Testimonials

“I had no idea that I was contributing to the tension—that I was escalating things through my own anxiety. Coaching completely reframed my thinking on the disagreement I was having.”

“I didn’t want to burden my friends and couldn't talk to my spouse...I’m already in therapy but I needed something more prescriptive—help with what to say and do. Coaching nailed that.”

“My wife and I thought we needed couples therapy…. But what we really needed was practical support–guidance for what to do when conflicts flared up. Coaching has given us a new language…and made things so much easier to navigate.”
