Couple therapy is a broad term for those who wish to address relationship concerns or would like assistance in navigating their relationship. Presenting topics may include breaches of trust, infidelity, (co)parenting, sex and intimacy, separation, exploration of relationship structure or general conflict and arguments. Often times, at nobody’s fault, couples may get caught in patterns of interaction that bring a lot of pain to the relationship. I will assist you in identifying these harmful interactions and work towards breaking that cycle with new ways of relating to each other. I am affirming of polyamorous and ethical non-monogamous relationships. Contact me to book a free consultation.

Communication skills are particularly useful for couples but often need to be learned and practiced. Past hurts need to be mended and cuts need to heal before trust and commitment can build a new foundation on which to move forward. Sometimes the early months of a relationship spark excitement and feelings of euphoria; however, these euphoric feelings give way to familiarity, and we start taking each other for granted. Relationship counseling promotes individual growth and awareness and works towards improved intimacy and deeper connection. Using the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) can help partners bring back the spark and give you new reasons to celebrate.

Taking time with your loved one can be a beautiful and fulfilling experience. However, it can feel challenging when you and your partner are stuck in previous patterns of behaviour, communication, and interaction. As a couple therapist, I will support you in better understanding yourself, your loved one, and your relationship to navigate challenges (e.g., communication, attachment, trust, etc.). I seek to enable you and your partner to work as a team in navigating whatever struggles come your way and developing your own unique toolkit. Speak with me today for a free consultation to begin your journey.

You are at the end of your rope. You love your partner, you don't want to end the relationship but your partner is so distant and disconnected, so you are looking for help. Perhaps you just found out the awful truth that your partner is having an affair. Maybe you have tried couple therapy before and things improved a bit then you found yourself back in the same sad stuck place. Couples often need help to find their way back to each other. Please visit my website or call me to find out how I can help you heal wounds and create the strong loving connection with your partner that you deserve.

Do you or your partner suffer from social anxiety and it's affecting your relationship? Social anxiety is a fear of negative judgment from others and it can lead to reduced levels of intimacy, suppressed emotions, feelings of isolation and loneliness and lack of communication. If one or both of you feels anxious socially, your relationship may be suffering too. Contact me for ways in which you can move past social anxiety to a fuller, intimate, richer, relaxed more authentic relationship.

At New Roots Therapy, our therapists are relationship specialists. When working with couples, we strive to balance compassion with accountability, and we work with you to develop new perspectives and understandings of yourself and your partner. By exploring what is most important to you as an individual person and as an intimate partner, we hope to help couples reconnect with their values and ultimately find greater fulfillment in their relationship. Sometimes couples come to counselling unsure of whether or not they wish to remain together. Our therapists are open to helping couples move through this decision making process, and working with you to find the best resolution possible.

In my couples counseling sessions, I use Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners deepen their emotional connection and break through communication barriers. By identifying and transforming negative patterns, I guide couples to a place of understanding, compassion, and trust. My approach creates a safe space for partners to openly express their needs and build a stronger, more resilient relationship. Working with me, you’ll benefit from compassionate support and proven techniques that foster lasting, meaningful change in your partnership.

It's common for couples to seek additional support. Couples might initiate therapy when they are in crisis mode or as a preventive means to maintain a healthy relationship. Common issues couples face include infidelity, betrayal, lack of emotional or physical connection, conflict resolution, communication issues, etc. I work with couples to rebuild/enhance intimate connections and heal past hurts.

If you are reading this page you are provably feeling that things are not going in the direction you want with your partner and you are starting to feel that your love for each other is not enough to make it work as you expected. Relationships are very complex and there are many conscious and unconscious dynamics we bring to our relationships which are very hard to objectively identify on ourselves even if you are a professional in this field. If you resonate with the situation I am describing I encourage you to contact me. I can support you on discovering how you two could be contributing to it and to gain the awareness and tools to make it better for the present situation and the future.

A satisfying relationship is one of life's greatest pleasures. The good news is we have the research available to know the predictors of relationship success and demise. Let me work with you to gain insight into the strengths in your relationship and provide you with the skills to overcome the challenges to create the relationship experience you each desire.

Relationship counselling will aim to build effective communication between you and your partner(s). Accomplishing this will begin by disclosing the issues within a safe and accepting environment. Subsequent discussions may include dissolving the relationship in a healthy way, or discovering the values, needs, and boundaries essential for you and your relationship to flourish.

Relationships can be so wonderful and so very hard sometimes. It is not so much if we fight but how we fight. It's how we work through the problems that can make a difference. There is infidelity, anger, mistrust, deep hurt, and challenging moments in a couple's lives that can bring us together or pull us further apart. Therapy helps you move through these pain points with love, understanding, and kindness and process the built-up anger and hurt. It is never too late to rekindle the love that brought you together in the first place.

Couples therapy at our clinic offers a supportive and structured space for partners to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their emotional connection. Our experienced therapists use evidence-informed approaches, such as emotionally focused therapy, the Gottman Method, to help couples navigate challenges, rebuild trust, and foster deeper understanding. Whether addressing recurring conflicts, life transitions, or intimacy concerns, we provide tools and strategies to create healthier and more fulfilling relationships.

If you are feeling disconnected, angry, hurt, and unfulfilled in your relationship I can help. I listen carefully to both partners in an unbiased manner. I can help you to reconnect through techniques that improve the content and quality of communication. I will address the needs of both partners in the relationship and help you to establish a deep intimacy. I can help you to overcome infidelity and in turn, create a brand new and ultimately fulfilling relationship.

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing.
