Building Stronger Relationships for a Better World
Meet Carolyn Sharp
Real Tools. Real Growth. Real Love.
Led with Wisdom, Experience, and an Edgy Sense of Humor.​
Is your relationship stuck in neutral while the rest of your life races ahead? You’re in the right place.
​
You’ve built the career. You’ve built the life. But somewhere along the way, the relationship that once lit you up started running on autopilot. The romance, the laughter, the spark — it’s faded under the weight of success, stress, and the everyday grind. Now, you’re ready to change that. You know you’ve achieved excellence everywhere else — and it’s time your relationship rose to the same level.
​
I’m Carolyn Sharp — a nationally recognized relationship expert, New York Times speaker, Psychology Today contributor, and the author of Fire It Up: Four Secrets to Reigniting Intimacy and Joy in Your Relationship. With 30 years of clinical and coaching experience, I specialize in helping successful, driven couples bring their love back to life — and make it stronger than ever.
​
I also work with leaders and organizations to help high-performing teams build the same foundations that make relationships thrive: trust, emotional intelligence, and true collaboration. Whether at home or in business, strong, resilient connections are the heart of real success — and I teach you how to build them.
​
If you’re ready to ditch the domestic dullness and reignite real passion, connection, and joy, you’re in the right hands. I’ve helped thousands of couples, individuals, and companies across the U.S. and internationally through private coaching, retreats, corporate workshops, and keynote talks — and I’d be honored to help you, too.
​
In the Fire It Up Marriage Accelerator — and in my work with leaders and teams — I’ll show you how to:
-
Rebuild chemistry and trust
-
Turn tension into teamwork
-
Create partnerships fueled by joy, resilience, and collaboration
-
Bring the best of who you are — not just to your career, but to your closest relationships
​
This isn’t therapy that drags on for years. This is dynamic, high-impact coaching designed to create visible change fast — using cutting-edge relationship science and real-world strategies that actually work.
​
If you’re still reading this, I know you’re ready to make your relationships — at home and at work — the centerpiece of a life you’re proud of.
​
Let’s light it up. Apply now to join the Fire It Up Marriage Accelerator or explore coaching to strengthen your most important partnerships — and start your next chapter stronger, closer, and more alive than ever.
"I marvel at the ways our brains wire together to create this incredible dance between our nervous systems. Watching people learn to do so positively and watching this transform their lives and relationships is one of the most satisfying experiences of my professional life.”

Professional Work
​
Carolyn Sharp, LICSW, is a nationally recognized relationship expert, coach, and therapist with over 30 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and teams build healthier, more resilient connections.
​
Carolyn’s career began in the trenches—working with severely emotionally impacted children in treatment foster care, later leading mental health programs as Clinical Director at the YMCA. She also served as a faculty member at the Washington School for Professional Psychology, training the next generation of therapists.
​
In 2005, Carolyn launched her private practice, quickly gaining a reputation for her powerful work with high-conflict families and complex relationship dynamics. She soon specialized in couples therapy, training extensively with Dr. Stan Tatkin, the founder of the Psychobiological Approach to Couple Therapy (PACT). She has contributed to the PACT Institute newsletter and served for two years as an ambassador to the organization.
​
Carolyn expanded her offerings to include coaching, retreats, and corporate consulting, blending the best of therapy and coaching to create transformational experiences for couples, individuals, and leadership teams worldwide. Her work is grounded in real-time, science-based interventions that prioritize attachment, fairness, collaboration, and mutual growth.
​
She is the author of Fire It Up: Four Secrets to Reigniting Intimacy and Joy in Your Relationship, a highly praised guide for couples looking to reconnect and build stronger, healthier relationships. Carolyn has spoken internationally, delivered a talk for The New York Times Company, is a columnist for Psychology Today and YourTango, and leads sold-out retreats across the U.S. and Italy.
​
Known for her direct, insightful, and humor-infused style, Carolyn brings deep compassion—and a no-nonsense drive for real change—to every client she serves.
​
Personally, Carolyn knows the real challenges of building lasting love: after navigating divorce and blending a family of four teenagers, she understands firsthand the work it takes to create a thriving partnership. Today, she lives in Massachusetts with her husband, a blended household full of life, and a passion for helping others build relationships that are joyful, resilient, and fully alive.
