As a Marriage Counselor and Certified Relationship Coach, Ingrid Skoog has helped hundreds of couples improve their relationships, even those feeling hopelessly disconnected. It’s not too late! Using a step-by-step process, she’ll help you address root causes and transform stuck patterns, while building deeper emotional bonds in the process.

Improve Communication
Most of us weren’t taught how to talk about the hard stuff—let alone how to reach meaningful resolutions. That’s why communication is a primary reason people seek marriage and relationship counseling.
With over 20 years experience as a Communication Coach and
Nonviolent Communication (NVC) practitioner, Ingrid Skoog offers
practical, heart-centered tools to navigate even the most emotionally
charged conversations.
Through hands-on practice:
- Learn a powerful four-step process that helps everyone feel seen and understood
- Hone effective listening skills and tools for authentic, compassionate expression
- Grow your capacity to genuinely empathize without having to “fix” others
- Get comfortable having even the most difficult conversations
Awaken Joy
Did you know that we humans are more inclined to feel worried than secure? This negativity bias, a survival instinct, predisposes us to notice what’s “wrong” and potentially dangerous about 5x more frequently than what’s “right.” But surviving is not thriving! On an emotional level, this bias makes us prone to anxiety, depression, and negative feelings. Fortunately, we can retrain our brains…and our hearts… to intentionally focus on what’s good, cultivating joy in the process.
Cultivate new ways to:
- Reinforce a positive outlook through evidence-based, “happiness hacks”
- Elevate your mood and grow an “attitude of gratitude”
- Recognize and live from your strengths
- Approach even the most challenging situations with creativity and confidence
Pain is growth waiting to happen.
When we embrace our struggles with creativity and care rather then contempt, healing happens.
Whatever the challenge may be: relationship breakdowns, painful emotions, unhealthy patterns, depression or anxiety, you can feel better.
You are ready for a change. Let’s take the first step together.
