Relationship Coaching

Mastering the skills for intimacy

Everything is relational - we are in relationship to ourselves and each other; and to behaviors, substances, work, money, emotions, and creativity. Relationship coaching is a process of uncovering what really makes each of us tick; where we align with one another, where we don’t, and how to be with the best and the worst of ourselves and our relationships.

We are in a time of shifting frameworks, especially in romantic partnerships. The old rules are mostly out and the new rules are developing. Where many relationship experts and intimacy coaches promise certainty, my approach is based on teaching skills to navigate the complexities - the challenging and the wonderful - of connection.

I offer expert guidance and mentorship, facilitating new experiences and skills to bring more ease, more choice, and more pleasure to every facet of our lives and relationships.
