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.

Reaching out to a couples therapist can be uncomfortable... but living out the same issues day in and day out is probably more so! I help individuals and couples heal and repair relationship issues using the Gottman Method approach. Couples often appreciate my warm and non-judgmental approach to this work. Couples counselling is not about figuring out 'who is right' but about figuring how to move relationships to a place of greater harmony, peace, and enjoyment together. I offer a free initial consult call.

Relationships and marriage are challenging and often bring out what we need to heal the most. What needs to be addressed and looked at in the present in the past will all be looked at and worked on as necessary in order to heal.

Registered Psychotherapist, MEd, RP, CCC, RPE
My second book Connecting: Rewire Your Relationship-Culture is devoted to all things "relationship". I find that couples become unhappy in their relationships often not because of the big things like infidelity... it is all about the accumulations of little things that over time simply destroy the relationship.
We tackle the "pre-marital" checklist to ensure that their relationship-culture remains healthy. I think this work is essential since, in my experience, so many couples end up in couples’ therapy because they did not do this kind of due diligence early on. Getting real about why you chose this person, what your inner motivations are and what your family-culture influences may be are so important to ensure a successful marriage and relationship-culture.
When one enters the realm of long-term relationships and marriage, it seems that despite good intentions to not be influenced by their family of origin’s dysfunction, the autopilot “marriage personality” seems to crop up.
We work with how to fight fairly, how to communicate when triggered, micro aggressions and the the Gottman "turning away versus turning towards" principles that left unchecked will deteriorate the foundation of the relationship.
We tackle Relationship Rescue 911 when the relationship is in crisis and unpack Gottman's four horseman of destruction of a relationship and the way out of those patterns. (Dr. Gottman named four negative behavior patterns that can predict divorce. He called these destructive patterns “The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse.” ,
• Criticism: Passing judgments. Nitpicking. Constantly finding fault in the other person. Using “you” sentences; for example, “You need to go on a diet” or “You dress like a child.” Using the words “always” and “never” in sentences describing your partner; for example, “You always think only about yourself,” “You never do things the right way” or “You never do anything for me.”
• Contempt: Feeling that the other person is inferior to you. Feeling that you are superior to the other person. Having no respect for the other person. Feeling disgusted with the other person; for example, saying, “What’s wrong with you?” “You’re disgusting!” “I can’t believe I’m even with you.”
• Defensiveness: The communication is coming from a perceived feeling of an attack. Feeling like the victim in the dynamics. Feeling as though you have to constantly protect yourself. The communication comes off as angry, corrective, protective; for example, “It’s not my fault that we don’t communicate well.”
• Stonewalling: Completely shutting the other person out. No longer interacting with the other person. Emotionally amputating the other person. Ignoring them. Behaving as though the other person does not exist. Freezing the other person out as a punishment for not doing what you want them to do or behaving the way you want them to behave.
We tackle coping with Conflict and Anger in a Healthy Way through powerful communication techniques including "Initiate and Reflect".

Jane Husak
Registered Psychotherapist, BA, YTT, RP, CRPO
I am a sex positive therapist. I believe relationships are a great vehicle for growth and have the potential to teach us who we truly are. I am a Gestalt trained psychotherapist and work from a relational and embodied perspective. Together we will address your goals for therapy. In order to move closer together you must understand how you are each different. How your individual behaviors have an impact on the other and visa-versa. We will address foundational communication skills, your individual comfort with vulnerability, and how you both deal with conflict. I am always thrilled to see couples create meaningful change by strengthening friendship, restoring intimacy, and living with joy!
