Relationship coaching is a proactive approach to building and maintaining healthy relationships. It focuses on enhancing communication, emotional intimacy, and connection between partners. Unlike therapy, which often addresses deep-seated emotional issues and past traumas, coaching is goal-oriented and solutions-focused, aiming to prevent problems before they escalate and strengthen the relationship. Coaching does not label or diagnose and is not a substitute for therapy or mental healthcare.

Coaching and therapy serve different purposes. There is a time and a place for both. Although Lea is a licensed therapist, she chooses to operate only as a coach at this time. Therapists can be coaches, but not all coaches can be therapists:

• Coaching: Goal-oriented, focuses on the present and future, proactive strategies, and relationship enhancement. Ideal for couples seeking to build a stronger connection and prevent issues. Rather than something "being wrong".

• Therapy: Addresses deeper emotional and psychological issues, often dealing with past traumas and significant emotional challenges. Therapy is conducted by licensed therapists and may involve long-term treatment and diagnosis.

Premarital coaching helps couples prepare for marriage by building a strong foundation of emotional intimacy, communication, and connection. It focuses on proactive strategies to address potential challenges before they become issues down the road that may be unforseen, ensuring a resilient and joyful marriage.

My coaching services are designed for marriage-minded individuals and couples at various stages of their relationship. Whether you’re dating, engaged, newly married, or experiencing life after kids and want to feel that young spark again in mid/early adulthood, coaching can help you build a strong, lasting relationship.

All coaching meetings are held virtually via Zoom, offering flexibility and convenience for clients worldwide. Sessions are typically 40 minutes long and tailored to your unique relationship needs as far as regularity goes.

During a coaching session, we will focus on your specific relationship goals, using creative, science-informed methods (seamlessly woven in) to enhance communication, emotional intimacy, and connection. Each session is designed to provide practical strategies and tools to help you build a stronger relationship.
