Over the past six years, I’ve worked with over 100 couples.

I’ve had the opportunity to support, empower, and teach these couples how to be happy together again. So many were simply missing the tools needed to create the relationship they wanted. They didn’t know the “rules” of healthy communication, fighting constructively, and repairing the breaks between them. As communication broke down, they’d begin to feel emotionally disconnected, and lost passion in their intimate relationship.

Most partners entered into their relationship with specific expectations of what it would be like, how they’d spend their time, and the ways in which their partner would show them love. Often, this was unspoken - which led to chronic conflict and feeling disappointed.

Relationship coaching provides me the opportunity to work with motivated couples in a powerful way. My focus is on helping my clients move forward quickly and effectively through assessment, education, concrete strategies, and accountability.

When you understand why couples fight and how unresolved conflicts snowball into deep resentment and unhappiness, you’re able to help reverse (and repair) it. I believe teaching the underlying principles allows each partner to trust the process and invest in making changes. I ensure my clients understand the “why” before I ask them to do things differently.

I love working with couples. I love helping my clients identify specific steps they can take right away to positively impact their relationship. I often encounter couples who believe things will never be the way they once were - and am thrilled to show them that doesn’t have to be the case.
