Couples Coaching

Get to know yourself and your partner in a way that
lets you thrive together AND as individuals.

 
 
 
 

Let’s get real for a second…

The pressures, expectations, and demands on relationships are greater than ever.

No wonder that couples feel buried under the layers of their obligations and real connection, solid communication, and joyful togetherness becomes blurry and strained.

In other words, you are not alone in your experience and there is hope!

Instead of chasing some kind of perfect ideal that you might see in other couples, we will spend our time tuning into YOU, your lives, what’s working and what’s not, and how you can create a beautiful life with aligned goals for a fulfilling, fun, and connected future.

 
 
 

Hi, I am Caroline.

As an Integrative Coach & Joy Mentor with a background in Counseling Psychology I’m here to help you slow down, create the space to hear and see each other and reconnect with your partner in a way that honors you both as individuals AND as a couple.

As a married person with three kids myself, I know how complex, layered and busy life can be. My strength is in helping my clients see things from a fresh perspective and find a new path together that is uniquely tailored to them as well as practical and realistic.


FAQs

What’s the difference between Couples Coaching & Couples Therapy?

The biggest difference between coaching and therapy is that coaching focuses on the future and what a couple (or an individual) wants to create and accomplish while therapy looks at the past to resolve issues that stem from one’s childhood or past experiences. Naturally the two modalities overlap to some extent, but the general orientation and lens differs.

How does Couples Coaching work?

If you decide to see me for couples coaching we will begin by looking at your current lives. I will ask questions to get to know you as who you are as individuals and who you are as a couple to understand the union you are creating. I will also ask a little bit about your history and how you got to where you are today. Then we will look at what is creating stuckness, tension, and miscommunication presently. We will identify what is not working, what triggers you and what needs to change. We will talk about your goals, your values, and your hopes for the future so that you can become a strong team that is truly working together and rooting for each other. We will then begin to make small, consistent, and powerful shifts and adjustments in how you currently do/ think/ react to things, which will ultimately add up to feel like a new foundation from which you can thrive as individuals and together. And ideally, we will also get you to place where you can really have fun together again, because what is better than laughing with the person you love?!

My sessions are virtual (phone or zoom) and last 45 minutes.

Depending on what you need, we will either meet every week or twice per month.
