Helping You Create the Relationship you want.

Sara Bunce, MA is a 20 yr experienced CA LMFT turned Relationship & Individual Coach.

I work with couples and individuals

Looking for a safe place to regain your footing and let go of old patterns that hold you back? After working for 20 years as a LMFT in CA, I have seen couples repair affairs, regain intimacy, learn to care for each other, and earn secure functioning within their relationship. I draw from the attachment model and Dr Stan Tatkin’s, PACT model. Individuals learn how to experience themselves differently and identify ineffective behaviors, as they take responsibility for their choices, while understanding what they want vs what they should want and do. In my early days as a therapist I worked for four years in Drug and Alcohol Rehab witnessing the resilience and courage that humans demonstrate to become who they are vs letting their emotions/fears run them. In my personal life, my son passed five years ago which opened me up to understand the depths of grief and how to move through this difficult loss. Subsequently, I volunteered as a grief counselor for a year in CA. In my earlier life, I was an Oncology Nurse offering me a glimpse into the vulnerability and intimacy of sitting with patients and family as their loved one was receiving treatment or, passing.

As I started a family, I became a part-time Landscape Designer which taught me how to be curious about what the homeowner wants and help couples come together on their vision. I loved the creative process of painting a yard.

Present day, I take all my skills and Coach couples and individuals. I moved to the East Coast from CA, went back and got certified as a Relationship Coach, so no longer work as a CA LMFT. I can see clients anywhere through zoom.

The difference between therapy and coaching:

Therapy deals with trauma along with any mental health struggles that are present.

Coaching deals with the present utilizing historical information. I consult with client’s mental health professionals with HIPPA compliant consent.
