Why Is Starting with a Conversation the First Step Toward Healing?
If you want a grounded conversation about what’s happening and what support might help, you can begin with an Initial Foundation Session. This session will allow you to explore your needs and determine what kind of support would be most useful to you right now.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can relationship reset coaching help if my partner isn’t involved?
Yes. Many clients begin coaching on their own. You can start clarifying what you feel, steadying yourself, and changing patterns you participate in, even if your partner is not ready to join yet. Often, your individual work creates enough shift that a partner becomes more open to participating later.
What can I expect during my first coaching session?
Your first session is a structured conversation where you share what is happening, what you have already tried, and what you most want to change. Together we clarify your goals and map out next steps so you leave with a sense of direction rather than more confusion.
Is relationship coaching the same as therapy or counseling??
No. Coaching is future focused and action oriented. We work on communication, boundaries, repair, and next steps. Therapy is usually focused on diagnosing or treating mental health conditions and processing deeper clinical concerns. Coaching can complement therapy, but it does not replace it.
Do you offer evening or weekend coaching sessions?
Yes. I reserve some evening and limited weekend times for clients who have demanding schedules. Availability shifts throughout the year, so we will look together for a time that works with your life.
Do you work with clients outside Westchester County or New York??
Yes. In addition to in-person work in Westchester County, I offer virtual coaching for clients across New York State and in many other locations. As long as coaching is appropriate for your situation and time zones align, we can work together online.
