  • “Working with Brett has been an incredible experience. He asks the right questions to uncover the root causes of emotional blockages and reactive behaviors that we were struggling with as a couple. After just a few months of sessions, we’ve significantly strengthened our relationship and rebuilt the connection we had lost. We’ve become calmer, more mindful, and more loving toward each other, even after facing traumatic events and significant stress.”
