I believe in happily ever after, great relationships, and marriages that thrive…

The reality, however, is intimate relationships require awareness and skills no one ever taught us. I know firsthand what it’s like to live with undercurrents of unresolved conflict, feeling disconnected, and (if we’re honest) feeling disillusioned.

Many of my clients have tried couples therapy and instead of feeling better it left them discouraged, the focus seemingly only on the negative, and alternative relationship skills lacking so any progress was not sustained.

Creating a positive environment is paramount to my coaching style. Instead of looking at your struggles as roadblocks we recognize and appreciate their opportunity for growth and improvement. Your desire to be happier together signifies you value the importance of your relationship and its effect on your quality of life.

My approach is productive and positive… We will actively define what your relationship needs to provide the love, intimacy, and happiness you both desire. By focusing on what you want, rather than what you don't want, we will take action to make small shifts that result in significant improvement. Your desired future will guide our journey, allowing you to actively participate in shaping it.

During our coaching sessions, you will acquire valuable relationship skills and awareness. Such as how to listen with the intent to understand rather than to react, supporting each other's growth individually and as a couple, and how to replace negative cycles with constructive ones.

Through my couples coaching, you will discover the four essential elements that can transform your relationship and how to incorporate them. Here is where we focus on having fun again.

You will learn how to handle conflict and challenges in a way that strengthens your bond, instead of undermining it.

In doing so we will uncover personal triggers that are likely an underlying issue. Together I will teach you both how to manage them better, while gaining a deeper compassion for one another.

My ultimate goal is to help you establish new patterns that fully support the relationship you envision.

Working together to improve your relationship should be a source of pride, not dread. By focusing on the good, you will quickly witness and feel sustainable improvement.

If what you seek is a happier, healthy relationship, that thrives, I am uniquely positioned to help you. I understand your struggles, as I have likely experienced many of them myself. Whether you’ve been together for years, are facing challenging circumstances, or wanting to learn great relationship skills so your new relationship is a success, our time together will be invaluable.

What Couples Are Saying

I think the way you figure out what each of us actually wants and then get us to commit to each other and reassure each other is important. I think the homework is important too.. the books (including the Gottman Man's guide to women), the written and interactive exercises... The homework assignments are good for our relationship in and of themselves but also they serve as a reminder that it takes constant effort to keep the relationship healthy. Same with the recurring sessions. As in, doing this coaching and homework keeps relationship health front-of-mind for both of us.... I simply think that you are good at what you do and that makes a big difference..

The single biggest factor in my overall happiness is how I relate to my wife, and working with you has improved that. I think this has to do with a handful of factors. You are seeing both of us together and 1-1... I feel that I can only get so far by myself seeing somebody in your role, and that part of the equation has to be her seeing somebody individually as well, and us seeing somebody jointly. Having that be the same person has obvious advantages I think. Related to this point – my wife is averse to therapists and marriage counselors - I think generally she finds them unclear and unhelpful. Being able to see somebody in a coaching role I think offers many of the same benefits but in a style that is more easily consumable for her personality type. Convincing my wife to participate in something like this was crucial, and she wouldn't have done it with a traditional marriage counselor. Also, having seen my fair share of mental health care professionals over the years, I have gotten tired of feeling like I am talking about my problems all the time and rehashing fights over and over again... working with you feels much more interactive and progressive.

Scott, Cape Cod MA

My wife and I have been together for 20 years and have two small children. We came very close to divorce, which helped us realize that neither of us actually wanted to break up but that we needed to change our relationship if we were to remain together. That is when we contacted Lisa. We have done several sessions with Lisa and have noticed significant improvement in our marriage already in our short time seeing her. Lisa is a talented coach - direct, clear, and with a deep knowledge of human psychology and practical steps for improving wellbeing and relationships. I particularly like the way she assigns "homework" to us, then reviews it prior to our meeting with her, and uses it as a base for uncovering and addressing beliefs and behaviors that are harming our marriage. She is extremely thoughtful and diligent in her preparation, and she has a gift for connecting ideas in a way that is compelling, drawing on useful frameworks and her experience to make things clear. I also like that Lisa's coaching style feels more relatable and straightforward compared to marriage counselors that we have seen over the years, which suits both my personality and my wife's personality better. I would enthusiastically recommend Lisa to anyone looking to improve their life and relationships, as working with her has been so effective for us
