One partner feels alone and like they don't matter and the other feels they are always being criticized and can't get anything right. The more one asks for the other to show up, the more the partner disappears physically and emotionally. You both bicker and fight and the idea of sitting and just hanging out seems elusive, if not impossible. Something like this? Often we crave connection but are blocked by the pain and the history that gets in the way. Small fights about little things become battles that highlight our struggle to have our basic relational needs met. If you are struggling in your relationship, we can help you get under the bickering to the wounded and guarded parts to allow you to reconnect to the person you fell in love with. We pull from relationship models proven to be effective in helping relationships through research. If you are ready to do the work, we can help you cultivate a relationship beyond "fixes." A healthy relationship is one of the most life-giving experience we can have. We offer a free consultation appointment. Message me for my calendar link or schedule a free consult through our website, wellcoachedlife. com INDIVIDUAL: Dysfunction is often rooted in stressful or traumatic events—whether egregious affronts or less overt encounters— whether we lived it or it is trauma passed down intergenerationally. These events can arise from, and manifest in, various areas of our life. It feels like anxiety, stress, depression, or even failure. We feel it in our bodies as pain, medical, issues and more. Our team or expert therapists and coaches pull from various evidence-based models to work with your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual self, to allow you to find deep, authentic, and meaningful relationships and create and preserve a whole, happy, and thriving life.

GRIT Kids: Our Youth and Family Program: GRIT is the ability to sustain long term goals in the face of adversity. Resilience becomes the byproduct, which is necessary for independence— and what more could we want for our children. Through curiosity about our thoughts and feelings, we grow the insight to develop, evolve, adapt and transform. GRIT is an in-home coaching service to help you and your child cultivate self-awareness, to target behavioral goals, develop emotion management, resolve stressful or traumatic experiences and more. See Wellcoachedlife. com/Grit to learn more SPIRITUAL COACHING: Often, when people reach out to me for spiritual coaching, it is because they have experienced a trauma that is fundamentally blocking their ability to fully exist in their body, in this world, and connect with their greater purpose. Our coaches hold Master's degrees in Theology to support the deeper questions of meaning and theodicy. This helps us support our clients' work through the traumas to use their faith/spirituality to connect into all levels of their existence and live into their greater purpose. This is the hardest- and most rewarding- work my clients do. Message for a link to schedule a free consultation session to see if you would be a good fit. LIFE COACHING: Life Coaching is a collaborative way to help identify and shape goals, formulate strategies to achieve these goals, and develop a plan to successfully implement these strategies. A coach is the person who holds you accountable to yourself by providing you practical steps to move forward and concrete solutions to the barriers. Most importantly, I am the person who says, “Nope, no way. Not gonna happen” when the part of you that sabotages yourself tries to thwart your efforts. Some of our clients have received coaching to: start a new business; manage balance between work, family and school; identify and develop skill deficiencies; develop relationship and dating skills; develop organizational skills or time management skills; develop clear communication skills; and much more.
