Relationship Work
Constructive Conflict Resolution
As opposed to thinking in terms of “you” and “me”, my Relationship Work sessions are focused on the “us” that you and your significant other together created in the first place. Using Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC™) principles, I reorient your focus to the Third Entity™, or in other words, your relationship. Throughout the process, we’ll discover new possibilities, together.

Protecting Your Relationship from the Four Horsemen
The Four Horsemen
Coined by Dr. John Gottman, a world-renowned relationship and marriage researcher and professor, The Four Horsemen is a phrase that symbolizes the most destructive relationship behaviors: criticism/blame, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling. In most instances of divorce or separation, one or more of these negative behaviors are present at toxic levels.

Mending Strained Relationships
Even the most steadfast relationships experience ups and downs. When conflicts arise, human nature tells us to protect ourselves, neglecting the relationship in the process. Consequently, we place undue strain on the people and relationships that matter most. My goal isn’t to remove the low points from your relationship. They truly are inevitable. Instead, my objective is to reorient your perception regarding conflict while teaching you how to respond instead of react.
Throughout the process, you will learn actionable strategies to keep The Four Horsemen from contributing to the deterioration of your relationship. Will they surface from time to time? Yes. The key, however, is taking mitigating actions when they do appear and using each occurrence as an opportunity to increase your awareness. As you grow a deeper and more holistic understanding of your thoughts, tendencies, and actions, you will be in a better position to repair old issues while facilitating a brighter and more fulfilling future for you and your partner.
