Couples Coaching in Westchester County, NY

Rebuild communication, deepen connection, and strengthen your relationship through the Relationship Reset Method™

Relationships evolve, and even the strongest couples experience moments of distance, miscommunication, or emotional disconnect. If you’ve been feeling unheard, misunderstood, or stuck in recurring patterns, you’re not alone. You don’t have to navigate it without support.

As a Relationship Reset Expert, I help couples create clarity, strengthen emotional safety, and rebuild connection through a structured yet compassionate coaching approach. Whether you’re hoping to reconnect, improve communication, or prevent deeper issues, this process is designed to support meaningful, lasting change.

What Is the Relationship Reset Method™?

The Relationship Reset Method™ is a step-by-step couples coaching framework designed to help you:

  • Understand underlying emotional needs

  • Break free from recurring communication cycles

  • Create consistent emotional safety

  • Move from reactivity to understanding

  • Build habits that support long-term closeness

    It’s future-focused coaching, not therapy, for couples committed to growth.

How Couples Coaching Works

Step 1 — Relationship Foundation Session
We begin by uncovering the core dynamics shaping your relationship right now. This session brings clarity, relief, and direction by highlighting the patterns influencing your connection.

Step 2 — Session Recaps
After each session, you’ll receive a written recap with key insights and guidance to support your progress between sessions.

Step 3 — Customized Relationship Reset Plan
You’ll receive a tailored roadmap outlining the specific steps your relationship needs to strengthen communication, rebuild emotional safety, and grow together.

Step 4 — Weekly or Biweekly Coaching Sessions
We meet in Westchester County (or virtually) to practice tools, deepen understanding, strengthen communication, and rebuild emotional closeness at a steady, sustainable pace.

Step 5 — Ongoing Support as You Transition to Monthly Sessions
As you move into maintenance mode, optional check-ins help you maintain momentum and reinforce the techniques you’ve learned. This ensures growth continues long after coaching ends.

If you are ready to begin, you can book your Initial Foundation Session.

How This Differs from Infidelity Coaching

Couples coaching on this page is designed for partners who are not currently navigating infidelity or betrayal. The focus here is on improving communication, strengthening emotional connection, and rebuilding healthy relationship patterns.

If you are specifically healing after infidelity, you may need a more structured, trauma-informed approach.
In that case, please visit the Couples Coaching After Infidelity page, which outlines the process designed for betrayal recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do we know if couples coaching is right for us?

Couples coaching is a good fit if you’re experiencing emotional disconnection, communication struggles, frequent misunderstandings, or difficulty feeling close and aligned. Coaching provides clarity, tools, and structure so both partners feel supported and understood.

What does a relationship reset involve?

A relationship reset focuses on rebuilding emotional safety, improving communication, and creating new patterns that strengthen connection. I guide you step-by-step with a structured, practical process tailored to your relationship’s unique needs.

Can couples coaching help us communicate better?

Yes. Coaching helps you recognize communication patterns, break cycles of defensiveness or withdrawal, and learn tools for clearer, calmer, more effective conversations that reduce tension and increase closeness.

Is this the same as couples therapy or marriage counseling?

No. Coaching is future-focused, action-oriented, and centered on practical tools for connection, communication, and relational habits. It does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions. It’s ideal for couples who want accountability, guidance, and structure.

Is virtual couples coaching effective?

Yes. Many couples choose virtual sessions because they offer privacy, convenience, and flexibility. The coaching process remains structured and effective whether we meet in person or online.

How often should we schedule couples coaching sessions?

Most couples begin with weekly or biweekly sessions to build momentum. As communication strengthens and patterns shift, some transition to monthly sessions for continued growth and support.
