Text reading '1:1 Coaching' with a black background.

For individuals and relationships who can feel the gap between where they are and where they want to be, and are done waiting for it to close itself.

You keep making the same promise - to yourself, or to each other: this time will be different. And you mean it every time. But no matter how much insight you have and despite your best efforts, you find you've done the thing again. Sometimes you even watch yourself do it in real time, thinking here we fucking go again.

You don't need to try harder. You need a different approach entirely. Not the "right" way. Your way. And when you find it, and trust it, you can start creating true depth and reciprocity in your relationships.

Meryl ensures you feel seen, heard, believed, understood. She’s nurturing, calm, and incredibly caring. I believe everyone could benefit from having Meryl in their lives.

Something's been out of reach for a while. You might not even know what it is, but you feel the itch.

You've been performing the right version of yourself for so long that you secretly fear letting the mask slip. And also secretly wonder what it would feel like to fling it off altogether.

You're ready to be actually known. Not managed or fixed. Known. And accepted and celebrated for exactly who the fuck that person is. Imagine that.

This is for you if…

“I learned to appreciate and trust the intuition of my body, especially in times when I otherwise tend to overthink. After working with her, I feel so much closer to myself, more capable to handle life’s challenges and stressors, and more attuned to its joys.

— Taylor

 “Working with Meryl changed my life in so many wonderful and incredible ways. She helped me find my voice in my relationships and identify and share my deepest sexual desires with them, as well as new people in my life.”

— Holly N

“The ways Meryl taught me to be more present in my body, to be aware of my intuition, to harness my erotic energy... all of these things have played BIG roles in learning to engage in sexual spaces with my husband.”

— CB

What changes?

Nobody comes in asking for contentment. But that's usually what arrives.

It’s something quieter, more settled. Things that used to stick - the offhand comment, the moment of rejection, the old shame story - start to slide off instead.

You trust yourself. You start to think the best of yourself instead of the worst. And that frees something up: space to explore, to play, to try new things, to follow your heart's desire even when that's as simple as finding some AC on a hot day.

Pleasure starts to feel less like something you have to earn and more like something that was always yours. You notice what you actually want. Whether it's the flavor of seltzer that delights you or the conversation you've been having in your head for three years that you finally say out loud.

Little things. Then bigger things. Then anything.

What I offer is actual relating. I'm in the room with you, not holding you at a clinical distance. I'll tell you when something you said moved me. I'll share of myself when it serves you. You're not going to be studied or analyzed or fixed. You're going to be met.

The difference is between a therapist living in your memory and a person living in your memory.

That matters more than it sounds.

What makes this different from therapy?

You may still have some questions

  • 75-minute sessions over video, or in-person for locals.

    $350 per session with no commitment. $250 per session with a four-month commitment to weekly or bi-weekly sessions.

    The commitment option exists because consistency is what actually moves things. Seeing someone once a month or every few weeks is like going on a date every month or two - you're not creating space for anything meaningful to happen. Especially early on.

    We start with a free 30-minute call. You tell me what's going on. We get a feel for whether we actually want to do this together - because the fit matters, and I'm not the right person for everyone. If I don't think I can genuinely help you, I'll tell you that too.

  • No. I'm a coach, not a clinician - I don't diagnose or treat mental health conditions. What I do is relational, somatic, and deeply personal. It works well alongside therapy or on its own. If you need clinical support, I'll tell you honestly and we'll figure out what makes sense.

  • The free call is just 30 minutes of someone hearing the whole thing without it meaning anything is wrong with you. Who isn’t judging you or categorizing you. Who has probably had to figure out how to do the very same thing you’re struggling with. Someone who knows what to do.

    You'll leave feeling seen. And you'll leave knowing something can be done. Also probably with a book or podcast or IG account recommendation - some small next step you can take whether or not it’s with me.
