Relationship Coaching

Relationships Are at the Center of Life

They shape how we love, how we work, and how we grow. When they feel supportive, we thrive. When they feel heavy, confusing, or painful, everything else can feel harder. Coaching provides a grounded space to see yourself more clearly, explore what’s getting in the way, and practice new ways of relating — so you can step into relationships that feel more authentic and nourishing.

You might notice yourself:

  • Running into the same conflict or pattern again and again
  • Wondering whether a relationship is right for you, or what you want out of dating
  • Longing for intimacy but shutting down when you try to reach for it
  • Struggling with communication — either not speaking up, or not feeling heard
  • Trying to balance the needs of others with your own

Coaching can help you:

  • Reconnect with your clarity and inner truth

  • Build courage to have the conversations you’ve been avoiding

  • Break free from old patterns and experiment with new ways of relating

  • Create relationships that feel authentic, supportive, and alive

Inclusive Support at Every Stage

I work with individuals and couples in all stages of relating — whether you’re single, dating, partnered, or navigating a breakup. I support people across the full spectrum of orientations, identities, and relationship styles, from committed monogamy to open, polyamorous, or exploratory approaches. This is a space where your choices are respected, your truth is honored, and your full self is invited — including the parts related to sexuality, desire, and intimacy that often carry shame or confusion.

I also work with people who want to strengthen their professional relationships. Whether it’s with colleagues, supervisors, or teams, building relationship skills is just as essential in the workplace as it is at home.

Coaching for Men

Men often face unique pressures in how they’re “supposed” to show up in relationships. Many of us feel caught in a double bind: expected to be strong and stoic, yet also sensitive and vulnerable. At the same time, we may feel unsure how to express our masculinity — including our sexuality and desires — in a way that’s both confident and respectful in a culture that rightly prizes consent and responsibility. It’s easy to be left wondering how to “get it right,” while feeling discouraged from turning to other men for support. Coaching with a man provides a rare space to navigate these tensions and build more authentic connection.

You might notice yourself:

  • Having trouble expressing emotions or vulnerability
  • Collapsing, shutting down, or becoming defensive in the face of a partner’s big feelings
  • Feeling pressure to always “be the rock” while secretly carrying stress or loneliness
  • Wanting more intimacy but not sure how to ask for it without rejection or conflict

Coaching can help you:

  • Develop the capacity to stay grounded and connected in the face of intensity
  • Express your needs and desires clearly and respectfully
  • Build trust and intimacy without losing your strength or independence
  • Rewrite old stories about masculinity that keep you disconnected

Coaching for Women

Women often juggle multiple roles and expectations, sometimes feeling caught between showing up for others and advocating for themselves. Many find their voices dismissed or their boundaries questioned, or wrestle with the tension between nurturing others and honoring their own desires. These pressures can lead to burnout, disconnection, or settling for less than what truly nourishes them. Coaching offers a space to reclaim clarity and power, practice new ways of relating, and create relationships that feel both supportive and fulfilling — so you can lead, love, and live from a place of strength and authenticity.

You might notice yourself:

  • Feeling overwhelmed or drained from giving more than you receive
  • Struggling with self-worth or asserting boundaries
  • Carrying the burden of emotional labor — doing the unseen work of keeping relationships running smoothly
  • Wanting more equitable and supportive partnerships

Coaching can help you:

  • Reclaim your voice and practice self-advocacy
  • Create partnerships based on mutual respect and equality
  • Strengthen confidence in your boundaries and choices
  • Cultivate intimacy and connection that feel fulfilling

Coaching for Couples

Couples often come to coaching when arguments feel like they’re looping on repeat or when intimacy has started to fade. Others arrive at major life transitions — marriage, parenting, career shifts, or separation — unsure how to navigate them together. And just as often, couples come not because things are falling apart, but because they want to deepen their connection and build a shared vision for the future. Coaching offers a supportive space to move through challenges and grow toward what you both truly want.

You might notice yourself:

  • Having the same arguments on repeat without resolution
  • Feeling disconnected, distant, or misunderstood
  • Facing major life transitions that put strain on your relationship
  • Wanting to build a shared vision and deepen intimacy

Coaching can help you:

  • Improve communication and active listening skills
  • Address conflicts with compassion and clarity
  • Strengthen intimacy, empathy, and long-term partnership
  • Live into a shared vision for the relationship

Coaching for Professional Relationships

Not all relationship challenges happen at home. Many people struggle with colleagues, supervisors, or teams in ways that sap energy and impact success. Coaching around professional relationships can unlock more ease and effectiveness at work.

You might notice yourself:

  • Frustrated by difficult colleagues or supervisors
  • Feeling undervalued or misunderstood
  • Stressed or burned out by team dynamics
  • Unsure how to lead effectively or set boundaries

Coaching can help you:

  • Reclaim your voice and practice self-advocacy
  • Build partnerships grounded in mutual respect and effective collaboration

  • Strengthen confidence in your leadership, boundaries, and decision-making
