If you’re living with the pain of religious trauma, complex PTSD, OCD, or a strained relationship with food and your body, you may feel disconnected from yourself, from others, or from your values.
In my work with clients I often use EMDR (working toward level 2 certification), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (ECFT). I also integrate CBT techniques for tinnitus or hyperacusis. My style is collaborative and relational - I believe therapy works best when we tailor it to your needs, values, and strengths.

Or you love each other but feel more like roommates than partners.

We'll work on the easy & hard stuff (conflict, sex, trust) in a space that's judgment-free & actually feels human. My style is direct & warm. I utilize both Gottman Couples Therapy & Gestalt Therapy.

Whether you're healing from trauma, navigating a relationship that feels disconnected, grieving a profound loss, or discovering your neurodivergent identity later in life, therapy can become a place where your story finally makes sense.
First off, we can just talk like people, no psychobabble. I have created a cozy, little space for in-person sessions and offer the convenience of online work as well. Most of my clients are parents, some are even grandparents. We've all got some loss, trauma, faith shifts, role transitions, burnout, ADHD suspicions: nothing is off the table.

When should a couple seek counselling?
Couples can benefit from counselling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
What can a couples therapist help with?
A therapist can help a couple navigate a wide array of challenges, including balance in the relationship, communication and conflict, boundaries, intimacy and sex, parenting and conflicts with children, family dynamics, life transitions, stressors, job losses, deception, affairs, grief, alcohol or substance use, mental or physical illnesses, general unhappiness, and separation or divorce.
What therapy types are most suitable for couples counselling?
Couples counselling encompasses many effective techniques, including emotionally focused therapy (changing emotional responses to improve attachment), the Gottman method (solving problems and building intimacy), Imago relationship therapy (unearthing childhood experiences), narrative therapy (exploring narratives about the individuals and the relationship), solution-focused therapy (creating a plan for change), and cognitive behavioural therapy (targeting problematic thoughts to change behaviour).
Does couples counselling work?
Research shows that couples counselling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
