The coaching process is a deeply personal one, in which you and I will be working as equal partners to HELP you to achieve your goals. As such, it is absolutely crucial that you and I be comfortable working together, trusting each other and able to communicating openly about what matters most to you, because if there are any obstacles there, then one or both of us won't be able to give the process everything it needs in order for you to be successful.
Which is why there's a phone call...
I want to like and respect and be comfortable with you, and I want you to feel so great about working with me that you can't wait to dive into the process and get your life absolutely cranking in the right direction — and usually, that's exactly what happens! Unfortunately (as you and I both know) not everybody is able to be comfortable with everybody else, and sometimes the chemistry just feels "off".
If that happens, it's totally okay; it just means that we're not meant to work together. That's why this call is so important for both of us. By the end of it, we will both know if we're comfortable enough with one another to proceed; I'll know if I'm confident that you're ready to do the work needed, and you'll know if you're ready to take that deep breath and get on with living the life of your dreams. I'm ready when you are!
Now that we know we'll be comfortable working together, it's important that we both gain a better understanding of who you really are, inside (as compared with the "you" you usually show to other people), and that's what this session will be about. I know that can sound scary, but it's actually an awful lot of fun and often leads to comments like "Oh, wow..." "Gosh, that's amazing! I never knew THAT!"
In this session, you and I will discuss something that really matters to you (or is bothering or frustrating you) in a kind of depth and detail that you may or may not have done before. Working together, we will come up with a goal for the session (that is, one or more action steps for moving over, through, around or otherwise beyond this problem, until it is no longer a problem for you.

It has been said that the definition of a dysfunctional relationship is "any relationship that has more than one person in it"!
Like most good jokes, that one has a kernel of truth to it: relationships are delicate dances, not only because communications can break down when emotions and conflicting needs enter the picture, but also because most people not only don't understand their lover's, partner's or spouse's thinking processes, emotional needs and reaction styles, but they also don't understand their own! So, guess what happens if you don't know why something keeps happening and there's someone else in the room yelling, crying or not saying a word and just staring at you whenever there's a misunderstanding?
(Not ideal!)
In our sessions together, we will work together as three equals to unravel the knotted balls of string that make up your relationships, be they romantic or otherwise, and begin to learn the internal languages we all speak, so that misunderstandings can begin to turn into discussions and shared exercises in mutual goal fulfillment.
Because of the complexities involved, my relationship coaching model includes two full private sessions plus two 15-minute followup calls for each partner plus one joint session per month, with ample time between them to explore the action steps involved. Although this model is usually sufficient to address the challenges of the day, if additional individual or joint sessions are needed, they may be purchased at the cost of $250 per session, as my schedule permits.
