I approach each coaching conversation with curiosity - helping you uncover your truth.
Let’s thoroughly explore your options regarding staying in or leaving your current relationship. I am a couples counselor trained in the Gottman method and I understand many of the common reasons for marital dissatisfaction.
Together we will uncover and examine your expectations for the relationship, explore what is everyday stress versus an unsolvable issue, and discuss how you communicate your needs. In our coaching, you may gain clarity about how you can stay in and improve your relationship.
You also may discover that you want coaching to help you prepare for the split. In that case, we can look at your financial forecast, potential career changes, parenting demands, and living situation.
