Conflicts in relationships are inevitable! It’s how we adapt & overcome them that makes the difference. These conflicts can be circumstantial or rooted in anxieties from the past and may not look like your typical conflict. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing the same anxious thoughts or maybe you're stuck in the same negative patterns that you can't seem to break as a couple. Interpersonal and internal conflict can leave us feeling stuck, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. Most importantly, recognizing that fear is an emotion we all experience and discovering how fear operates for you is okay to explore.
When working with me, we can discover and work through the stressors, experiences, patterns, & deep-rooted insecurities within your relationship. From me, you can expect a warm, collaborative, judgment-free and practical approach filled with humour and my human side. I love to support couples, including ethical non monogamous and LGBTQ+ couples!
I'm determined to uncover the conscious and unconscious complexities that each client may be experiencing. Through implementation of self-compassion, mindfulness, emotional regulation, and assertive temperament skills, we can work together to form healthier patterns in your relationship. Reach out today for a free chat!

I approach each case based on client-centered needs and priorities. Once various psychological themes are discovered, I offer clients the freedom to decide which themes they would like to tackle first. I then proceed with an orientation that best suits the clients personality, style and of course, their goals.
