Great Couples Counselling in Norwood, ON. Therapy to heal relationships.

If you are in a relationship that is marked by conflict, chronic arguing, anger, frustration or feeling stuck in some way, counselling can give you some tools to help you move forward. If you are feeling emotionally disconnected or distant from your parter there are ways to reconnect with your loved one that can be quickly learned. If you have been impacted by addiction, particularly compulsive sexual behaviours, I can help you understand how to move forward in to new healthy patterns.

A loving relationship can be a source of profound connecting and security, and as with many aspects of life worth pursuing, it requires nurturing.

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.

I help to guide and assist couples who are struggling with communication issues, resentment, and parenting in their relationship. I also work with couples wanting to explore ethical non-monogamy in the relationship, as well as couples navigating separation and/or divorce. I can also assist in matters relating to sex and intimacy, and am a kink and sex-positive therapist. I work with queer and straight couples.

When I work with couples, I provide a safe and structured space where both partners can feel heard, understood, and respected. Clients benefit from my approach because I help them identify patterns in their communication, emotional reactions, and relationship dynamics that may be creating conflict or disconnection. I focus on concrete strategies to improve listening, express needs clearly, manage disagreements, and rebuild trust.

Conflict and loneliness can be most painful when they arise in our most cherished relationship. Therapy can provide a supportive space to explore your concerns in an open and honest way with your partner. My approach to couples therapy acknowledges the importance of relationships in our lives and focuses on strengthening these relationships by fostering safe, honest and open communication.

I have experience working within non-monogamous/open/poly(amorous, affective, fidelity) contexts. When considering couple/family counselling, it is important that everyone is open to the idea because it can be difficult work. Counselling with an intimate partner/s can be slow going but, usually, the goal is the development of a ‘communications toolkit’ that can be used in the longterm without further mediation. Couples/family counselling can also be valuable in the shorter term to resolve one or more specific conflicts or to break out of existing unhealthy dynamics thereby renewing respectful communication.

Couples therapy is for people in relationships who want to address and regain their connection, love and passion for and amongst each other. Relationships include married, common-law, same-sex, polyamorous, those living together or separately. We work together, all of us, to identify your concerns, build a trusting and safe space as a team and move forward towards change and healing. I embody an approach that is personalized and integrated, that honours your experiences and values your stories. After the first session, I will meet one-on-one with each of you. After that, we honour the value of building together and maintaining a foundation of trust.
