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.

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.

Healthy relationships and marriage take work. Each person needs to feel seen and heard. What may work for one couple may not work for another. It's important to learn about each other and create a relationship that works for both fo you.

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.
