Welcome to Building Real Relationships!

Building healthy relationships through relationship education, marriage and family counseling, singles relationship counseling and individual mental health counseling services.

  • Would you like to improve your communication skills and learn how to restore ruptured connections in your relationships?
  • Are you searching for relationship advice that will revive the passion and intimacy in your marriage and help you build trust back into your relationship?
  • Do you find yourself walking on eggshells around your teenager, wondering if family counseling may be your only option for meaningful change?

Whether you are searching for answers to help you save your marriage or trying to make the most of your relationship with your children, one thing is for certain: No matter what we may imagine, there is conflict in every family and every intimate relationship. Unfortunately, our brains are wired to avoid or overreact to these inherent conflicts. Contrary to popular opinion, it is not the conflict itself that destroys relationships, but rather our reaction to it. The good news is that we now understand why we react the way we do and how to change those patterns.

When there is conflict in your relationship or with your children, your system is over programmed to react with fear. This fear blocks genuine communication and understanding. Your brain places survival above connection. In this workshop you will learn how to avoid screaming, crying and blocking your loved ones - all signs of fear and, instead, how to create bridges of understanding. You will learn the skills you need to transform issues that used to bring frustration and despair into areas for healing and growth. Not only can you save a relationship that's in trouble, or rekindle the fire in a marriage that may have been waning for many years, you will learn how to take your relationship to an entirely new level of intimacy, trust and safety.

The weekend workshops are designed to give you the information and skills you need in order to rewire your brain for love and connection, rather than fear and self-protection. By changing the way you personally react to stress and conflict, and learning techniques to address common communication problems in relationships, you will witness the conflicts in your marriage and other relationships dissolve.

Falling in love is easy - whether with a romantic partner or a new born baby.

Sustaining love is difficult.. But definitely not impossible!
