Licensed Clinical Social Worker, BA Honours (Psychology), MSW, RSW
We look to our partner to be a safe harbour in the rough seas of life, and sometimes our intimate relationships can get off course. I have training in Emotionally Focused Couples therapy, an evidence based approach that helps couples identify the cycles they get caught in, learn more about each other's experience in those cycles, and reconnect on an emotional level-so you can find your way back to each other.

Tina Presta
Counsellor/Therapist, CPCA MPCC- Provisional, CCPCPR.Cand
I provide comprehensive counselling support for individuals navigating a wide range of personal, emotional, and situational challenges. My practice specializes in helping clients manage the pressures of perfectionism, high-achievement, and burnout, while offering dedicated space for navigating relationship, communication and marital concerns. I often work with clients needing support with the unique complexities of ADHD or neurodivergence. I offer compassionate guidance for those experiencing mild depression, anxiety, low mood, or profound loneliness, helping you build self-compassion and emotional regulation strategies. Additionally, I support individuals walking through major life disruptions and hardships, including life or career transitions, divorce and relationship strain, grief, and loss of direction. No matter the challenge, my goal is to help you slow down, understand your patterns, and build a more intentional, resilient path forward.

Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., RP, RMFT
We are hard-wired to be closely connected by relationships that fulfill and sustain us. At times, you will be challenged to look at yourself, to grow and change as you strengthen and deepen your relationships. Depending on how the challenge is presented to us, we may feel angry, anxious, confused and at a loss for what to do.

When you and your partner feel stuck in recurring arguments, emotional distance, or the routine of daily life, even simple conversations can feel like walking through a minefield. You might love each other deeply, yet still feel lonely, unheard, or worried that you're drifting apart. You shouldn't have to settle for roommate dynamics, nor do you have to keep repeating the same exhausting conflicts.
Our couples therapists offer a warm, collaborative, and strictly balanced space to help you step out of defensive patterns and back into connection. Rooted in clinical frameworks like Gottman Couples Therapy, we provide practical, research-backed tools that meet you both where you are—whether you're navigating a specific roadblock or simply wanting to rebuild emotional closeness.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Break Gridlocked Communication: Learn to express your needs without triggering defensiveness, and truly hear each other so arguments turn into opportunities for understanding.
- Rebuild Intimacy & Emotional Safety: Restore vulnerability, warmth, and connection—helping you feel seen, valued, and cherished by your partner again.
- Master Constructive Conflict: Develop healthy tools to handle differences as a unified team, navigating life's inevitable stressors with mutual respect and resilience.
You don't have to figure out how to bridge the distance on your own. Let’s partner together to help you restore your spark, deepen your bond, and build a lasting foundation for your future together.
