A romantic partnership can be the greatest source of joy, but it can also be a source of pain. I have a passion for love and a determination to share everything I have found to be true about nurturing a healthy and long-lasting relationship.
I am here to teach you how to keep your love, friendship, and desire alive, how to manage conflict and learn to compromise, how to understand each other better and maintain connection and intimacy. Using research-based interventions, we will identify your strengths as a couple and work on areas that need improvement.
How does relationship coaching with me look like?
In the sessions, I will guide you through exercises and communication practices. The goal is to help you improve the quality of your relationship, increase or renew the friendship factor, enhance your intimacy through deeper emotional connection, and navigate and resolve conflicts effectively.
What tools do I use in coaching with couples?
I use evidence-based interventions learned during my Level 1 and Level 2 Gottman Couple Therapy training. The Sound Relationship House Theory is the foundation for this work and the goal of this method is to disarm conflicting communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that lead to a feeling of stagnancy and engage in mutual empathy. This includes a thorough assessment of the relationship and the incorporation of a therapeutic framework and interventions based on these assessments. Even couples with moderate levels of conflict can benefit from these sessions.
“Successful long-term relationships are created through small words, small gestures, and small acts.

Blueprint for My Couple Coaching:
An initial intake session where I meet with you and your partner together.
You and your partner complete an assessment.
In the next two sessions, I meet with you individually to gather your personal histories.
Feedback session — the three of us meet together to go over my assessment and initial treatment recommendations.
Interventions begin and ongoing assessment.
How does individual relationship coaching with me look like?
Skills such as handling conflict, communicating our needs, maintaining healthy boundaries and managing our emotions can be extremely helpful in improving our interactions with others. While we can’t change others, people often find their relationships improve when they begin to address their own issues. I provide education and coaching in interpersonal skills.
Sometimes people find that they keep choosing romantic partners that are not a good fit for them. They find themselves in the same negative cycles of behaviour and start to wonder if they attract the wrong people or choose the wrong people. I can help clients figure out those negative patterns and modify their behaviour in order to improve the quality of their relationships.

Feedback from clients:
Being able to talk about our issues with someone, with you, that is neutral and unbaised and willing to listen to our stories, views and opinions on the issues that's causing friction and frustration. You were listening to us, introduced us to the tools and methods that are available and guided us through the sessions. When you said at the beginning that at one point we will not even notice that you're there, I couldn't believe it, but eventually it became true. And I really appreciate it, it created a save zone for us to talk and listen to each other always knowing that we can consult and ask you and get some honest feedback on what went good, and what went bad. It has definitely helped, we are more aware of each other when we argue, we don't let it roam for too long before we find a way to constructively talk about it again. A really big thank you for your support so far. - Christain J.
I’m really glad we reached out when we did, you’ve been such a great guide to help us understand each more, and you’ve helped us move away from destructive argumentes, and turn these moments of tension into learning opportunities where we can grow more as a couple. - Karen J.
