Jess Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
It can be hard to keep the spark alive in any relationship, but especially long-term relationships in which patterns have been established. Working from a psychdynamic lens, we look at how couples may have navigated their relationship as an adjunct to past traumas, and attachment styles.

Kacper Kalin
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MTh
I enjoy working with both, straight and LGBTQ+ couples, and those who at any point find themselves anywhere on exclusive vs. open relationship spectrum. We will want to better grasp your unique experiences and perspectives on where you find yourself as a couple (straight or LGBTQ+) now, versus where each of you has come from into this relationship/marriage. We will identify and acknowledge any external factors such as family, culture, and societal norms, which you feel have been impacting your relationship dynamics. We will do similarly regarding any power imbalances unique to your relationship. We will identify and empower all the strengths of your relationship. I will encourage you to express your feelings and thoughts, individual needs, and expectations openly and honestly. We will identify and explore any patterns of your interactions which you find impactful on your relationship, and see what may have been unconscious to one or both of you. We will be aiming to strike your balance between focusing on your immediately pressing issues versus the long-term change you are wishing for in your relationship.

Are you sick of having the same argument over and over again? Do you feel disconnected from your partner - like you've grown apart? Are you unhappy with your sex life, experiencing low desire, or maybe things aren't working the way you'd like them to (erectile dysfunction, inability to achieve orgasm, painful intercourse)? Do you miss how things used to be but have no idea how to get them back? We can help.

- conflict & resolution skills
- pre-marital counselling

Our Approaches
• Our Couples Programs are based in Emotion focused therapy and the
Gottman Method (GM).
• EFT is a leading-edge couples therapy designed to help partners accept, express, regulate, and managing emotion.
• The Gottman Method is backed by rigorous research that focuses on 3 specific areas: friendship, conflict management, and creating a life of shared meaning. Partners identify and recognize the Four Horsemen – negative communication styles- (criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling) that can predict the failure of a relationship (with over 95% accuracy) in order to replace these with healthier communication patterns. Couples also learn to identify “bids for communication” from their partner and how to respond to these in ways that strengthen secure bonds. The overarching goal is to help a couple accept their differences, communicates more effectively, and increase intimacy, respect and affection.
