Meet Priscilla
Priscilla Rodriguez, M.S., LMFT & Couples Connection Coach, has spent years helping couples move past the cycle of arguments that leave them feeling unheard and disconnected.

By replacing defensive or dismissive words with phrases that create openness, couples are able to calm the tension, feel respected, and actually hear one another.
Priscilla’s mission is to give couples simple, practical tools they can use right away to build connection, even in conflict. Her approach isn’t about complicated scripts—it’s about real conversations that bring partners closer, one moment at a time.
