PARTNERS FIRST Private Couples Coaching for Healthier Communication, Stronger Partnership & Relationship Clarity
You can love each other and still struggle to know how to do relationships well.
PARTNERS FIRST is a structured couples-coaching program designed to help you understand what is happening in your relationship, identify the patterns that are keeping you stuck, and learn practical relationship skills for building a healthier partnership.
This is not about keeping a relationship together at all costs.
The goal is to help you communicate more clearly, handle conflict more effectively, strengthen connection, understand each other better, and gain clarity about what your relationship needs next.
HOW IT WORKS
60 minutes | $150 per couple
We begin with both partners together to discuss what is working, where you are struggling, what you hope to change, and whether PARTNERS FIRST is the right fit for you.
This gives us a chance to meet, talk honestly about the relationship, and decide whether you would like to continue. This program can also be used as pre-marital coaching as well.
120 minutes | $275 per couple
If you continue, both partners complete the PARTNERS FIRST Relationship Map assessment.
I review your responses before our session and identify the major strengths, differences, patterns, concerns, and growth areas within your relationship. Then I create a custom presentation, each week, to learn relationship skills specifically for your relationship.
Together, we look at areas such as communication, conflict, emotional regulation, compatibility, trust, intimacy, boundaries, values, money, shared responsibilities, closeness, independence, and future goals.
From there, we create individualized goals for your relationship.
90 minutes | $200 per session
The complete PARTNERS FIRST curriculum includes 16 progressive sessions covering skills such as:
communication and emotional regulation;
conflict and repair;
boundaries and consent;
expectations and compatibility;
trust and intimacy;
attachment and interdependence;
shared responsibility and decision-making;
and maintaining friendship, affection, connection, and teamwork.
Each session combines relationship education with coaching tailored to the issues showing up in your actual relationship.
The curriculum provides the structure. Your relationship becomes the case study.
NO LARGE UPFRONT COMMITMENT
You do not have to purchase the entire program in advance.
After the initial consultation, you continue one session at a time. Each upcoming session is invoiced and must be paid before the appointment.
That means you are free to continue through the entire program or stop if you reach the clarity you need, decide another type of professional support is more appropriate, or determine that continuing the relationship is no longer the right goal.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
PARTNERS FIRST may be a good fit if you:
keep having the same arguments;
struggle with communication or repair;
feel disconnected or resentful;
want better boundaries or conflict skills;
are navigating differences around sex, money, parenting, family, or future plans;
are engaged and want stronger relationship skills before marriage;
struggle with defensiveness, over functioning, anxious attachment or avoidant attachment
or simply want to build a more intentional, emotionally healthy partnership.
PARTNERS FIRST is relationship coaching and education, not psychotherapy. Relationships involving violence, coercive control, intimidation, sexual coercion, stalking, or serious safety concerns may require specialized professional support instead of couples coaching.
