For Couples and Individuals
I’m not a licensed mental health provider. I do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. I am a relationship coach and help couples build skills and communication to connect and reconnect.
I have been coaching couples and individuals for many years. The couples I work with often feel stuck in the same arguments, disconnected after years together, or unsure how to talk about what matters most to them. Some are working through a specific challenge, and others simply want a stronger, more intentional partnership.
My approach draws on years of dedicated training. I completed three years of study in Integrated Kabbalistic Healing, which gave me a comprehensive and subtle framework for observing the different layers of conflict people are working through, from the surface disagreement to the deeper needs and values underneath it. I also have coaching training in Internal Family Systems for individuals and for couples, an approach I use to guide clients toward understanding the recurring patterns and reactions that keep them stuck, and toward building more balanced relationships. I draw as well on coaching tools, including Neurolinguistic Programming, to help clients move toward a greater sense of well-being.
Through thoughtful, targeted questions, I help you identify and organize the parts of your life that need the most attention. From there, we set clear goals and work toward them together.
I am creative in my approach and adapt my tools to each couple. I facilitate conversations that help you connect, and together we plan and structure the steps that build confidence and help you move forward. Couples who work with me come away with practical communication skills, a clearer understanding of each other, and a shared plan for the relationship they want.

A few thoughts to better know how I think about coaching.
Couples go through cycles of the same conflicts over and over, sometimes for many years.
You may see some of the cycles that you are in with your partner, and that is helpful. We will begin there.
I will see, perhaps a few more cycles than you have identified, and I will show you how to interrupt those dysfunctional communication patterns through a series of models and exercises. You will be amazed at how quickly you can have a productive disagreement.
Destructive disagreements, fights, and debates are the root of the kind of communication that degrades and weakens connection. In just a few sessions, many couples are able to move from debate back to dialogue and rediscover that they have not really been listening to one another. This builds goodwill, trust, and intimacy.
After we clean up typical patterns couples fall into, we can establish nourishing and positive communication that actually builds your relationship toward goals and mutual values and helps create a lasting bond.
