Mel's Message
We all want to feel loved, but sadly we struggle. Our relationships often begin with great promises of happiness and love, but the positive energy fades all too soon. Over time, you may have acclimated to boredom, mediocrity, or conflict. Resigning yourself to this discontent can lead to depression, anxiety, resentment, and despair. You deserve better.
I believe that our relationship challenges are often due to our lack of education in this most precious undertaking. It’s a shame that the pillars of relationship weren’t part of our education, but why not learn them now?
You and your partner can learn the skills and strategies required to thrive. My work in couple’s counseling is focused on providing the clarity, insights, and communication expertise for you to succeed in your partnering. I’ll help you learn and cultivate the 5 pillars of resilient relationships.
The 5 Pillars of Resilient Relationships
- Emotional, verbal and physical intimacy
- Compassion & empathy
- Communication expertise
- Emotional Intelligence
- Trust
How Mel Practices
My passion for understanding relationships at the deepest level and optimizing effective and intimate communication skills drive my ethic. I’ve authored The Art of Intimacy, The Pleasure of Passion and The Possibility Principle: How quantum Physics Can Improve the Way You Think, Live and Love, am the host of The Possibility Podcast and I’ve written over 100 articles on relationship and communication. Please take an opportunity to sample these resources.
My style is warm and participatory, yet educational and motivational at the same time My work is my passion.

I engage every couple and every individual from a sense of wonder and curiosity as I come to appreciate the unique tapestry of your life and your relationship. My goal is to get you from here to there.
Relationship Issues Treated
Communication is the heartbeat of relationships.
