Great Couples Counselling in Niagara Falls, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

Relationships can be both motivating life enhancing and challenging or difficult. I can work with you to recognize unhealthy patterns and to replace them with healthy patterns. Also, we can work together to understand what might be getting in the way positive growth in you relationships. We can work toward finding changes you can make that will allow you to get greater satisfaction out of your relationships.

When it comes to couples, the total is greater than the sum of its parts. Therefore, in couple therapy, the focus is not on the two sides of the equation. Rather, the object of inquiry and therapy is the relationship between those two sides. The therapy examines the interpersonal relationship and treats it as a third space. Therefore, the goal is not to change the individuals but to change the way they communicate, understand, and accept each other. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Relationships can become stuck in cycles of conflict, disconnection, or resentment, even when both partners want things to improve. I specialize in helping couples understand the patterns that keep them feeling distant while building healthier ways to communicate and reconnect. Using Relational Life Therapy, Gottman-informed methods, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and attachment-based approaches, I support couples in rebuilding trust, strengthening intimacy, and creating lasting change so your relationship feels like a source of support rather than stress.

Taking time with your loved one can be a beautiful and fulfilling experience. However, it can feel challenging when you and your partner are stuck in previous patterns of behaviour, communication, and interaction. As a couple therapist, I will support you in better understanding yourself, your loved one, and your relationship to navigate challenges (e.g., communication, attachment, trust, etc.). I seek to enable you and your partner to work as a team in navigating whatever struggles come your way and developing your own unique toolkit.

Family Systems theory is primarily focused on three areas. These are individuals, couples, and families (including children). Couples therapy focuses exclusively on the couple's dyad. This connection is affected by many factors: Past childhood experiences of family life, current parenting and grandparenting, blended families after a divorce, intimacy, sexuality, employment stress, financial obligations, and supporting your parents even when you are an adult. This list, though not exhaustive, points to the complexity of couplehood. My training is an evidence-based model utilizing tested interventions to support couples through times of transition or recognition. Book a free consultation

Counseling helps you address your habitual pattern of mutual hurt in your relationship. My goal is to help you both to listen. Responsive listening, especially reflection of feelings, is the most helpful. Try to hear about his or her history, hurts, scars. You might well think and act differently in similar circumstances, but can you listen to what makes him tick? “Getting it” completely is impossible. Trying counts for a lot. Counselling helps you both to tune in to each other.

I specialize in working with couples in crisis because of a betrayal, trauma, PTSD, addictions, and ADHD. I am a registered gestalt therapist with somatic experiencing training out of California.
