General Questions About Relationship Coaching
What is relationship coaching and how is it different from therapy?
Relationship coaching focuses on forward-looking solutions and practical systems rather than past healing. While therapy helps couples process trauma or deep-seated issues, our coaching programs provide actionable tools for sharing mental load, building sustainable partnership habits, and maintaining connection through life transitions.
What are your credentials and experience?
I am an ICF certified relationship coach with advanced training in the Gottman method, Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC), and conflict management. As a trained master celebrant, I bring unique expertise in ceremony design and relationship rituals. My approach is informed by seven years of research into relationship equity and gender dynamics, allowing me to provide evidence-based solutions for modern couples.
How do your virtual coaching sessions work?
All coaching sessions are conducted via secure video platform. Sessions are baby-friendly and scheduled at times that work for your family. Program materials are accessible 24/7, and exercises can be completed at your convenience.
