💬 Feeling Stuck in Your Relationship?
If you’re feeling disconnected, overwhelmed by arguments, or wondering if you can ever get back to how things used to be — you’re not alone.
I'm a down-to-earth, client-centered counsellor who helps couples and individuals work through some of the hardest seasons of their relationships.
No pressure. No judgment. Just warmth, honesty, and real support.
💞 What I Can Help With:
✔️ Constant conflict or repeating the same argument
✔️ Emotional distance or feeling like roommates
✔️ Affairs and betrayals (emotional or physical)
✔️ Resentment, anger, and communication breakdowns
✔️ Struggles around intimacy and connection
✔️ Parenting stress and family tension
✔️ Feeling lost — unsure whether to stay or leave
🧠 My Approach:
I’m trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method — two of the most research-backed and effective couples therapy approaches out there.
We’ll work together to:
– Understand your negative cycle and what’s driving it
– Create safer, more open ways to communicate
– Rebuild trust, closeness, and emotional safety
Therapy with me isn’t stuffy or clinical.
It’s real, grounded, and at your pace.
We talk. We get curious. We look for new ways forward.
🧍♀️ Not Ready for Couples Therapy?
That’s okay too. I also work with individuals navigating relationship stress — whether your partner isn’t ready to attend, or you just need support figuring things out on your own.
✨ What It’s Like to Work Together
Our sessions aren’t about judgment or quick fixes. They’re about making space to feel seen, understood, and supported.
You’ll start to notice how your coping strategies — things like shutting down, avoiding conflict, going silent, overexplaining, needing constant reassurance, people-pleasing, over-checking your partner’s mood, or pushing for answers when things feel off — aren’t personal flaws.
They’re patterns. They’re strategies you learned to protect yourself — often long before this relationship ever began. Maybe they helped you feel safe, get your needs met, or avoid rejection. But now, those same habits are keeping you and your partner from feeling truly connected.
In therapy, we’ll slow things down so you can start to see these patterns with more compassion. When you stop blaming each other — or yourself — and start getting curious about what’s really going on underneath, that’s when things begin to change.
And those changes don’t have to be huge to matter. A softer tone, a pause, a deeper breath, a different response in a familiar moment — it all adds up. One small shift at a time, your relationship can feel more connected, more secure, and more like home.
