Would you like tips on how to communicate with your partner? How about learning how to argue fairly and come to a compromise or solution? Would you like help in restoring the gratitude you once had for your relationship and loved one? My therapeutic technique(s) using both talk therapy and active therapeutic strategies I.e. worksheets, couples homework assignments, etc can help you acknowledge areas in your relationship you would like to improve and provide practical strategies toward accomplishing both your individual and partnership goals.

Relationship’s dynamics can be challenging to navigate even during the best of times, and couple therapy can help partners find new ways to relate, connect, and communicate with each other. Asking for what you want and need in a relationship can be scary, so therapy should be a safe space where you and your partner feel comfortable exploring your needs and expectations together. I work collaboratively with clients to identify and explore patterns of interaction that they want to strengthen or change in their relationships, as well as holding space for vulnerability and connection. Book a free consultation to learn more about my approach and explore if we are a good fit.

I offer couples therapy using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a highly effective approach designed to help partners strengthen their emotional bond and improve communication.

Over the course of your relationship, you are going to face its ups and downs.

Couples can often become fixated on repairing their partners’ behavior and waiting for the other to change before feeling content in the relationship. However, in my work with couples, I have found it fruitful to explore how each person in the relationship is contributing to a dynamic that they would like to change. I also believe that therapy should be a space where each person can express their views and feel validated and accepted by their partner(s). Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

In couples counselling, I emphasize the unique dynamics and challenges that arise within romantic partnerships, whether married or not. My approach is centered on facilitating open dialogue, deepening understanding, and fostering mutual respect and empathy between partners. By focusing on the specific dynamics of the couple's relationship, rather than broader family dynamics or legal aspects of marriage, clients can benefit from gaining insight into their individual needs, communication patterns, and relational strengths. Through collaborative exploration and targeted interventions, couples can work towards enhancing intimacy, resolving conflicts, and building a stronger foundation for their relationship, regardless of their marital status.
