As my mentor and former supervisor, Esther Perel, says: “The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives.”

But many professionals experience success at work and struggle mightily in personal relationships because relationships are difficult and hard work! We long for intimacy and to feel heard and understood, but we aren’t taught what the hard work really is that makes for strong, satisfying, deep connections. 

Our culture is focused on individual happiness, me vs. you, us vs. them, power, wealth and reputation as sources of meaning. If anything, our culture teaches us anti-relationship skills. 

The pandemic has helped us realize that relationships are our greatest source of strength, health and I’ll say, healing. It’s time to align our time and attention to that.

So, how do we improve the quality of our relationships? That is what Relationship Intelligence is all about. It’s not just personal growth, it’s relational growth. 

I help you navigate the complexity of relationships and create REAL Intimacy through our work together.

For almost 30 years in my practice as a marriage and family therapist, I have helped women and men just like you deepen their connection. I’m a certified Relational Life Coach and certified Coach with Clarity. I now offer individual and group coaching, couples retreats and public speaking, for all relationships – friendships, family, and business relationships, with a special place in my heart for female entrepreneurs.

Learn more about Risa.
Risa taught me how to stay calm, open and loving when talking with my husband. I was able to hear his needs and clearly share mine. My husband and I now come out of our discussions closer and more loving. It’s been a complete change from the yelling, tears and silent-treatment that would last a week.
