I specialize in Couple's Counselling for neurodivergent (ND) humans. Effective ND counselling requires a high level of personal understanding and expertise and I'm happy to bring my clients a neurodivergent-informed background.
I also support people with alternative relationship constellations (polyamory, ENM and CNM, as well as business partners, family members and friendship counselling).

Couples often seek therapy when relationship problems are affecting their mental and physical health. For many couples, participating in couples therapy is a brave and courageous step due to a fear that the therapist may take sides and as a result, leave one partner feeling invalidated and misunderstood. The approach that I use is the Gottman Method Couple Therapy, which involves understanding each partner's inner world, beliefs, and values. I make sure that each partner feels validated and understood in order to create a safe space to share concerns.
The Gottman Method Couple Therapy was founded by Dr's John and Julie Gottman and is an evidence based approach that helps to understand why some couples live healthy lives while others resort to divorce or separation. With over 40 years of research the Gottman Method has proven as highly effective for helping couples build better friendship, manage conflict, improve intimacy, and gain a deeper understanding of their partner's inner world.
The therapeutic process largely involves helping couples identify the strengths in their relationship and the areas that need improvement. Often couples who participate in therapy struggle to acknowledge the positive factors that already exist in the relationship. When they realize that positive aspects are already present they gain renewed hope for the future. They also feel motivated to continue engaging in the behaviours that create a healthy bond with their partner. I also offer multiple interventions on the Gottman Method that help couples improve communication skills, as effective communication is a key ingredient to understanding each other's wants, needs, and values.
I am trained as a Gottman Couples Therapist and so I use the tools from this theory to help couples improve communication, rebuild trust and connection. I chose Gottman theory because it has over 45 years of research and provides the structure needed to help couples improve their relationships. I specialize in relationships, couples therapy, breakups, affairs, betrayals, and other relationship related issues.
I am a Gottman Couples Therapist with a specialization in relationship and marriage counselling. My practice is firmly grounded in research-based methods, where I employ evidence-backed tools to assist couples in enhancing their communication, resolving long-standing conflicts, and healing from past relationship traumas. In my approach, I prioritize the well-being of the relationship itself, maintaining impartiality to ensure that I can effectively support both individuals within the partnership. My unwavering passion lies in the transformative work I do with couples.
The most effective ways to improve your relationship/marriage, is to improve your relationship with yourself first. Then we look at what needs to be healed between you, what needs to change in your communication, then we work at enhancing your sexual awareness. These are foundational pieces of a happy, long lasting relationship/marriage.
