Relationship Coaching
Love and Intimacy
I believe that relationships are the most important priority in life and that the relationship we have with ourselves is our most precious and powerful resource. Relationship counseling and coaching is designed for anyone interested in improving their connections at home, at work and in the world. Create greater fullfillment in your dating and committment stages as well as in your long term relationships, enjoying many years together. Family members who are having difficulty getting along and friendships that are in need of healing will also benefit from your increased ability to be present. Let’s work together to build genuine loving and accepting connection to yourself and bring this forward to all your partners in life.
Navigating Life Transitions
Life offers us many transitions, from the time of our birth and growing up into the years we move out in our own direction. We go to college, we begin careers, we enter and exit relationships, we begin families, we retire and all along the way we assess our goals and adjust our paths to move in the direction of our developing values. Transitions may be planned out by us or may be tossed upon us unexpectantly. Change is a constant and navigating change is an essential skill to walking the path of life with ease and joy. Whatever your current transition in life, coaching can help you by providing a guide as you uncover your deepest purpose and desires in order to bring your dreams to life.
Managing Work Relationships
Relationships in your career, both internally and externally with customers and partners can have a significant effect on your future success. Having confidence and self awareness will lead to both increased satisfaction and growth in the workplace. Do you want to learn to build strong cohesive teams that utilize people to their highest potential? Would you like to bring greater clarity to your next steps towards promtion, resignation or transfering? You can begin by investing the time and presence necessary to understand yourself, your values and your strengths. As you are able to find your center, you will uncover a unique blueprint aligned to your specific carreer vision and purpose.

Why Work in Relationship?
“Whether we are loving each other in our bedrooms, playing games with our kids, learning to be more respectful when we think of those that are unlike us, or striving to be kinder when we speak to ourselves, we welcome the dispossed within us and without. We emerge from the great lie of individuality and turn towards our wounded planet, our wounded neighbors. We restore in relationship our own wounded selves. This is our work, our calling, with luck it is our destiny. The stakes could hardely be higher.”
