Clients come to me for all kinds of issues, but right at the top is wanting to have an intimate relationship, or to fix one that isn’t working well. Usually, these clients have tried many things to get what they want: couples counseling, dating apps, relationship coaches, self-help books, communication training, and much more. Although […]
Finding Sweet, Gentle Grounding…
In any vocation I’ve had, I’ve always had an instinct to look for masters, mentors and guides.
