I’m Francesca

I’m a master’s-level clinician and a relationship coach, which means I work with both ends of this at once: the depth underneath a relationship, and the practical question of what you do on Monday morning. In my clinical work with women I run groups on parenting and healthy relationships, I’m trained in Generative Coaching, and I work in English, Italian and Spanish.

The woman I help best is tired of the same conversation she has with herself — in the car in the driveway, in the bathroom with the fan on, at 11pm. She’s been in her relationship a long time, she fights in a pattern she could almost predict, and she’s thought about leaving more times than she’s told anyone. She doesn’t want someone to hand her an answer. She wants someone who won’t flinch.

So we slow it down. We look at the actual cycle the two of you run — not conflict in general — and at what you’ve been abandoning in order to keep the peace. I am completely neutral about your decision, and not neutral at all about your wellbeing. My job is to help you hear your own answer more clearly, and then to help you live in a way that matches it.
