Hi, I’m Lisa.
I’m a relationship coach, an author, and someone who learned the hard way that relationships don’t change when you spend all your energy trying to fix the other person.
They change when you start looking honestly at yourself.
For a long time, I blamed my partner for everything that wasn’t working. Then I got divorced, fell in love again, and realized I had dragged every single one of my emotional habits, fears, and unhealthy patterns right into my second marriage.
Different person. Same chaos.
That was the moment everything shifted for me.
Because if I was contributing to the problem — I also had the power to change it. Not in a shameful way. In a genuinely empowering way.
That realization became the foundation of everything I do.
Now I help individuals and couples understand what’s really driving their conflict, disconnection, resentment, and exhaustion — and give them real tools to start relating to themselves and each other differently.
I’m direct. I’m honest. I’m practical. And I genuinely care about the people I work with.
I’m not interested in endless processing or tip-toeing around the hard stuff. I’m interested in helping you actually change.
I’m trained in the Gottman Method — one of the most research-backed approaches to relationships in the world — and certified to teach The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work. I’m also trained by Martha Beck, best known as Oprah’s life coach and one of the most respected voices in personal development. But more than my
credentials, I bring over a decade of sitting with people in some of the hardest moments of their relationships — and helping them find their way through.
I’ve seen it all —
Conflict. Emotional disconnection. Resentment. Communication breakdown. Anxiety. Shutdown. Defensiveness. The exhausting cycles that just won’t quit.
And I know it can get better.
