Relationships are hard.

Reclaim the joy in yours.

Practical, results-driven relationship coaching grounded in nervous system science.

You’re in the right place.

I’m Kendall Carriere—a Relational Life Therapy Practitioner and Safe and Sound Protocol provider. I work with individuals and couples around the world who are ready to break free from stuck patterns and build the kind of connection they’ve been longing for.

If you’ve ever found yourself:
- Stuck in the same fight that never seems to end
- Pulled into reactivity or shutdown before you can stop it
- Struggling to rebuild closeness after trust has been broken
- Wanting more intimacy but not knowing how to spark it
- Wishing your partner could truly see, hear, and understand you
- Unsure how to repair after a painful rupture
…you’re not alone. These patterns are often rooted in both relational habits and nervous system responses that can be shifted with the proper support.

Change begins the moment you start.

Safe and Sound Protocol

A polyvagal-based listening intervention that supports emotional regulation, reduces nervous system reactivity, and deepens your capacity for connection. The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) pairs beautifully with the relational and parts-based work we do together.

Why my approach is different?

Direct Conversations
I don’t tiptoe around issues or let you spin in circles. We go straight to the heart of the matter with honesty, clarity, and compassion. This saves time and gives you the relief of finally naming what’s really going on.
Practical Skills Every Session
Insight without action won’t change your relationship. That’s why every session ends with tools and strategies you can put into practice right away. You’ll walk out knowing exactly what to do differently at home, and you’ll get a session recap after each session to remind you. Plus, an exclusive digital toolbox of skills you can tap into between sessions and beyond just for clients.
Nervous System Support (Including the Safe and Sound Protocol)
Lasting change doesn’t just happen in your mind — it happens in your nervous system. When your body is stuck in patterns of reactivity or shutdown, even the best relationship skills can’t take root. As a Safe and Sound Protocol provider, I help retrain your nervous system toward safety and connection so you can stay grounded, open, and responsive in the moments that matter most.
Quick, Lasting Results
My clients often feel a shift after just one session. With steady commitment, those small changes build into lasting transformation. This isn’t therapy designed to drag on for years — it’s focused, results-driven work that creates real change you can sustain.

I came to you thinking I needed tools to soothe my anxiety, but I actually needed to learn how to set limits and boundaries, so I didn't have anxiety to begin with. I'm amazed with where I am in just four sessions. “

Getting Started & Session Rates

What to Expect
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a fast, practical approach that gets to the root of relationship patterns without dragging the process out. Together, we move quickly, honestly, and compassionately toward the real shifts you’re wanting.
Here’s what working with me looks like:
1. We get clear on what’s actually happening.
You’ll gain insight into the patterns driving disconnection, reactivity, or distance — without blame or shame.
2. We address the stuck places directly.
Instead of circling the issues, we name them with clarity and compassion so we can begin repairing what’s been hurting.
3. You learn skills you can use immediately.
Every session comes with tools you can put into practice right away to strengthen communication, connection, and repair.
4. We work with your nervous system too.
Lasting change requires more than insight. You’ll learn how your body’s responses shape your reactions — and, if appropriate, we can integrate the Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) to help you stay grounded, open, and connected. Note: SSP is optional but recommended.
5. You’ll see results faster than traditional therapy.
Most clients feel a shift within the first session or two. With commitment, these changes compound into meaningful, lasting transformation.
If you’re ready for change that’s honest, effective, and grounded in real connection, this is the place to start.
Virtual sessions available worldwide

Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
A premium, neuroscience-based nervous system intervention
The Safe and Sound Protocol is a polyvagal-based listening intervention designed to calm the nervous system, reduce reactivity, and deepen your capacity for connection. SSP works beautifully alongside Relational Life Therapy to help you stay grounded, open, and engaged during the moments that matter most.
How SSP Works With Me
SSP is delivered over a series of guided sessions combined with personalized monitoring and pacing. It includes:
- A one-time SSP Access + Monitoring Fee: $500
  This covers 4 months of the SSP App access, personalized setup, customized pacing, and all support and tracking between sessions done by Kendall outside of sessions.
- Five Guided SSP Sessions at $150 each
  Each 50-minute session includes listening time, somatic tracking, grounding tools, and integration support to help the shifts take root.
Total SSP Investment: $1,250
($500 access fee + 5 guided sessions)
Who SSP Is For
SSP is ideal if you struggle with:
- emotional reactivity or shutting down
- staying grounded during conflict
- chronic stress or anxious attachment
- repeating patterns even when you “know better”
- difficulty accessing your Wise Adult in charged moments
Why SSP Matters
Lasting relational change requires more than insight — it requires a regulated nervous system. SSP helps retrain your brain and body toward safety and connection, making it easier to use the skills we build together.
Note: For ease of investment, the SSP Access Fee is paid upfront, and session rates are paid as the sessions are held.
