As it is normal to experience emotional difficulties during life, counselling is one way of supporting you at such times. Some of the ways that couples therapy can work include, identifying toxic relationship patterns and helping couples to work on changing these, bringing a new perspective to issues and helping couples to understand each other's perspectives, finding new ways to resolve conflicts, building trust and improving communication. Most importantly, providing a safe space for both partners to work through their issues.
I work collaboratively with individual clients across the lifespan ranging from late adolescence to older adults. I specialize in COUPLES' ISSUES /relational issues, as well as depression, anxiety, divorce separation, addiction, co-dependency, social anxiety, loss, sexual issues, domestic violence, identity issues and addressing trauma histories.
Each hour that is spent in your therapy journey, is an opportunity to explore issues that may be preventing you from leading a more rewarding and fulfilling life. My hope is that, with time, clients can free themselves from past issues/behaviours and grow into the unique person/couple they really are!
