About Paiton:

Hi, I’m Paiton, a certified relationship coach helping individuals build relationships that actually feel good to be in.

I believe most relationship struggles aren’t about a lack of love. They’re about patterns: the ways we learned to communicate, protect ourselves, and connect long before we met our partners. My work is helping you see those patterns clearly, then giving you practical tools to change them, with support that continues between sessions, not just during them.

My practice is open and affirming by design. I welcome clients of every orientation, identity, and relationship structure. I’ve completed AASECT’s training in Affirming Asexuality, with ongoing training in sexual communication, working with polyamorous clients, BDSM-informed coaching, and supporting autistic clients. Whoever you are and however you love, you won’t need to explain or justify here.

Coaching, not therapy. I’m a relationship consultant, not a licensed therapist. Coaching is forward-focused: building skills, changing patterns, and reaching goals. If our work surfaces something that needs clinical care, I’ll say so honestly and help you find the right professional.

When I’m not working with clients, my partner of six years and I are usually planning our next trip. The past two years have taken us to South Korea, three islands of Bali, and Mexico, with Thailand, Vietnam, and Australia on the horizon. Home base includes two cats who supervise all of it.
