You built a company together. Now you need to protect the relationship that built it.
Starting a business with your partner can be one of the most exciting things you'll ever do. It can also put a strain on your relationship that few other couples understand. Board meetings bleed into dinner. Disagreements about strategy turn into fights about respect. You haven't had a conversation that wasn't about the business in weeks.
I founded and licensed a company in my twenties, so I know firsthand what it takes to build something from nothing. I work with couples who run companies together and want to keep both the business and the relationship healthy.
Does this sound familiar?
- Work conflict follows you home, and home conflict follows you to work
- You're not sure where your role as co-founder ends and your role as partner begins
- One of you carries more of the load, and resentment is building
- You've stopped having fun together outside the business
- You're facing a big decision (fundraising, an exit, a pivot, or one of you stepping back) and can't agree on it
How we'll work together
We'll help you separate the business from the relationship so you can show up well for both. Using Gottman-informed couples work, you'll learn to manage conflict without damaging trust, communicate clearly under pressure, and set boundaries around work time and couple time. We'll also make room for the bigger questions: what you each want from the company, from each other, and from the life you're building.
Frequently asked questions
Do we both need to live in the same state?
Both partners need to be located in Connecticut, Florida, Illinois, New York, or Virginia during sessions.
Is this business coaching?
No. This is couples therapy. We'll focus on your relationship, how you communicate, and how you handle stress and conflict. Business decisions will come up, but the goal is a stronger partnership.
How much does therapy cost?
$300 for a 53-minute couples session. You have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of your expected costs.
Do you take insurance?
I'm an out-of-network provider. I can give you a monthly superbill to submit for possible reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits.
