My goal is to be committed to understanding my client’s needs and providing them with a safe and non-judgemental relationship and providing them with tools and skills to feel like themselves or overcome whatever they might be struggling with.
As we go through life, many times we may find ourselves stuck, lost, overwhelmed, challenged or just exhausted. We might need to discover ourselves again or change our way of life and let go of what no longer works for us. I work with people from different ranges of issues and cultures. Working with clients going through general anxiety, might limit my clients from achieving their goals to dealing with past trauma and its functions in their adult life. Each is on a different path with a unique blend of emotions and beliefs.

Navigating the complexities of identity crisis, childhood trauma, interpersonal challenges, low self-confidence, and self-esteem requires courage. These complexities might be affecting your interpersonal relationships as well, leaving you feeling disconnected or struggling to communicate effectively with your partner. Feeling unseen and unheard can be isolating; making it hard to ask for help as you might feel not good enough. However, together, we can navigate life's challenges with compassion, discover healing, and find resiliency in your journey toward growth and connection.

Couples Counselling

Does couples counseling work?

Research shows that couples counseling 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.

When should a couple seek counseling?

Couples can benefit from counseling 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.

How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?

The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.

How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?

The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
