For individuals, during our first appointment, we will begin creating a Master Action Plan (MAP). For couples, we will create a Express Partner Plan (EPP), and we will work from this Personal Action Plan during future work together, and you will receive a copy to take home. This is an invaluable tool-clients tell me their strategic Action Plan has enabled them to stay on track between appointments, enabling them to achieve their goals in less time than they thought possible. For couples, I've developed specific, highly effective strategies that break down the normal yet problematic defenses, and lack of communication standing in the way of having a healthy, passionate, and long-standing relationship.
