You don't need both partners in the room to create profound change in your relationship dynamics. I provide specialized, individual therapy for clients navigating relationship strain, marital conflict, communication breakdowns, or the painful decision of whether to stay or leave. Please note that I work with individuals on a one-on-one basis only and do not provide sessions to couples.When you are navigating relationship or marital stress, it is incredibly easy to lose your sense of self, get caught up in chronic people-pleasing, or carry an overwhelming weight of resentment and anxiety. In our one-on-one space, we focus entirely on your well-being and patterns. We use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to untangle unhelpful communication cycles, address self-doubt, and build practical mindset tools for setting firm boundaries.Because relationship disruptions, betrayal, and deep marital loneliness live as physical stress in your body, we integrate somatic tools, breathing techniques, and visual exercises alongside neuro-experiential tools like Brainspotting. Looking beneath the surface allows us to safely process and release the hidden emotional material or old relational wounds you've been hanging onto for years. Whether you are navigating a divorce, coping with relationship strain alongside ADHD/neurodivergence, or looking to build deeper, healthier connections, together we will help you slow down, understand your patterns, and foster meaningful change.

Julie Taylor Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, MTC, RCS
Our partners are not mind readers... Yet we long for them to fill our needs? Even those needs we don't yet know that we want?! We have to know what it is, exactly, that we want and need ourselves before we have a hope of expecting our partners to fill them! We also have to ask, respectfully, in a way that they can hear. Hearing what we are truly asking is different to just listening. I will work with you to help unearth what it is that you really want and need and show you how to communicate it to your partner in such a way that they can really hear you. Easy? No. Possible? Yes! My blend of Imago and NVC has proven to be very successful.

Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
We are relational creatures and we live all our lives relationally. Our first and foremost relationship to self and then with others we call family, friends, partners or coworkers. Working on our relationships promises a life more fulfilled and more integrated.

Sam Duran
Counsellor/Therapist, MAMFT, RCC, EMDR-Trained
Relationships can become strained when conflict repeats, communication breaks down, trust has been damaged, or partners begin to feel emotionally distant from one another. I help couples better understand the patterns shaping their relationship and work toward healthier communication, greater emotional connection, and constructive ways of addressing conflict. My work with couples draws from Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and EMDR when appropriate.

I have worked with couples for over 11 years. I have completed advance training in Emotions Focused Couples Therapy which is the primary model of treatment I used with couples. In addition, I have completed training through the Gottman Institute and the Couples Institute. I pull from these treatment models as needed for my clients.
