Not all couples are married—but all relationships need repair sometimes. Whether you’re dating, in a long-term partnership, co-parenting, or not sure where you stand, this is relationship support that cuts through the confusion.

You’re in a relationship - but you’re not sure how to make it work.

Or if it even can.

You may be:

• Dating and unsure where it’s going
• Long-term partners who feel stuck in a loop
• Co-parents struggling to stay connected
• Together but not “in” it anymore
• Wondering whether this relationship still has a future

No matter where you’re starting from, I’ll meet you there.
Together, we’ll work toward the relationship you both want to build or get clear if that’s no longer possible

What We Work On

Together, we work on the patterns that keep getting in your way. Whether you’re dealing with communication breakdowns, emotional shutdowns, spirals of blame, or unmet needs, help you get underneath what’s really going on.

You’ll learn how to:

• Communicate with accountability instead of escalation
• Reconnect without waiting for the "right mood"
• Spot your reactive loop and stop it faster
• Turn conflict into clarity instead of chaos

What Makes This Work Different?

This isn’t communication skills 101.
This is deep, honest, practical work using Relational Life Therapy (RLT),   an approach that cuts through surface dynamics and teaches you how to:

• Speak the truth with respect
• Name your needs without shame
• Repair conflict quickly and cleanly
• Build (or rebuild) trust without blame
• Show up as full, accountable partners

It’s fast, focused, and real.

No fluff. No blame. Just tools, truth, and transformation.

What You Can Expect

✔️ Online sessions, day, evening, and weekends
✔️ Support for couples at any stage, not just married
✔️ Guidance for navigating power struggles, distance, or shutdown
✔️ Honest, personalized feedback (not just nodding)
✔️ Actionable tools that you’ll actually use

Whether you're just starting out, or have been circling the same patterns for years, it’s not too early or too late to do this work.

Who This Is For

This work is ideal for couples who feel disconnected, stuck in survival mode, or unsure how to move forward. You don’t have to be married to want something better, you just have to be willing to show up.

• Couples dating or in long-term partnerships
• LGBTQ+ couples or non-traditional relationships
• Couples not sure whether to stay or go
• Partners navigating betrayal, resentment, or emotional disconnection
• Anyone ready to stop the blame cycle and start showing up
