Great Couples Counselling in Fort Saskatchewan, AB. Therapy to heal relationships.

In a relationship, each member is responsible for an equal share of the dynamic. In a family, that means it splits between the amount of people, and in a couple it’s 50% created by each partner. This 50% is the result of the individual’s needs- both functional and dysfunctional. Functional needs relate to biological drives, culture, relationship goals, values, etc. Dysfunctional needs come from limiting beliefs, which are internalized in our childhood. They create needs like: the need to be in control, or the need to protect oneself. The needs, whether functional or dysfunctional, can balance each other out, creating a “stabilizer” or they can become unmet needs.

I've worked with multiple couples in many kinds of relationships. Whether dating, engaged, married, separated, or divorced, my goal is to help you in the most genuine way, to improve your communication, to solve some of your unsolvable problems and to break down barriers that may be getting in the way of achieving all you hope to in your relationship. As a professional, I am extensively trained to remain neutral and work towards the best for both individuals of the couple.

In my work I am enabling couples to resolve disagreements, or agree to disagree, without becoming disconnected or abusive. Given that different couples might need different types of intervention, the mechanisms of change vary accordingly. Therefore, in order to achieve change and enable growth, I am using an integrative approach, which I tailor to suit the needs, experiences, and personal circumstances of the couple.
