Safe & Sound Protocol

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.

Learn about the Science of SSP

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.

On average most people have 8-10 sessions. Of course, I have many clients who still see more for on-going support.

Included in my work is the exclusive Wise Adult Toolbox of skills. You’ll get downloadable and printable guides to my most important skills.

Relational Life Therapy is designed to help individuals and couples create meaningful change as efficiently and effectively as possible.

This work is active, practical, and focused on helping you build healthier relational patterns — not staying stuck in endless cycles of insight without movement.

Whether you are working on romantic relationships, family dynamics, boundaries, self-worth, communication, nervous system regulation, or the patterns that keep showing up in your life, the goal is real, lasting change.

Recommended Starting Sessions

For individuals and couples beginning this work, I generally recommend starting with:

1 Hour & 40 Minute Sessions — $300

These extended sessions allow enough space to:

• fully understand the patterns keeping you stuck,

• slow down reactive or overwhelmed nervous system responses,

• practice new relational tools in real time,

• and begin gaining traction more quickly.

Many clients find this format especially helpful in the beginning because it allows us to move beyond surface-level conversations and into deeper, more meaningful work without feeling rushed.

Maintenance & Ongoing Support

As progress builds and healthier patterns become more established, many clients transition into:

50 Minute Sessions — $150

These sessions are often used for:

• continued growth and support,

• relationship challenges,

• accountability,

• nervous system regulation,

• navigating stress or transitions,

• strengthening boundaries,

• or maintaining the progress already created.

Sessions are typically scheduled weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your goals and needs.

Clients add a Credit Card to their account and are billed at the end of each session.

Relational Life Therapy Is Structured & Goal-Oriented

RLT generally moves through three phases:

1. Awareness & Stabilization

2. Practicing New Relational Skills

3. Integration & Lasting Change

While every client and relationship is unique, many people begin experiencing meaningful shifts within the first several sessions.

The average client moves through these phases in approximately 8–10 sessions.

Intensives Available

For individuals or couples wanting deeper, accelerated work, I also offer private virtual intensives.

Intensives provide focused, immersive support and are ideal for clients who:

• feel stuck in repetitive patterns,

• want faster momentum,

• are navigating a major transition or rupture,

• or prefer concentrated work over weekly sessions.

Virtual intensives are available worldwide via Zoom.

All clients receive access to:

The Wise Adult Toolbox

A private library of tools, guides, and relationship resources created exclusively for my clients.

• and relational skill-building practices.

Relational Life Therapy (RLT)—is not like traditional talk therapy. Couples counseling 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.
