Jill has a special interest in intercultural relationships. She believes that most relationships involve some degree of cross-cultural differences, as partners often come from different families and backgrounds. Jill understands the inherent loyalty we feel toward our families and cultures, which can create conflict when our values differ from those of our partner. She is passionate about helping couples facilitate greater understanding and acceptance of each other’s cultural experiences
