About Me
"At the core of who I am is a belief that lasting, healthy relationships are possible."
Hi, I’m Dr. Lena—Relationship Educator, wife, mom of three, and your go-to guide for real talk and real growth in love. With over 15 years of experience helping companies, organizations, and individuals build meaningful connections with their target audiences, I’ve learned a lot about assessing the needs of others and how to help them reach their relational goals.
While I enjoyed my work in public engagement and communications, I discovered that my true passion was always rooted in the heart of relationship-building: helping people navigate challenges, grow through conflict, and stay grounded in spite of life circumstances.
At my core I am an encourager, but I am also honest and practical about what it takes to reach your goals. My mission is to support you with both grace and truth, so you can experience the kind of love that’s intentional, resilient, and deeply fulfilling.
Who is Dr. Lena?
I’ve always believed in the beauty of healthy, lasting love—and I don’t just teach it, I live it. My husband and I met as students in undergrad, and we’ve now been married for 10 years. As proud parents of three incredible children, we’re constantly learning how to balance love, parenting, careers, and ministry—with a lot of prayer, grace, and laughter along the way.
My passion for relationships is deeply rooted in real life experiences and evidence based theory. I hold an earned Doctorate degree in Community Care & Counseling with a specialty in Marriage & Family, and I’ve spent the last 15+ years helping people build better communication, stronger connections, and greater relational confidence.
Whether I’m coaching couples with my husband, encouraging wives, speaking to groups, or facilitating corporate workshops my heart is the same: to help people experience the joy and strength that comes from doing relationships well.
This work is personal. It’s purpose-driven. And it’s my joy to walk alongside others as they grow in love—with themselves and with one another.
