Communication, Family, Love, and Creativity
Relational Coaching
I work with people who are feeling stuck—in their relationships, their communication, or their creative expression. If you're navigating a tough conversation, a relationship rupture, or feeling disconnected, you’re in the right place.
I believe most relationships don’t fall apart because people stop caring — they fall apart because people stop knowing how to say what matters. We fumble for the right words, swallow what we really mean, or unintentionally say hurtful things. Over time, this erodes trust, closeness, and the chance to feel truly seen.
My coaching is about changing that.
I help people slow down and find the words that match what’s actually going on inside. Together, we untangle the knots — the old patterns, the unspoken truths, the stories beneath the surface — so they can be named and understood. I offer a space that’s honest, thoughtful, and practical. A place to practice saying the hard thing in a way that doesn’t destroy connection, but rebuilds it.
Because when you learn to speak from a place of clarity and self-respect, you don’t just communicate better — you change the outcome. You stop spinning in conversations that go nowhere. You stop losing time to silence or conflict. You learn how to connect, repair, and lead with presence.
Here’s how I can support you:
You’re experiencing communication breakdowns in love, work, or family and want tools to move through it with clarity and confidence.
You want to bring up something hard but don’t know how—or you’ve already tried, and it didn’t go well.
You’re struggling to connect (or reconnect) with important people in your life, and want honest, thoughtful support on how to show up better.
You’re navigating the world of dating and want to do it with more self-trust and integrity.
You’re a creative person feeling stalled or unsure what to work on next—and want guidance to reconnect with what lights you up.
What I don’t do:
I don’t help people build businesses, market their work, or make money. My focus is on the internal—what you want to say, what you want to feel, and how you want to show up in your relationships and creative life.
I cannot diagnose or treat mental health symptoms
I'm currently opening space for new clients and offering a free 60-minute session to get started. This is a chance for you to bring in whatever you're navigating—relationship struggles, creative blocks, tough conversations—and see what coaching with me feels like.
If it feels like a fit and you'd like to continue, I’m offering a sliding scale of $30–$50 per session for your next five sessions. No pressure, no commitment upfront—just an open door and a place to start.
Let’s have a real conversation.
Book an appointment.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
If you're feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward—this is your invitation. You don’t have to keep circling the same patterns alone. Together, we’ll explore what’s really going on and start making space for something new.
As part of this special offer, I’ll be asking for your honest feedback along the way. This helps me grow as a coach, and ensures your experience is truly supportive and valuable.
Let’s begin.
Your first session is free. Your next chapter is waiting.
What is Relational Coaching?
Relational coaching is a style of coaching that focuses on the quality of your relationships—with others, and with yourself. Rather than just setting goals or solving surface-level problems, relational coaching explores how you show up in connection, how you communicate, and what patterns may be playing out in your relationships at work, in love, family, or friendship.
This approach is grounded in the idea that our growth happens in relationship—through honest dialogue, emotional awareness, and real-time feedback. A relational coach helps you become more conscious of your relational dynamics, navigate conflict with clarity and compassion, and practice new ways of connecting that feel more true to who you are.
Theory of Change:
From Disconnection to Connection
1. Awareness: Spot the Pattern
Disconnection often starts with miscommunication — repeated arguments, silences, or misunderstandings that become ingrained. The first shift is learning to recognize these patterns, both internal and relational. This includes noticing defensiveness, criticism, avoidance, or emotional shutdown — what the Gottmans call “The Four Horsemen.”
Change begins with the ability to say: “Ah, this is where we lose each other.”
2. Emotional Clarity: Name What’s Real
Most conflict isn’t about the surface issue — it’s about what’s unspoken underneath. Clients learn how to slow down and identify what they’re actually feeling and needing. This inner clarity becomes the foundation for authentic, non-reactive communication.
When you can name what’s going on inside, you stop outsourcing your clarity to conflict.
3. Communication Tools: Say It Better
Clients learn practical skills for navigating difficult conversations with more care and less damage. Drawing from both coaching and Gottman tools, this includes softened start-ups, repair attempts, boundary-setting, and attuned listening. Clients also build “love maps” or deeper understanding of others — especially in high-stakes or emotionally charged relationships.
The goal isn’t perfect communication — it’s real, respectful, and repairable communication.
4. Connection Rituals: Rebuild Trust Through Action
As communication improves, clients begin to create or re-create habits that foster closeness — whether that’s emotional check-ins, small daily appreciations, or honest debriefs after conflict. These micro-moments are what build macro-trust.
Trust doesn’t return all at once — it grows in the small, consistent moments where someone feels heard.
5. Meaning & Intention: Make the Relationship a Living Thing
Whether in love, family, or work, the most resilient relationships have shared meaning — a sense of “why this connection matters.” Clients move from reactive communication to intentional relating. They become more able to show up with presence, boundaries, and purpose.
At this stage, clients aren’t just reacting better — they’re relating differently.

I'm a certified life coach through the JRNI Coaching Intensive, an 8-month program rooted in psychology, deep listening, and real-world tools for transformation. My focus is on helping people navigate communication breakdowns—whether in love, family, work, or creative expression.
Right now, I'm in a season of growth. I'm actively gaining hours of experience and working with a mentor, David Stockhausen of Iron John Coaching. David is an empath, somatic guide, and truth-teller with a background in emotional intelligence, trauma work, grief work, men’s work, group work, skills for change and authentic communication. Together, he’s helping usher me into the coaching world with integrity and care.
With David’s mentorship, I’ll be consulting on certain topics that arise in our sessions—bringing more depth and perspective to the work we do. This is a collaborative process, and you're invited to be part of it.
If you’re ready for change, I’m here for the real, the messy, and the meaningful.
