Gabriella Karp

Hi, my name is Gabriella.

Up into my mid 20s, I struggled a lot in asking for what I wanted from people. I was afraid of finding out that my needs weren’t valid and I didn’t want to deal with that reality. So I often felt resentful towards the people close to me, thinking, “Why can’t you just know what I need and do it!”

This caused me so much suffering in a 3 year relationship. All the time I made assumptions that we had aligned expectations, even though most of the time I never shared these expectations. Eventually I grew tired of assuming and decided that the best way to remedy this was to take accountability for my own communication and learn to be more direct with my needs and wants. This was the beginning of my journey in relational self-development. I read several books, listened to podcasts, and eventually found The Relationship School as a strong resource for learning and growth. Throughout these years I’ve developed skills in communication, conflict resolution, building trust, setting boundaries, emotional awareness and regulation, and taking accountability for what I have control over (myself). The sense of empowerment I’ve felt throughout this process energized and inspired me to make a living out of supporting others in their own relational growth journeys.

If you’re ready to feel more empowered and fulfilled in your relationships, I’m ready to work with you as your Relationship Coach!
