Where feelings meet practicality: I help couples define a partnership that works for them through coaching and offsites.

Hi, I’m Sami.

With over 10,000 hours of group facilitation and consulting experience for fortune 500 companies and nonprofits, I apply this expertise to help couples navigate change, decision-making, and aligning their lives to their values.

Coupledom Offsites

Just like companies need corporate offsites to define their path forward, so do couples. Private virtual or in-person 1.5 day workshops are a great option for couples looking to get on the same page about big upcoming decisions during times of change.

Coupledom Coaching

How can you show up as your full self with your partner? Intimacy can trigger deep fears of rejection, causing one or both partners to hide a part of themselves. Work with Sami to explore both the emotional and practical approaches of being the fullest expression of yourselves alongside one another.
