Warning!

Don’t just trust your family to anyone who says they can help you with your valued relationships. Make sure your ‘relationship specialist’ has the required training and accountability to take care of you and your family. Abe has the highest level of training as a recognized relationship specialist.

Abe is biased in favor of families staying together whenever possible. As is the case of any good doctor who wants you to be healthy and live a long life, so too, Abe wants you and your family to be healthy and long-lasting.
