About the author

Known to millions as “Dr. Love” through my website AskDrLove.com — the web's first and immensely popular relationship advice site since 1995, I've been delighting readers and audiences for three decades with my engaging blend of professional expertise, humor and ability to turn clinical psychobabble into easy-to-understand concepts that transform lives and heal relationships.

My methods have been featured on all the national networks, including CNN (who recently dubbed me their "Resident Love Doctor!") NBC, CBS, VH1, Fox, on websites like WebMD, iVillage, Discovery.com, MSNBC.com, and in Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, Glamour, American Woman, Modern Bride, and Marie Claire, to name only a few. I also write a column called “We Can Work it Out” for Psychology Today online.

My “Ask Dr. Love”radio show can be heard in Seattle on KKNW and on TalkZone, which broadcasts in 80 countries worldwide.

I am the author of the new Hay House book, Kiss Your Fights Good-bye: Dr. Love's 10 Simple Steps to Cooling Conflict and Rekindling Your Relationship, which has been endorsed by #1 NY Times New York Times bestselling authors Jack Canfield, Dr. John Gray, John Bradshaw and Harvard professor of psychiatry, Dr. John Mack.

I have also authored, Till Death Do Us Part (Unless I Kill You First): A Step-by-Step Guide for Resolving Relationship Conflict; Make Up Don't Break Up: Dr. Love's Five-Step Plan for Reconciling with Your Ex; and Dr. Love's Couples' Guide to Surviving the Jolly Hollerdays; I have also authored the foreword to The Complete Idiot's Guide to Affair Proof Love and co-authored The Pleasure of Your Company: A Socio-Psychological Analysis of Modern Sociability (with Emile Jean Pin).

Since the recent death of Emile Jean Pin, my beloved husband of 27 years, I have discovered that relationships do not end in death. His miraculous manifestations, often in front of witnesses, have proven that there is life after life. My experiences with him have led me to develop a groundbreaking form of grief therapy that diverges from the traditional Western approach (grieve, let go and move on). By contrast, my method guides people to reconnect and, if needed, make peace with the deceased--bringing my acclaimed conflict resolution method to the world of after death communication (ADC). My story and new grief therapy method will be presented in my latest book Love Never Dies: How to Reconnect and Make Peace with the Deceased, which will be published by Hay House in August 2014.
