Relationship Coaching

When is the last time you felt truly connected to your spouse? Can you remember a day when you were actually excited to come home to your partner and spend quality time together?

 I’m betting if you’re here on my website these questions possibly made you roll your eyes and a small disbelieving laugh escaped your mouth.

Before we start working together my clients feel like they’re living in a relationship crap show. They are lonely even though there’s another adult person sharing a home with them. The people who come to me for help are exhausted, they’re so tired of living with someone who is supposed to love and cherish them but has become more of an inconvenient roommate.

You may be longing for a partnership with your spouse.  One that brings equality to your relationship when it comes to things like co-parenting and household tasks.  And that would be the bare minimum to start repairing your connection with your spouse.

What if you could have equally shared life responsibilities AND a partner with whom you feel seen and heard when you share your thoughts and feelings?

What if your conversations could turn from arguing to heart-based connected communication?

Could you imagine having so much trust in your spouse that you can be confident that you are safe to share your hopes, dreams and fears, and you know you will be supported in those areas even if your partner doesn’t fully agree with you?

When you join the Relationship Foundation Program you have the opportunity to turn your marriage into a true partnership.  You could be part of a dynamic duo that is considerate and polite, more willing to help one another and able to work on joint solutions.

Not only that, your relationship can be fun again.  Remember the days when even doing the dishes was fun as long as your partner was by your side?  Relationships Foundations can help you bring back playfulness and laughter.

Possibly the most important outcome of taking part in Relationship Foundation is that conflict is handled without inflicting damage on your partner.

You don’t have to settle for a life of pain and misery Let me help you make your relationship a happy one.

Why Coaching instead of therapy?

Coaching allows me to go beyond the limitations of therapy. In therapy, clients explore their past to figure out why they are the way they are and find healing from past events. Dredging up the past is not usually the best when it comes to moving forward and taking positive actions in relationships. Therapy is about how your past has influenced your present and why you do the things you do, while coaching is present to the future which is the reason it works better for relationships.

Of course, sometimes past events come up and need to be dealt with. Fortunately I am both a coach AND a licensed therapist.
