Thriving Relationships begin with you…
“When you move beyond pain and protection and learn to relate from a heart - centered place, you’ll experience more relational success in your intimate partnerships, your family, your organization and your community. As a collective, living relationally also has a positive impact on communities and the planet at large.”
— CATHY COURTENAY
My Philosophy
Build a richer life through deep, authentic connections
The richness of life lies in our relationships. Truly fulfilling relationships are built on deep connection and intimacy, yet so many of us are afraid of opening up and making ourselves vulnerable with another.
I am passionate about supporting you in building deeper relationships with yourself and others whether it’s in your romantic partnership, family or organization so that you can live a truly fulfilling, pleasurable, and meaningful life.
Are relationships feeling difficult for you? Is it hard to feel the closeness you long for with your spouse, your children, in your friendships? You’re doing your best, you’re paying attention but still… you keep repeating similar patterns of disconnection. You’re afraid to ask for what you need, to reveal your “less evolved” parts of yourself, to show your vulnerabilities. You feel unseen, unheard and a little less alive than you would like.
Having the courage to be present with the more difficult parts of yourself could be the greatest gift you ever gave to yourself and those around you…
PRESENCE, CONNECTION, SELF-AWARENESS, AUTHENTICITY, VULNERABILITY, SOVEREIGNTY
Once these skills are developed, you’ll be the kind of person that others think, “There’s something different about them.” They’ll be left intrigued, wanting to know more, leaning in.
Best of all, when you open up to deeper connections, other aspects of your life get better too.
I look forward to working with you!

Couples Intensives
Some relationships reach a moment where weekly sessions no longer feel like enough.
When long-standing patterns, unresolved hurts, or meaningful crossroads arise, it can be supportive to slow down and give your relationship the time and attention it deserves.
A Couples Intensive offers a spacious, intentional environment to explore what’s happening between you — with care, honesty, and depth.
This is an opportunity to step out of the pace of everyday life and tend to your relationship with presence and purpose.
This work is not about blame or quick fixes.
It’s about cultivating a more honest, respectful, and connected way of being together.
Relationship is the doorway for the greatest pleasures in life.
