Couples Coaching
Introduction
​
Welcome to couples coaching. Whether you’re in a marriage, a monogamous relationship, or a non-monogamous partnership, couples coaching offers a unique path to deepen understanding and connection. My aim is to bring about synergistic transformation; by that, I mean a unity that creates something more than each party could on their own. Your partnership is a potential for growth and evolution. When I join you, I will be drawing from my expertise with a master's in clinical psychology along with my intuitive knowledge of social dynamics, empathy and emotional attunement, and linear reasoning and logic. However, this is not therapy; this is more—it is an experience of collaborative expansion of our minds and our abilities to feel more intensely and intentionally.
At its core, this work is also about respect for each partner’s individuality, for the choice to be in the relationship, and for the decision to grow together. Choosing to enter couples coaching is, in itself, an indicator of a desire for growth, a desire to strengthen your bond in meaningful ways.
In our sessions, we’ll focus on drawing out and celebrating each partner’s unique strengths. Together, we’ll explore the power of interconnectedness through empathy and resonance, fostering a deeper intellectual and emotional understanding that builds a united foundation. This isn’t about fixing problems or addressing dysfunction; it’s about exploring the best of what you bring to each other and cultivating a bond that’s fuller and richer because of it.
Coaching, Not Therapy
​
Unlike therapy, which often addresses conflicts, deep-seated issues, or distressing symptoms, couples coaching is rooted in a place of mutual desire for growth, not treatment. Therapy treats the couple as a unit, working to resolve dysfunction and alleviate distress, often targeting issues like infidelity, family conflicts, or challenges around children. Couples coaching, however, assumes a baseline of stability and respect in the relationship. Here, we start from a foundation where both of you are ready to evolve, free from unresolved blocks that might hinder growth. It’s an exploratory, collaborative process where I reflect back your dynamic, provide insights, and help you identify areas of potential strength and growth.
In coaching, true depth comes from the nuances—the subtle, often overlooked moments that build intimacy. It’s in those pauses, those fleeting glances, those quiet connections where you really see each other. These are the moments that create intimacy, sparking a curiosity and genuine interest in one another. This depth extends to physical intimacy as well, where openness and fluidity bring greater closeness. When we allow ourselves to engage with less anxiety and more curiosity, the relationship becomes freer, more genuine, and grounded in a place of safety and comfort.
Fear often arises from our intellectual curiosities, as the mind naturally anticipates outcomes and assesses for safety. This survival response—our mind’s way of preparing for the unknown—can lead to anxiety, especially in relationships. (I also want to assure you that my style is warm, comforting, accepting, and grounding.) Fear in relationships often comes from concerns around rejection, judgment, abandonment, or embarrassment. I will address these with you. When we remove these fears, the relationship becomes a place of openness. Kindness plays a crucial role here; it diffuses judgment, allowing each partner to listen without bias and create a secure, judgment-free environment. As we address these fears, you both become more comfortable expressing your authentic selves, and the relationship deepens in its honesty and connection.
Our Vision
​
The goals we set together will be unique to you. We’ll begin by uncovering what genuinely fascinates you about each other. For instance, if you’re drawn to your partner’s generosity, we can explore where that trait comes from, how it makes them feel, and how it shapes their character. This process of curiosity leads to a foundation of growth, fostering appreciation and understanding for each other on a deeper level.
In these kinds of relationships, we’re seeking ideals rooted in reason, logic, and emotional balance. This isn’t an abstract concept; it’s a choice to pursue universal principles of respect, kindness, decency, and honesty. Relationships built on these values allow each partner to grow individually while creating a stronger, more fulfilling bond. I believe in this ideal—as a human being who knows this kind of relationship can exist. When we interact with respect for each other’s unique qualities, we create a collaborative space that transcends the individual, forming a synergy born from mutual desire and genuine connection.
What You'll Experience:
​
In my coaching style, and even in my day-to-day interactions, you’ll find a light, fluid, adaptive approach. I’m creative, intuitive, insightful, warm, and generous, with a commitment to support, encourage, and uplift you. I’m passionate about this work, and I know that this energy will resonate with you. Together, we’ll create something magical, a space that will transform the way you understand and interact with each other on an intimate level.
​
The value I bring to you lies in my ability to see the nuances and subtleties in your relationship—the layers that may be hard to notice alone. With my insights and reflections, we’ll uncover these depths, and together, we’ll build a bond that’s grounded in respect, enriched by understanding, and strengthened by shared purpose. It’s truly an honor to be part of this journey with you, and I’m here to support you as you grow and evolve together.
