set boundaries?
  • Is there is a loss-of-trust?

If "YES", then perhaps getting help could mean book a session
