Ready for change?

"Alison has a wonderful way of easing into the different exercises, talking you through them, and making you feel extremely comfortable and safe."

 

I empower couples and families to create profound, lasting change in their relationships that really works.

 

If what you've been doing thus far to solve your issues has not been working, to get different results, you need to try something different.

 

I invite you to open your mind to a powerful reset in your relationship: mindful communication.

 

Mindfulness means slowing down, being present, highly observant, and kind, without judgement.

Openness, curiousity, and acceptance become guiding principles.

​

Unlike standard counseling that can focus more on the historical and why you are the way you are, I offer a unique communication training or "mini-course" combining Gestalt and Imago practices. These approaches create more honest conversations about the present that feel gentler, loving, and clear.

​

These simple techniques focus not so much on the content of your issues, but the process you find yourselves in when you try to talk about them.

​

If you fix the process, you can talk about anything. I coach you through the important topics you want to explore while using the tools that get you the critical result: feeling seen and heard.

 

I help you avoid making your partner defensive, (the #1 way talks go off the rails), and support you to feel safe enough to show more and more of the real you to your

partner. 

 

Coming to know each other on this deeper level is how real intimacy grows.

​

I teach you how to focus on the here-and-now, avoid dwelling on past grievances, and instead move productively forward with positive change.

 

I take you step-by-step through impactful lessons. From setting ground rules for conversations, to establishing your long-term relationship vision, you'll learn how to better describe your emotions, and really listen.

​

Delight in new tools that make your conversations come alive again, untangle conflicts, and reconnect with joy and intimacy for years to come.

​

"Alison's skilled facilitation guides you to feel truly seen as your authentic self, while you're supported to let go of old ideas."
