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.

Couples therapy and counselling aim to create a compassionate and dedicated space where partners can explore negative dynamics that are hindering their relationship. From a humanistic perspective, the goal is to focus on understanding each partner’s unique experiences and feelings and how these show up in our relationships with others. When we acknowledge and begin to address key issues in the relationship, such as conflict, loss of intimacy or a diminished connection the goal is to help guide couples through a rediscovery of each other, one that works to foster empathy, encourage open dialogue, and create moments of reconnection and reconciliation. I use a mix of the Gottman Method and EFT

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.

I’ve been helping people lead more intentional lives for over 20 years. Couples therapy supports you in reaching a fresh connection with your partner.

I’m trained in cognitive behavioral therapy, developmental models,and anxiety and depression management. I will support you in creating a set of tools to help you discover your objective. Most importantly, you're a distinctive couple, with distinctive needs. My goal is to work with you as a unique couple, and focus on YOUR goals.

Family Systems theory is primarily focused on three areas. These are individuals, couples, and families (including children). Couples therapy focuses exclusively on the couple's dyad. This connection is affected by many factors: Past childhood experiences of family life, current parenting and grandparenting, blended families after a divorce, intimacy, sexuality, employment stress, financial obligations, and supporting your parents even when you are an adult. This list, though not exhaustive, points to the complexity of couplehood. My training is an evidence-based model utilizing tested interventions to support couples through times of transition or recognition. Book a free consultation

When you choose to explore couple’s therapy, there is often a desire to connect with your partner but a piling up of unresolved emotions that may motivate you to seek help. As a therapist, I use that same desire to try to help you recognize the patterns of communication that are preventing you from understanding each other. I would like to validate both your experiences and foster a new kind of communication that can hold space for both your needs. If you are ready to rebuild your relationship, call now for a free consultation.

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.
