hi, I’m gillian!

I’m a certified Integrated Attachment Theory ™ Coach and am trained in Relational Life Therapy for couples and individuals. I am passionate about helping individuals and couples improve their relationships. Whether you are wanting a better relationship with yourself, or want to have a better relationship with your spouse or partner, I love helping people get to a place where their relationships are thriving!

I know having the relationship of your dreams is possible, because I have achieved this in my own life using the exact same tools, methods and techniques I teach my clients to use. My goal is to make YOU the master and expert of yourself and your romantic relationship so that you can experience all the benefits of a secure functioning relationship like increased intimacy and connection, a sense of emotional safety, decreased conflict, increased peace and harmony, effective communication and a deep love and trust for your partner.

Not only am I passionate about helping others become their best selves, I am also deeply committed to my own personal growth and continued education as a coach. It is very important to me to serve my clients in the most effective way possible, and to that end I am always doing more certifications and educational courses in my field. As a coaching professional, I believe I am never done learning or growing!

When I am not coaching, and the weather is good, you will find me in nature, where I love to go bird watching and take photographs of birds. In the winter, I am often at my bench making jewelry. Expressing myself creatively comes out naturally in all areas of my life as well as in my coaching!

Life is a journey of creation and I am looking forward to being part of yours!


MY APPROACH

I am compassionate, empathic and client-centered, focusing on your goals for your relationship using Integrated Attachment Theory™, Relational Life Therapy and Nervous System regulation tools to help you achieve successful and long lasting results. I would describe my style as direct and honest and I create a safe place for you to be yourself and share vulnerably in our sessions. I provide psychoeducation where it is needed and emotional support in helping you make the changes you need. Sometimes my job will be to challenge you but always in the most encouraging way!

I love clients who are committed to the process of change, just as I am committed to the quality of the work I provide. I have found that the greater the commitment to growth, the greater your results will be!

I value honesty and transparency in all my coach/client relationships, as this helps me to know how to help you better so you can get where you want to be!
