​You may be someone who gives a lot to others and finds it hard to say what’s true when there’s a risk of conflict or disappointment.

You care deeply about connection—and you’re tired of connection coming at the expense of yourself.
 

I offer one-on-one coaching for people who want to speak honestly, stay connected, and remain grounded in themselves—especially in moments that feel uncertain or emotionally charged.

How I work

Hi, I'm Leeza Pesenson. My work is relational, somatic, and process-oriented. We slow down and pay attention to what’s happening in real time—thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and relational patterns.
 

I hold Nonviolent Communication as a living practice rather than a set of techniques. You don’t need to “do NVC right” here. Together, we focus on staying oriented toward empathy, responsibility, and choice—even when the people in your life aren’t speaking the same language.
 

This is not about fixing you or pushing toward answers. It’s about creating enough safety and clarity for insight and change to emerge organically.
 

 

What this work can support

Clients often come to this work to:

• navigate difficult conversations with more steadiness

• understand themselves more clearly and compassionately

• stay present with uncertainty and contradiction

• share their truth without self-abandonment
   

I believe we can change. I believe we can heal. And I believe communication—when it’s embodied and relational—can profoundly shift the way we experience ourselves and our relationships.
