I coach couples in long-term partnerships on communication patterns, conflict, and the slow work of repairing what's become habitual. Eleven years as a relationship coach. I'm not a therapist and I won't pretend to be — if the issue is clinical or involves trauma, I refer out. My coaching is for the many couples whose problems aren't clinical: they're patterns that have set, assumptions that have calcified, and conversations that are having each other instead of being had.
