Relationship Coaching in Farmington, CT: A More Personal Alternative to Weekly Therapy

After 25 years as a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I’ve witnessed firsthand how traditional couples therapy with its weekly appointments can often feel slow, impersonal, or even too clinical for some. That’s why I founded Lighter Love… to offer a more personal, intentional, and joy-filled path toward deeper connection, grounded in my clinical experience, faith, and a healthy dose of humor.

Why Relationship Coaching Might Be Better for You

  • Faster, More Flexible Support
    Unlike traditional therapy, coaching at Lighter Love includes ongoing email and non-urgent texting support so you’re not waiting a whole week to share a breakthrough or get gentle guidance.

  • Highly Personalized
    Whether you’re preparing for marriage, rebuilding after infidelity, or reigniting connection, coaching plans are tailored to your couple’s needs such as the Relationship Reboot, Intimacy & Connection, Pre-Marital Counseling, or Affair Recovery packages.

  • Interactive Tools & Resources
    Along with sessions, you receive targeted worksheets, couple exercises, assignments, and recommended readings, all designed to deepen your bond and keep the learning momentum going between sessions.

  • Intentional Communication & Conflict Reframed
    One of the core principles of Lighter Love is “loving lighter”…moving from reactive conflict to "peacefully engaging in conflict," where couples learn to listen deeply and argue constructively.

What You’ll Experience

  • Quick Progress: You might kick off with a 75-minute Initial Assessment, then jump into weekly 60-minute coaching sessions with emergency access via email/text in between lighterlove.com.

  • Engaging, Actionable Work: Every couple receives custom exercises and tools—not just talk—so you can practice connection in real life

  • Sustained Momentum: A follow-up session caps each package, with a personalized strategy for keeping closeness alive long-term
