Life Expands. Careers Grow. Families Form.
You Don’t Want to Lose Your Partner - or Yourself - Along the Way.
You want an intimate relationship that lasts — and grows stronger through every season of your life.
Who this is for…
You’ve built something meaningful.
A career.
A business.
A family.
A future.
And yet, somewhere in the expansion, your relationship feels strained.
It might already feel broken.
Or it might just no longer feel effortless.
Conversations stall.
Resentment accumulates in small moments.
One of you carries more.
The other withdraws.
You can feel the trajectory — and you refuse to ignore it.
You don’t want to become a statistic.
You don’t want to become another couple who “just grew apart.”
You don’t want to wake up ten years from now as roommates.
You don’t want your children absorbing patterns you meant to break.
You want a relationship that endures — and stays deeply connected.
Reality Check
Professional excellence does not automatically create relational maturity.
Ambitious couples often:
• Over-function instead of collaborate
• Avoid the ten-minute ‘sweaty conversation’
• Focus on being right instead of being connected
• Hold silent expectations
• Slip into control or withdrawal
• Repeat inherited dynamics without realizing it
The drift is rarely explosive.
It’s subtle and cumulative.
And left unaddressed, it calcifies.
Strong, resilient relationships do not survive on good intentions alone.
They require leadership.
The Work
This is structured, accountable couples coaching grounded in relational leadership.
Not endless processing. Not partner-blaming. Not surface-level communication hacks.
We work at the level of:
• Unconscious patterns
• Power and responsibility
• Emotional regulation
• Structured communication
• Repair after rupture
• Proactive architecture before marriage or parenthood
I do my best to create the conditions for the impossible conversations to unfold. I point out blind spots with love. I ask questions that have been living under the surface. I hold the space for you to uncover and heal parts of you which may have previously been deemed ‘broken’.
Why do I work in this way? Because growth-oriented individuals and couples don’t need more information.
They need intervention, accountability, and a safe and direct container.
Let’s Meet
My office is in Ericeira, Portugal, a beautiful surf village located about 40 minutes Northwest of Lisbon. I also meet clients around the world through Zoom.
About
I’ve spent over 13 years coaching individuals and couples across the U.S., Europe, and Asia.
My training integrates:
• Encounter-Centered Couples Transformational Therapy
• Relational Life Therapy
• Aletheia Coaching
• Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction
• Internal Family Systems ‘Parts’-informed work
• Structured communication frameworks
Prior to full-time coaching, I built and scaled multiple international wellness ventures including a chain of plant-based cafes in Shanghai and a yoga studio. I understand ambition, expansion, and complexity. Along the way, I've co-created the relationship of my dreams with my husband, Warren and a beautiful life with our two kids.
Through our years of partnership, I’ve come to believe that relationships are living laboratories — the most powerful arena for growth, responsibility, and conscious love.

“I came to Lizzy after a massive betrayal with my wife, where we questioned staying together. Lizzy didn’t dramatize and she didn’t minimize it either. She helped us slow everything down and actually understand what had been building underneath for years. It was hard but we felt safe in the container. We’re still doing the work, but we’re not walking on eggshells anymore. I feel steadier and more confident in ‘us’.”
