Relationship Coaching

“Ultimately, it’s the quality of our relationships
that will determine the quality of our lives.”  – Esther Perel

Our relationships are the cornerstone of our lives, so if one of our most important relationship is no longer bringing us the joy and fulfillment that it once did it can leave us feeling unsettled and questioning the way forward.

All throughout our lives we’ve been told stories about how once we find someone to commit our life to the rest should come easily.  Most of us quickly find out that this just isn’t the case.

As love develops over time it evolves from the energy and excitement of the new relationship and then gradually into the comfort and stability of the long-term. Each stage having its own challenges. 

There are so many intricacies that make each relationship unique, but healthy relationships have a few key components in common:

  • Compassionate communication skills

  • A deep understanding of each partner’s inner workings

  • They are mindful of the importance of quality time

  • Have a shared vision of the future

Working on important connection skills as early as possible is key to a happy and fulfilling relationship

Connecting in ways that make sense for you
Technology has opened up many options in the ways that we’re able to connect.
Whether you prefer face-to-face interactions, the convenience of telecommunications, or a combination, we are happy to schedule sessions in whatever way best fits your lifestyle.

On Location

If you live local to central Maine or are willing to travel we hold in-person sessions in our cozy office in Auburn, ME.

86 Main Street, Suite 302B
Auburn, ME 04210

Phone or Video

Virtual sessions by way of phone or video conferencing.

If you are not local to central Maine or your schedule doesn’t allow for you to meet in-person, we are available to meet by speaking on the phone or by secure online video conferencing.

What you can expect

What we do:

  • Use research-based assessments to determine strengths and areas that need attention in your relationship – allowing us to be more efficient in the work we do so you see results sooner.

  • Provide important skills that lead to better communication

  • Teach ways to resolve conflict and find compromise

  • Recognize reactivity that damages your relationship and learn to manage these intense emotions

  • Establish personal goals and then hold you accountable to help you achieve them

  • Work through betrayals and rebuilt trust

  • Work collaboratively with you – we are experts in relationships but you are the expert in your relationship.

What we don’t do:

  • Do the work for you – we can give you the skills but you’ll need to be ready to put them into practice

  • Tell you what you want to hear – we offer an objective perspective so you can see yourself in new ways

  • Be judgmental – we always work from a place of kindness and compassion, we will never judge or shame you.

  • Treat you as if you’re crazy or broken, because you’re not.

  • Allow you to stay small (you are capable of doing hard things, we’ll help you to get out of your own way)

  • Diagnose you – we do not treat mental health conditions so we will not pathologize you.
