Today's couples take many forms, from pre-marriage relationship to co-habitation to marriage in its different stages. There are gay and lesbian couples as well as second marriages with blended families. My approach with couples is to observe their communication patterns and patterns of stuckness. With insight and experience, I help them identify ways for better communication and how earlier childhood and relationship patterns or unresolved issues are impeding present relationship. Working with a balanced alliance with both partners lays the foundation of trust in couple counselling.

Using the training I have in the Gottman Method, I can help couples learn to improve their communication, increase intimacy, respect and affection, and teach them how to make small, positive changes that will grow their relationship.

Healing and growing in our sexuality & eroticism can help us understand ourselves and our partners in ways we may have never been privileged to before. It opens us to the appreciation of the full depth and breadth of human erotic expression. I work with individuals and couples.

All forms of love, relationship structures, and sexual expression (from the most sensual "vanilla" to the raunchiest kink) welcome.

Couples often get stuck in their relationships - they disconnect. The good news is that reconnection is possible. Sometimes, it means processing through regrettable incidents or learning to take responsibility for the pieces of communication that you can improve.

I provide pre-marital counselling, couples counselling, and separation/divorce counselling. My focus is to help you learn 'conflict management' whether staying together or divorcing. I often see couples separately, or frequently just one of the couples will come to see me in order learn coping strategies that they can use within their relationship. It only takes one of the couples making a small change that can make a big difference in their relationship. Or, at times one of the couples, who may be contemplating a divorce may want to talk. Often talking helps to clarify one's situation.

What are the most common couples' issues? If you are thinking "communication, conflict, sex, money, child rearing" you are correct. However, most therapists will go after the symptom on each side of the couple fence thinking that the way to effective change is by getting each party to "work" on their respective "issue". Many times the parties don’t agree but comply. Imagine if you could align the unconscious brains of a couple and stop the "working on your issues" part that has become so popular in therapy settings?

Couples counselling is an opportunity to help people see their relationship from a different perspective. I often say that perspective change equals emotional change. I want to help couples remember the strengths they bring to the relationship. I also provide education on understanding communication and conflict resolution. I encourage believe that a healthy relationship is when both partners are deliberately and frequently looking for ways to contribute to the well-being of their partner.

One of the biggest problems with marriage counselling today is that counsellors use methods that haven't been proven effective by research. Many marriage therapists have worked with systems of therapy that they thought would be effective, but unfortunately they are not. This can then leave couples feeling like 'its them' when really it's just the therapy. Both Jennifer Watts & Dr. Patrick Keelan use Gottman-based marital counselling, which is based on 40 years of research and is proven to yield results.
