The couples that I work with initially describe themselves as feeling "stuck." This might be patterns of behaviours or relationships, feeling weighed down or overwhelmed by trauma, self-doubt, or disconnection from their emotions and body. Sometimes it is navigating the complexities of relationship challenges or neurodivergence. Most of the time what they truly want is to feel lighter, calmer, safer and more in control of their lives. Therapy offers a space to explore these needs and to move toward the life they imagine for themselves.
Because every person’s story is different, I believe therapy must be flexible and collaborative to fit your unique needs and goals. As a trauma-informed therapist, I draw on a range of evidence-based therapies including EMDR and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy to help reduce distress and improve your quality of life.
Therapy is a place where you don’t have to carry things on your own. I’m here to walk beside you, to listen, and to support you as you move toward healing and growth. Taking the step to look for support already shows strength. You don’t have to do this alone.

I work with couples experiencing who are experiencing relationship distress, communication issues, loss of intimacy, are experiencing the fallout from infidelity, or just feel "stuck" or a bit lost on what has happened to their relationship. In our sessions, we will gently look at the cycles of behaviour that you may be in and help you find each other and your relationship again.
