Many couples reach out feeling more like roommates than partners, repeating the same arguments, feeling unheard, or drifting apart. Other times, major life transitions, becoming parents, blending families, or facing infidelity, stir up resentment and distance. I help couples move from stuck and disconnected to rebuilding trust, closeness and intimacy. Together, we’ll uncover relational patterns, improve communication, and rebuild emotional and sexual intimacy. I draw on evidence-based models like the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and work with sexual connection (informed by Emily Nagoski’s research) to guide this journey.
Taran brings 5 years of experience in counselling, somatic trauma, mindfulness, and relational coaching. I support couples in healing old hurts while learning new ways to connect — through structured programs, group and 1:1 sessions. My evidence-based approach helps you rebuild trust, intimacy, and joy together
Most of us never learned how love and intimacy really work. We weren’t taught how intimacy and sexuality evolve, so many couples end up feeling disconnected or like roommates instead of partners especially after children. If you feel this way, you are not alone. But with the right support, couples can reconnect, deepen intimacy, and grow stronger together!
