Therapists in Ottawa, ON

At The Centre for Couples and Relationships, we believe that intimate relationships are central to human connection, attachment, and well-being. As we go through life stressors and challenges, so do our relationships. If your relationship is in need of improved communication, deeper connection, or repair, we can help. We work with couples and partners struggling with issues such as communication, disconnection, intimacy, infidelity, and family dynamics. We provide a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your relationship dynamics and to repair previous patterns of conflict or hurt.

We all go through challenges in our lives, but it is not talking about it that makes it so much harder. Life is like a wave; we cannot change how it breaks but how we ride it. I use a client-centred, multicultural discipline and collaborative approach (EMDR, CBT) to help individuals and couples grow and heal. I sincerely believe in the uniqueness, courage, and ability to change and grow in each individual. I believe in empowering you with the tools to find relief, clarity, and emotional growth. I believe in helping couples recognize, manage and reconcile issues that cause stress and/or disconnection in their relationship.
