If you’re wanting to enhance your relationship, you’ve come to the right place. Couples counselling can support partners who feel disconnected under the same roof, struggle to get through to one another, or find themselves stuck in recurring cycles of miscommunication. In our work together, we’ll gently explore the underlying dynamics that keep you feeling stuck, while developing practical tools for meaningful, respectful dialogue. My approach focuses on building on what is already working in your relationship, fostering ways of interacting that promote understanding, emotional safety, ease, and renewed connection. With the right support, it’s possible to create pathways back to the warmth and closeness you both long for. Reach out for a free 15-minute discovery call to see if we’re a good fit.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Gottman Method Couples Therapy Based on decades of research, this method gives couples tools to improve communication, manage conflict, and strengthen intimacy.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
Approach Description: I create a safe space to deepen your connection to yourself and those you care about most. I am strength based, non-judgemental, and ground my practice in science. I have a calm and empathetic approach, understanding that each person's experience is unique. I support you with evidence-based modalities, while attuning to each person's unique story and needs in the moment.
