Marjan Emami
Counsellor/Therapist, MD, RTC #3608, MPCC-Provisional #4797, ACTA #3122
Partners often trigger each other’s unresolved wounds, not simply as conflict, but as opportunities for deeper understanding and growth. In our work, we focus on recognizing these patterns, taking responsibility for personal triggers, and developing emotional awareness rather than reacting or blaming. I work with couples both together and individually, supporting each person in addressing their own history so it is not unconsciously brought into the relationship. The goal is to move toward more authentic connection, clearer communication, and a more grounded and conscious way of relating.

Michelle Iulianella Counselling & Psychotherapy
Counsellor/Therapist, BEd, MBA, MA, RCC
The experience of emotional intimacy is one of deep trust, connectedness and satisfaction. It is about talking to your partner about what is going on under the surface for you at any given moment. It is about immediacy and transparency. It is about emotionally turning towards your partner instead of away when things feel hard and overwhelming. It is the ability to share your inner world with your partner in a way that leaves you feeling truly seen and heard. Emotional intimacy is achieved through learning, and practicing with intention, a variety of strategies that allow you to experience new ways of thinking about, and existing within, your relationship. The effort required to cultivate these habits is well worth it. Couples experience deeper connection, dramatically enriched physical and sexual intimacy and greater emotional fulfillment. What could be better than that? The reality is that many couples don’t know where to start. Michelle loves working with couples to begin the journey towards emotional intimacy, and enjoys helping them nurture it over time.
Michelle specializes in helping couples become great communicators. She is passionate about helping her clients learn and implement the building blocks of effective, healthy communication. These include strategies for mindful listening, engaging with respect, achieving clarity, and finding the courage to be open. Mindful listening is all about the giving of one’s full attention and being utterly present in the moment. Engaging with respect involves maintaining full responsibility for one’s own thoughts, feelings and behavioural responses. This allows people to stay out of blame and past hurts. Tools for achieving clarity in communication include being specific about what you are saying and being honest with yourself and your partner about your objectives. The courage to be open requires embracing the habits of transparency, immediacy, turning towards one’s partner, and of course, healthy boundaries. Does this all sound a bit daunting? Yes, it does! Can you achieve this? Absolutely. Let Michelle show you how.

Daniel Klassen
Psychologist, Provisional, (P7619) with CAP in Alberta & Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC 19147) with BCACC, for elsewhere in Canada
Daniel previously navigated the challenges of a difficult 22-year marriage and has since found deep happiness and healing in his current partnership with another trauma therapist. Their relationship is rooted in mutual love, understanding, and acceptance—strengthened by shared experiences of overcoming early childhood trauma and the emotional toll of past relationships.
Daniel understands firsthand how conflict within a marriage or intimate partnership can create emotional instability and turmoil, not only for the individuals involved but also for any children caught in the crossfire. Prolonged relational discord can deeply impact a child’s developing sense of identity and self-worth, leaving lasting emotional scars.
Whether working with couples, individuals in intimate relationships, or those navigating complex family dynamics, Daniel’s goal is to reduce conflict and confusion while fostering greater understanding, emotional safety, and connection. He strives to promote peace, acceptance, and ultimately, lasting fulfillment in relationships.
As a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional (CSTIP), Daniel also brings specialized knowledge to address the emotional, psychological, and relational dimensions of intimacy, helping clients build deeper, more satisfying connections.

Nina Hopmeier
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC)
Couples often seek therapy when relationship problems are affecting their mental and physical health. For many couples, participating in couples therapy is a brave and courageous step due to a fear that the therapist may take sides and as a result, leave one partner feeling invalidated and misunderstood. The approach that I use is the Gottman Method Couple Therapy, which involves understanding each partner's inner world, beliefs, and values. I make sure that each partner feels validated and understood in order to create a safe space to share concerns.
The Gottman Method Couple Therapy was founded by Dr's John and Julie Gottman and is an evidence based approach that helps to understand why some couples live healthy lives while others resort to divorce or separation. With over 40 years of research the Gottman Method has proven as highly effective for helping couples build better friendship, manage conflict, improve intimacy, and gain a deeper understanding of their partner's inner world.
The therapeutic process largely involves helping couples identify the strengths in their relationship and the areas that need improvement. Often couples who participate in therapy struggle to acknowledge the positive factors that already exist in the relationship. When they realize that positive aspects are already present they gain renewed hope for the future. They also feel motivated to continue engaging in the behaviours that create a healthy bond with their partner. I also offer multiple interventions on the Gottman Method that help couples improve communication skills, as effective communication is a key ingredient to understanding each other's wants, needs, and values.

Sexual Recovery Coach
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, CST, CADC-III, CTA-CC
Sexual issues can cause profound problems for both parties in a relationship. This is particularly true if there has been a discovery of secrets or betrayal. There are 3 recoveries in these cases: his, hers and the coupleship.
The issues of trust, betrayal, lying, gaslighting etc. need to be faced to be repaired. I help couples with communication skills as well as methods of dealing with trauma and its aftermath. Trust and intimacy can be restored over time.

Nicola Deane Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
Difficulties in relationship with ourselves, and others, can leave us with sadness, frustration and confusion. With support we can identify unhelpful patterns that we may not be aware of or understand, that affects how we communicate with those around us, how we approach problems, and how we see our own roles within relationships. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space for individuals and couples to share your story, identify where things get stuck, and gain new perspective and insight to where you want to be within yourself and with others.

Inspiring Change Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Therapeutic Counsellor (RTC)
Every relationship hits friction — but when the same arguments keep cycling, emotional distance grows, or trust has been broken, it can feel like you're speaking completely different languages. Whether you're working through a specific conflict or trying to rebuild something that has drifted, couples therapy offers a structured space to slow down, listen differently, and start shifting the dynamic. The goal isn't a perfect relationship — it's one where both people feel heard, respected, and genuinely connected.

Together, we can explore and work on your relationship in a safe and confidential space. You don't have to go it alone as a couple. I’m a husband and father and previously worked as a family law lawyer. I’ve experienced family dynamics, conflict, and transformation. I bring an empathic but analytical style, seeking in part to act as host, moderator and translator for couples looking to work on their relationship.

Spencer Copland
Registered Psychotherapist, RCC, MCP
Relationships can be one of the most meaningful and also most challenging parts of life. You might find yourself repeating familiar patterns, struggling with boundaries, feeling anxious or withdrawn in connection with others, or having difficulty expressing your needs. Even when relationships are important to you, they can bring up fears of rejection, abandonment, conflict, or not being understood.
In our work together in individual therapy, we’ll explore your relational patterns with curiosity, looking at how past experiences may be shaping the way you connect in the present. Using a trauma-informed and attachment-focused approach, we’ll also pay attention to how these patterns show up in your nervous system, emotions, and sense of self within relationships. The goal is to help you feel more grounded, secure, and confident in how you relate to others while also staying connected to yourself.
I draw from approaches such as IFS, ACT, EMDR, Mindfulness-Based CBT, and somatic-based practices, tailoring our work to your unique needs. Together, we’ll work on building awareness, boundaries, and communication skills while also supporting deeper healing of relational wounds and attachment patterns.
I offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. You’re welcome to reach out or visit my website to book a free 20-minute phone consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
