Module 1: Address What’s Bothering You (Without Shutting Down Yourself or Your Partner)
I begin by teaching The Gentle Start-Up, a Gottman Institute technique rooted in research to help you bring up issues without causing a fight. You’ll learn how to identify the right time and place and explore when to communicate verbally or in writing. With practical skills in assertive communication, you’ll be able to express yourself clearly and confidently, without shutting down or escalating conflict.
Module 2: Respond Without Defensiveness (Even When You Disagree)
In this module, you’ll discover mindful communication techniques to help you pause, breathe, and respond calmly rather than react. You’ll also learn the powerful skill of finding one thing you can agree with in your partner’s perspective. By mastering the art of validation without agreeing, you’ll be able to acknowledge your partner’s emotions without feeling like you’re compromising your own beliefs, setting a foundation for trust and empathy.Â
Module 3:Â Be Accountable and AssertiveÂ
In this module, you’ll learn how to balance taking responsibility for your actions while standing firm in expressing your needs. By practicing accountability, you’ll show your partner that you value their perspective and are willing to own your part in the relationship dynamic. Simultaneously, you’ll develop assertiveness techniques to express your feelings and boundaries clearly and respectfully, fostering open dialogue without defensiveness.            Â
Module 4: Find Common Ground (On the Issues That Keep Coming Up)
This module is about bridging gaps and creating shared understanding. You’ll learn how to unpack the story behind your partner’s position, using curiosity to gain empathy. You’ll explore your core values and use a concentric circles exercise to identify non-negotiables and areas of flexibility. With these tools, you’ll be able to compromise in ways that feel authentic, bringing you closer together on issues that once divided you.  -----------------------------------------------Â
Module 5: Repair After a Fight (Even When You’ve Gone Too Far)
In this final module, you’ll gain the skills to mend emotional wounds and repair trust. Starting with a reflective journaling practice, you’ll learn how to process your own feelings before re-engaging. You’ll master techniques for co-regulation and learn the value of seeking first to understand before jumping to solutions. By the end of this module, you’ll have tools to help you and your partner come back together even after the toughest arguments.     Â

Discover How to Build the Confidence to Communicate Openly and Effectively
After failed attempts, it's daunting to muster the courage to be vulnerable or bring up issues in your relationship. When unresolved issues pile up, honest conversations feel intimidating and both partners end up feeling misunderstood and defensive.
This often leads us to avoid addressing what’s really bothering us, thinking it’ll just create more tension. Or we might worry our partner won’t truly understand where we’re coming from.
Throughout the course, you'll watch in real-time as I guide couples through their negative communication patterns and help them move past the blocks that make open communication difficult. Â
