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

My approach to couples counseling focuses on helping men struggling in relationships gain deeper self-awareness, emotional insight, and healthier communication skills. While couples therapy typically involves both partners, individual therapy can be a powerful way for men to explore their own relational patterns, attachment styles, and emotional responses that may be affecting their relationships. Using a psychodynamic approach, we work to uncover unconscious beliefs and past experiences that shape how you connect with your partner. By understanding these deeper influences, you can improve communication, navigate conflict more effectively, and foster greater emotional intimacy. Strengthening

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

Relationships can bring joy and connection, but they also face challenges like miscommunication, unmet needs, or trust issues. Over time, stress and unresolved conflicts can create distance. Couples therapy provides a space to reconnect, improve communication, and address recurring patterns. Together, we’ll explore each partner’s perspective, build empathy, and develop tools for resolving conflicts constructively. Therapy isn’t about assigning blame but fostering a deeper understanding of each other. Whether you’re rebuilding after a breach of trust or simply seeking to strengthen your bond, couples therapy can help you grow together and create a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

In my work with couples, I encourage each individual to understand their role in conflict so that they can take ownership and make new decisions that prioritize the relationship. Through these conversations, each person can begin to develop compassion for their partner, so new ways of being can help the relationship grow while strengthening the connection.

Couple counseling in both hetero and homo sexual realtionships has the same starting point of communication, trust, and respect. As a professional using Interpersonal Communication techniques I would help the couple come to understand not only each other as a couple but also themselves as an individual in the couple's relationship. By role modeling an unbias position I will help lend a new perspective to the couple's relationship issues that may not have been seen through the day-to-day routine of their busy lives.

In our ‘significant other’ partnerships we want what we've always wanted: friend for life, passionate fulfillment, unconditional acceptance and love, loyalty, refuge from aloneness… So why do we stop ‘dating’ her/him? Getting this close to someone often has unexpected but predictable consequences: we eventually discover significant differences that ‘disturb’ us. How we interpret these then act toward one another accordingly, is key. However, this can be complicated. Good ‘Couple/Marital Therapy’ respects our complexity. And seeks to transform it from conflict into ‘richness and abundance’ (or end it gracefully). I bring many reliable methods/ resources to support couples desiring growth.

My approach to couples therapy is grounded in collaboration, respect, and emotional safety. Using the Gottman Method, I help partners strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection. Sessions focus on understanding each partner’s needs, improving conflict resolution, and fostering appreciation and empathy within the relationship. By learning to navigate differences with care and curiosity, couples can shift from disconnection to understanding, creating a stronger and more resilient partnership built on mutual respect, shared meaning, and lasting emotional intimacy.

I believe that a healthy couple's relationship is one of the most challenging types of relationships to develop and sustain. This is because a couple’s relationship requires that the couple juggle and balance well at least three types of relationship with each other. When all 3 types of relationships are functioning well between a couple, each individual will feel loved, valued, and respected; and the couple will be able to resolve conflict well and set and achieve common goals collaboratively. Through counseling, I can help you improve how you relate to each other as friends, partners and lovers. Instead of being and operating as individuals, you can be and operate as a true couple.

Nothing is as rewarding or satisfying as a healthy, loving, intimate relationship and nothing is as damaging and destructive as an intimate relationship gone wrong. I offer premarriage counselling and I help heterosexual couples of all ages strengthen their relationship and increase trust. I also help couples repair and renew trust when it has been broken. While communication is important, trust is the most vital component to a healthy relationship. My approach is eclectic.

Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to witness profound transformations, such as couples moving from disconnection and resentment to deep emotional intimacy and renewed trust   Couples counselling helps you explore and understand the challenges you're facing together. Common topics include: Communication, intimacy, trust, finances, extended family, parenting styles (if children are involved), and problem-solving. Our session time offers a safe space to work through the conflict and build a stronger connection.

Intimate relationships are like a dance – they can be quite joyful and energizing but when facing obstacles, partners need to find the steps and rhythm to move more freely. Couple therapy can provide a safe space in which you and your partner can gain a deeper understanding of one another and what contributes to difficulties within the dance of your relationship. Should you decide to attend sessions, I will work with you to facilitate honest conversations, help you to better understand what you may need from one another, and support you in finding a way to step toward more acceptance, intimacy, and connection.

I LOVE working with couples. I believe relationships require empathy, openness and effort. I embrace diversity of all kinds and encourage you to seek help as soon as the pattern between you is stuck.

Just as J.F.K. said: "Ask not what you can get form your country, but what you can GIVE to your country", so is a couple's relationship. It is not what we can get from our partner, but how do we learn to love them and care for them in a way that makes us feel good, dignified and respectable. Love may not have much to do with this: do we LIKE each other? How do we co-create a safe heaven, a secure base in which we feel nurtured, liked, respected and protected, yet free to be who we really are? What kind of communication is most effective?

If you are coming to couples therapy, you and your partner have developed unhealthy patterns of relating. I will help you overcome your toxic communication patterns. If there has been an affair, I will help you recognize and acknowledge the deep emotional trauma it has caused. I will help you move from self-focus to partner-focus, and finally I will help move you from blame to understanding and empathy.

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?

My background in relational therapy allows me to understand individuals through the relationships they cohabit. Couple therapy may be a vehicle for growth to occur both relationally and individually. This in turn may assist in bringing you closer to your desired goals through understanding and breaking down language used in romantic relationships. Throughout couple sessions, I lean towards emotionally focused therapy, as I have witnessed its transformative effects particularly in romantic relationships. Please contact me for a free consultation to learn more about my approach and to determine if we would be a good fit.

A committed relationship has its ups and downs. People change and life challenges can cause stress. I help couples explore their individual needs and what they want in a relationship. Sometimes a quiet hour to reconnect with your partner is all it takes to rekindle the love that brought you together. By exploring how a couple manages communication,conflict and division of tasks can also eliminate stress that interferes with intimacy. However, I also offer a safe place to process the end of relationships.

Friend, lover, husband, wife, partner, intimate co-creator / intimate enemy: the options of what way couple therapy can help are many. I have over 40 years experience with couples of every variety (straight, lesbian, gay, swingers and so on) and have always found the balance both within each person as well as between the partners as key. Couples - even when in Big Time Conflict - can learn what other choices they have: as individuals and as a working team. The balancing of power between self and one’s partner is the key learning that is often needed. Inevitably both people have areas of esteem - but also areas of vulnerability. It takes risking, but change and healing are possible.
