“What if we all enjoyed authentic, healthy, relationships? What kind of world would that be?”

Dear Friend,

I enjoy thinking about those questions. What kind of world would we have if everyone experienced healthy, loving relationships?

Authentic Connections is a company I formed to help people create loving relationships.

First designed as a matchmaking company in 2016, Authentic Connections was created to alleviate some of the pitfalls experienced by today's daters. By 2020, I learned A LOT about what gets in the way for people who are looking for romantic love. I’m happy to share that through courses I’ve created, through teaching services, and through something I call “functional” therapy. The courses and therapy will be available in September 2020.

Why should you trust me? I am a professional woman in my 60s with more than 35 years of experience in the field of psychology. I'm focused on the strengths of people, not on their limitations. I want to help you harness what works for you and use those traits as you find and develop healthy relationships. If I see things that I believe are limiting you, I'll be sure to let you know so that you can move forward in a positive way.

Authentic Connections is built on the value of having a trusted partner who is not your mother, not your best friend, and not your gossipy co-worker. I want to be that trusted partner for you on your journey to meeting someone to love or in developing a loving relationship with your own self. 

I believe in possibilities. I believe in love. I’m committed to helping people be their best in relationships.

I look forward to working with you!
