Are you feeling unsatisfied with your connection to your partner? Are you frustrated because you know that you are stuck in a pattern of interaction, but don't know how to change it? Are you happy with your sexual relationship? Our intimate, partner relationships are often among the most important in our lives. When we feel emotionally and physically connected to our partners, we feel at peace and happy. But for a variety of reasons, our intimate relationships can become challenged, leading to feeling emotionally disconnected and adrift from our significant other(s), causing difficulties with communication and relationship satisfaction.

Life has a way of throwing us into moments of uncertainty and struggle, where we question our worth, our direction, and even our place in the world. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am here to remind you that you don’t have to face these challenges alone.
I understand how overwhelming it can be to balance competing expectations, whether they come from family, society, or even within ourselves. Many of us carry unseen burdens like the weight of self-doubt, unresolved pain, or the pressure to always “keep it together” or feel “enough.” These struggles can leave us feeling anxious, disconnected, or uncertain.

I help couples overcome conflict to create strong and harmonious relationships. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I help couples quiet the conflict in their relationship. What were once heart-breaking conversations the couple did not know how to fix, turn into dialogue around making the relationship better, repairing old hurts, and deepening emotional connection. Whether the conflict stems from poor communication and emotional distance, to trauma, affairs, infertility, or substance use problems, the evidence based treatments can help couples communicate openly and find solutions, or decide it is time to move on.
