Through coaching and workshops, I help individuals and couples learn and practice relational skills to create more connection, intimacy, support, and care in their relationships  I founded and am the principal coach at Couples Focus.  I combine Nonviolent Communication (NVC), Internal Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Secular Buddhism, and mindfulness to help clients embrace interdependence in romantic and family relationships.

My standard offerings include coaching for individuals and couples, workshops on relationship skills, NVC practice groups, and groups for men to facilitate intimacy, vulnerability, and empathy. I offer workshops and practice groups for several organizations including with Lisa Gottlieb through Great Lakes Nonviolent Communication.

In addition, I have designed and delivered mindfulness and compassionate communication programs for youth.  I continue to be interested in future opportunities and collaborations to support youth in learning and practicing NVC.
