GBWe are Grateful! When my husband and I started with Ana we were seriously considering divorce, but now I can see a great marriage in our future. The work we've done with Ana, along with the assigned homework has gotten us to this better place and it couldn't have been done without her support, skills and guidance. Our marriage has shifted from one filled with constant struggles, tension, and unhappiness, to one with clear communication, compatibility, and experiences that are fun. I finally believe we are a team, working together to heal. I feel confident that Ana's influence on our lives will be forever. We are grateful for her insight and wisdom.

GBTired of the Vicious Cycle?! We were going in circles, trying to figure out how to stop the same arguments from happening again, again, and again. These fights would snowball into bigger fights and we would end up thinking “How did we get here?!” We simply could not solve our problems on our own, no matter how hard we tried. We were almost ready to give up and decided to go see Ana. Words cannot express how much of a difference her coaching methods and sessions made in our lives...individually and as a couple. We went in broken and put everything on the table. She immediately helped us understand and recognize what we were actually feeling, and not what society has taught us to believe about ourselves. We learned new skills on how to identify and manage our emotions and how to effectively communicate with each other. We have a deeper understanding of each other and learned how to appreciate our differences. We grew closer throughout the process and found ways to forgive and heal. I would recommend Ana to any couple! She is wonderful at helping you truly see yourself and learn how to approach the ups and downs of your relationship in a constructive - NOT DESTRUCTIVE - kind of way. Thank you Ana. We will always cherish what you have done for us and our family.

GBAnother Marriage Rescued When we met Ana for the first time, we were both at our wits end & unhappy with our 16 yr marriage (20 yr relationship). We had lost our ability to see each other in a positive manner, communication had broken down, we were in a vicious cycle of not dealing with conflict effectively, we were distant & resentful, etc.-leaving each of us feeling unheard, not respected, and worst of all feeling unloved!!! Wondering how did we let our relationship get here??? On a positive note, we were both committed to fighting for our relationship! We both felt there was HOPE after our first session with Ana! In our opinion all relationships would benefit from Ana's Marriage Rescue sessions! The workbook/homework/videos assigned are very helpful in learning skills to deal with all the issues we were experiencing, along with our sessions Ana, she guided us with any issues we were specifically having, in a gentle way teaching us to see how we could handle it differently for a much better outcome. Ana is a delightfully positive person to work with...very different from conventional marriage counseling! Well worth the investment, time and effort!! So we have graduated and continue to remind ourselves when old habits try to surface of how Ana taught us to handle it more effectively! With practice...change happens! We are grateful to have our Marriage, Intimacy & Friendship back on track! Thank you Ana...

GBAna provides more than marriage… Ana provides more than marriage therapy. She teaches you the science behind what makes us who we are and how to work with one another based on that. My husband and I personally found her sessions very valuable not just in our marriage but with all relationships (friendships, parental relationships, etc.) in our lives. She teaches you the skills to work through the inevitable disagreements and how to understand one another better. What we both took away from our sessions is that we are very capable of making our marriage work if we are committed, put in the time and effort, and utilize the skills we learned. We both highly recommend Ana to any and all who are interested!

GBWorking with Ana Working with Ana was a refreshing change from standard therapy. If you put forth the effort, you'll begin to see the difference of the course over each session. I've become a better person by practicing the tools you'll learn. I'd recommend Ana to any couple that wants to fight to save their relationship/marriage. If you accept it isn't going to be easy, it will present challenges, it will get emotional yet you practice the exercises, you'll shock yourself at what's possible. I'll part with these words: Embrace the changes regardless of what brought you in. If you make the effort, you'll reap the rewards. Ana is great.
