Couples Coaching: Rebuilding safety, connection, and repair.

A 90-day relational coaching program based in Courtney's training in Relational Life Therapy. This is for couples ready to break patterns and reconnect. Stuck in the same arguments? Cycles of escalation and shutdown? This work helps you understand why patterns keep repeating — and how to shift them from the inside out.

This is not about fixing one partner or deciding who's right. It's about learning how your nervous systems interact, how repair actually happens, and how to come back to each other when things get hard.

My approach is relational, trauma-trained, and nervous-system informed. We focus on emotional safety rather than blame, patterns rather than positions, and repair rather than winning. Sessions are direct, compassionate, and practical: we work with what's actually happening between you, in real time.

I integrate Relational Life Therapy (RLT) principles, nervous-system regulation, breath-based practices, and family-of-origin awareness to help couples create lasting change.

The 90-Day Couples Coaching Program

Designed for real change over time, not just insight in a single session.

01

Weekly couples coaching sessions

12 weeks of 60-minute sessions.

Weekly open office hours

Along with an open breathwork session — for accountability, questions, wins, and support.

The Regulate & Repair Toolkit

RLT-based scripts and frameworks to help you stop spiraling, repair quickly, and build emotional safety in real time.

I deeply believe couples need time, support, and space to embody what they're learning. This structure allows couples to practice, integrate, and repair between sessions, rather than trying to do everything alone.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

Relational Life Therapy is an integrative approach to couples therapy created by Terry Real, LICSW. It equips people with lifelong skills to build more authentic, honest, and intimate connections. RLT helps individuals move away from "one up" (grandiose, dominant) stances while also lifting others out of shame — creating healthier, more balanced relationships.
