Browny
Relationship and Marriage Counseling
Happy to have found a counselor like Paul who truly welcomed our " dirty laundry" without judgment and willing to help. I appreciated his free session and opportunity to get to know him first and see what he could offer . He introduced us to the Enneagram personality types which to me was Gold in terms of dealing with everyone in my life and not just my partner. Knowing my type and my stage of maturity has helped me strive to be the best version of myself. Knowing my partners type also changed my expectations and approach to different situations with him. I like the concept that " you can never change your type" but can grow and evolve into healthier versions of other types. I Recommend Paul to anyone seeking to improve their relationships with people in general, and especially with their significant others. I feel so empowered. More...

Just the initial consultation we felt really great with Paul. I know a four-star is kind of soon to give someone we’ve only had a consultation with but when you know you know. We are looking forward to these official sessions with Paul. More...

I found him to be non-judgemental and easy to talk to and a great listener. His knowledge of the enneagram system was a big help and my fiancé and I still refer to that. Our wedding is coming up and we are so glad we took the time to do this - give me peace of mind. Would totally recommend him for pre-marital preparation. More...

Counseling with Paul was a delightful experience. This has given a boost to my marriage of 11 years. I had anxiety with being labeled as the "uninterested" person of the couple, and this comprehensive coaching experience helped me realize there is nothing wrong with me, it was just a case of having gone my whole life being misunderstood! We did marriage therapy a couple of years ago and that helped, but coaching with Paul was very specific, learning the nuts and bolts. My husband, too, has grown from the experience, and we are a revitalized sexy couple. His knowledge of the "erotic blueprints" is excellent. Thanks Paul!! More...

Paul did a wonderful job with our relationship counseling! He is easy to talk to, and made us feel comfortable. We loved the engaging discussions we had with Paul, and feel like we came away with lots of good advice. Would highly recommend!

Paul has a very caring nature and is easy to talk to. Both my husband and I felt comfortable being open and honest discussing subjects that previously we found hard to talk about. He helped us start our journey of reconnection after years of resentment and feelings of defeat. We always knew Paul was in our corner, working on our behalf, to bring new levels of connection and intimacy into our marriage. More...

What do you love most about your job?
Seeing a couple who was considering abandoning their relationship, start to have an amazing, loving, and intimate connection. Often their newfound connection and satisfaction is greater than what they had years ago. I like seeing couples break-through their issues and find joy and satisfaction.
What inspired you to start your own business?
My own relationship challenges. I went to counselors and coaches, studied, and did my own training, which I think enhances my college education in counseling.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm trained as a relationship counselor, and I am certified and licensed as an intimacy coach. My specialty is couples who struggle with communication and intimacy differences. If you used to have good communication and intimacy, I can journey with you reconnect with joy and satisfaction.
