Relationships Are Teachers

We believe intimate relationships are one of our greatest teachers in life. We've certainly learned some beautiful and hard lessons in our 17 years navigating the complexities of our relationship.

We combine our decades of practice in deep listening, parts work, nature connection, transformative learning, facilitation, and medicine work to help you navigate the lessons your relationship is here to teach you.

If you're longing to find growth, intimacy, and beauty in your relationship, you're in the right place.

We can help you:

  • Deepen intimacy

  • Navigate conflict

  • Communicate clearly & lovingly

  • Envision an inspiring future together

Relationship Mentors | Conflict Navigators | Sacred Medicine Guides

We began our relationship in 2007. At the time of our nuptials, we were pretty sure we had this whole relationship thing figured out. We met in the personal development space and had a shared worldview. We had care and respect for each other and both valued communication. But ultimately we had no idea what was in store for us!

Two decades later, it is humbling and inspiring for us to reflect on where we’ve come from, and where we’re going. We’ve deepened our connection and intimacy through the many different rapids we’ve had to navigate in our relationship, some of which includes; shifting careers, financial stress, honoring Queerness in a hetero partnership, Ethical Non-Monogamy, familial conflict, and honoring our soul’s path and unfolding.

Confluence Mentoring emerged from our shared vision of contribution and the belief that our intimate relationships are our greatest teachers.

Most of our free time is spent exploring the rivers of the Pacific Northwest, listening to music, hanging with friends, or snuggling our Staffordshire Terrier, Dax.

What clients are saying...

  • Working with Jared and Laurie gave my relationship a safe container to express and be witnessed in a compassionate and understanding way. It was a healing experience to be witnessed, and feel supported. I loved the tools we were given to navigate the nuances of what our relationship needed. Jared and Laurie grounded each session with tuning into ourselves and allowing ourselves to express and listen from the heart space.

  • I highly recommend these two. Before working with Jared and Laurie couples counseling WITH a couple was a completely new idea to me, but it made total sense upon experiencing it. It felt energizing to have them find and navigate the nuance of different situations without my partner or I needing to re-explain or self-advocate more than was necessary. We continually left feeling more empathy for one another, and more engaged in the process of our relationship.
