Frustrated because you want to tie the knot and your long term partner still isn't ready for a marriage commitment? Overwhelmed with the engagement process? Trying to understand his cold feet issues? Looking to improve communication with your partner?

Andrea Passman Candell sees the pre-engagement stage as an entire relationship passage in itself. In her relationship coaching practice, Andrea specializes in working with clients on how to manage what she calls "pre-engagement limbo" - when she wants to tie the knot and he prefers to talk about it later.

Andrea was working on her Master's in Counseling Psychology when she realized just how much women and men have trouble understanding each other when it comes to a marriage commitment - and at the same time recognizing how few resources were available to those in pre-engagement. Women would ask her, "What is taking my boyfriend so long to propose?" "What is it with men and commitment?" While men would ask, "Why does she have to ask me about an engagement every day?" "How can she understand that I'm just not ready to get married?" Andrea started researching the pre-engagement dynamic to help women and men better understand each other, so that they can get through pre-engagement together as a couple, rather than have limbo take over the relationship.

In addition to pre-engagement counseling / coaching, Andrea works with clients on relationship issues involving: communication, commitment, dating,marriage, relationship transition, and wedding related matters. Andrea also provides consultation for those in career transition and who want to improve their communication in the workplace.
