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. -

Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP)
A premium, neuroscience-based nervous system interventionThe 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
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.
What’s Relational Life Therapy?
“Family dysfunction rolls down from generation to generation, like a fire in the woods, taking down everything in its path until one generation has the courage to turn and face the flames. That person brings peace to their ancestors and spares the children that follow.” Terry Real.
People always say, ‘Relationships are hard work,’ but nobody tells you what that work is. I do.
Does your relationship feel stuck in a rut, disconnected, or even on the verge of breaking down? Do you long for a deeper, more meaningful connection with yourself and your partner but unsure how to bridge the gap? Perhaps you’ve tried therapy before, only to find that the patterns persist.
With Relational Life Therapy (RLT), you can break free from the old patterns that keep you stuck and start building the relationship you truly desire. Together, we’ll help you:
Rebuild trust and create open, honest communication that brings you closer than ever.
Deepen intimacy and reignite the connection you’ve been craving.
Establish healthy boundaries that foster mutual respect and clarity.
Rediscover joy and playfulness, transforming your relationship into a source of energy and fulfillment.
RLT isn’t about settling for “good enough”—it’s about learning skills to create a partnership that feels extraordinary. Are you ready to make it happen?

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is a direct, results-driven approach to improving relationships. Instead of circling the same issues, we go straight to the heart of the problem, uncover unhelpful patterns, and equip you with tools you can use right away.
-
SSP helps people in relationships because it supports the part of the nervous system responsible for feeling safe, calm, and connected. When your body is less reactive or overwhelmed, it becomes much easier to communicate clearly, listen without defensiveness, repair after conflict, and stay emotionally present with the people you love. SSP creates the physiological foundation that allows relationship skills to actually work.
-
Many therapy models involve years of slow talk and vague insights. My work is active, structured, and focused on fast results. You’ll leave every session with clarity, practical skills, and a plan to apply between sessions — so growth continues outside our time together.
Additionally, I will teach you practical skills. Tools you can use in the moment when you need them the most. Private clients gain access to my skills toolbox, allowing them to practice between sessions.
-
Both. I work with couples who want to improve their connection and with individuals who want to heal patterns, strengthen self-awareness, or prepare themselves for healthier relationships.
-
Every couple and individual is different, but most of my clients start to feel a shift after the very first session. Many continue weekly or bi-weekly until the changes feel lasting and natural. My goal is never to keep you in therapy forever, but to help you reach “graduation day” as efficiently as possible.
Included in my work is the exclusive Wise Adult Toolbox of skills. You’ll get downloadable and printable guides to my most important skills.
You’ll also get direct access to me between sessions via WhatsApp.

Sessions are 50 minutes, and my rate is $125. You will receive a link to upload your credit card information to be charged the day of your session.

While my fee is $125 per session, the approach I use—Relational Life Therapy (RLT)—is not like traditional talk therapy. Marriage counseling in Louisiana doesn’t have to take years to be effective. Relational Life Therapy (RLT) is designed to strike a balance between speed and depth. It’s directive, highly practical, and often leads to meaningful progress quickly — sometimes even after the very first session, especially when both partners are open and ready to do the work.Because of this unique structure, RLT doesn’t fit into the medical model required by insurance companies. It’s not diagnosis-based or meant to stretch on for years. Instead, it’s targeted, results-driven relationship coaching built to create real shifts, not just insights.
