Online Relationship Coaching - Monroe NC

Are You Wanting To Improve A Relationship?

We are all works in progress, like an unfinished novel. I help people realize they have the ability to take authorship of their lives...
because the best parts are the ones they haven't written yet.

— Barbara J. Peters

I Coach Individuals and Couples

I offer relationship coaching to individuals and couples by phone or remotely by computer. A relationship coach is someone who supports individuals and couples in learning vital skills for "relating" to others, especially in marriages and romantic partnerships. Relationship coaching teaches you to develop conflict resolution skills and to learn tools that will help you relate to others.

Relationship Coaching Is Great For Common Relationship Issues Involving...

Romantic Relationships
Parent-Grownup Child Relationships
Business Relationships
In-Law Relationships
Best Friend Relationships
Relationship with Yourself

We will work together and focus to identify your personal goals, create a plan to achieve them and make it happen. Our work will be designed for success.

What's The Difference Between Coaching and Counseling?

I provide coaching only, but sometimes individuals and couples may benefit from counseling. Relationship Coaching and Relationship Counseling both focus on making changes. Here are some differences to help you decide which is the best choice for you.
