My mission is to inspire you to become a relationship hero!

You have the power to transform your life and the lives of future generations. 

Most people cannot achieve this on their own. I am consistently inspired by my clients’ courage, brave efforts, and remarkable growth.

I have been married for more than twenty years and am the mother of a wonderful son and a cherished school-age adopted daughter. I understand that I didn’t achieve 20 years of marriage by chance or luck.

My spouse and I reached this milestone in part because of tenacity, trial and error, and, most of all, a willingness to “do the work.”

As a result, we both feel our relationship is stronger and more fulfilling. We are fortunate to live in a time when actual research (a road map) is available to guide couples in developing secure, healthy bonds.

I understand the challenges mothers face working outside the home. 

Having been a full-time mom for my son’s first two years (after working outside the home), I greatly respect stay-at-home parents. 

I strive to balance fulfilling work, family time, couple time, and self-care/spiritual growth. 

There are seasons when I juggle it all quite well, but at other times, life feels messy and challenging, requiring more support and humor!

Featured on the Valiant Living Podcast

When both partners need to heal: Navigating recovery together. 

Lana and Jason chat about helping couples navigate substance use and getting better together.

Lana, drawing from her Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) background, explains how challenging addictive patterns can help partners connect more deeply when they face them as a team.

She also discusses this concept called "the addiction dance," which refers to the unconscious, not-so-great patterns that couples fall into without even realizing it.
