Couples Therapy
Couples therapy isn't for relationships that are falling apart. It's for relationships worth fighting for.
Every relationship has a story. Some chapters are harder to write than others.
You may have come here because the distance between you has grown quietly over time. Or because something happened that shook the foundation of everything you built together. Or because you love each other — and that love alone no longer feels like enough to find your way back.
Wherever you are arriving from, you are not here by accident. Reaching out is the hardest part. You've already done it.
Couples wait an average of six years before seeking help. You don't have to.
Research tells us that conflict in relationships is rarely about what it appears to be about. Underneath the arguments about money, parenting, or distance is almost always the same question — are you there for me? When that question goes unanswered long enough, the patterns become the relationship.
Research also tells us that it takes five positive interactions to outweigh a single negative one. When couples are struggling, that ratio quietly flips — and the negative starts to define everything. The same arguments cycle endlessly. The same silences stretch longer. The same moments of reaching out go unanswered.
This is not a sign that your relationship is beyond repair. It is a sign that the patterns have become larger than the tools you currently have to address them.
That is exactly what couples therapy is designed to change. Couples counselling offers a structured, supported space to interrupt those patterns and build something different - together.
The Approach: Relational, Direct, and Evidence-Based
No two relationships are the same — and no single framework tells the whole story. My work draws on a range of evidence-based approaches, woven together based on what each couple brings into the room.
I won't sit in silence while you search for answers. I will be an honest, engaged presence — someone who will gently name the patterns that are hard to see from the inside, while holding a space that is warm, grounded, and completely non-judgmental.
I believe that being direct is a form of respect. Growth asks something of you — and I will ask it, with care.

How We Work Together
Choosing the right couples therapist is an important step. This complimentary consultation is an opportunity to briefly connect, talk about what is bringing you in, and explore whether my approach feels aligned with the journey you want to take. Both partners are welcome and encouraged to be present.
$0 | Both partners Required.
A dedicated time to slow down and look honestly at your patterns, communication, and connection. We identify the cycles keeping you stuck and begin developing new ways of responding to each other — with curiosity, respect, and care. My approach blends heartfelt presence with practical, evidence-based guidance.
$215 per session. Sunlife insurance direct billing available upon request.
Some relational challenges benefit from exploring both shared and individual perspectives. In this format, we meet together as a couple, then each partner meets individually, and we reconvene to integrate insights and plan next steps. This structure is available after an initial couples session has been completed and both partners have agreed to the individual component.
