Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, Qualifying
As an Internal Family Systems informed therapist, I work with couples using the IFIO (Intimacy From the Inside Out) method to support couples in having courage and compassion to communicate in ways that allow deeper bonds and greater levels of intimacy.
Relationships and marriages can be challenging and can experience a range of difficulties, from communication problems to infidelity. Marriage and relationship counseling, also known as couples therapy, is a type of psychotherapy designed to help couples improve their relationships and resolve conflicts.
In couples therapy, a licensed mental health professional works with both partners to address specific problems, improve communication, and increase understanding and empathy. The therapy can address a wide range of issues, from small conflicts to more complex relationship problems such as intimacy, trust, and power dynamics. Couples therapy can help couples develop stronger bonds and improve their overall relationship satisfaction.
If you and your partner are facing difficulties in your relationship, consider seeking the help of a licensed mental health professional to support you in resolving conflicts and improving your relationship.
I work to support couples experiencing issues related to intimacy, emotional distance, communication, conflict, betrayals and trust, and life transitions (i.e., marriage, divorce, loss, childbirth). My approach draws from the Gottman method and CBT sex therapy for couples, targeting aspects of conflicting verbal communication; intimacy, respect, affection, and empathy between partners; removal of resistances, issues, and/or sexual concerns that create stagnancy and distance; and increasing intimacy and eroticism to create/maintain desire within the relationship.

Relationship and marriage counselling offers a transformative journey of healing and connection for couples. Rooted in the understanding that our early attachment experiences shape the blueprint for our adult relationships, therapy provides a safe space to explore the intricacies of emotional bonds and address unresolved traumas that may be impacting the relationship. Whether navigating communication challenges, rebuilding trust after infidelity, or addressing patterns of codependency, therapy delves into the depths of attachment dynamics and past wounds, fostering empathy, understanding, and resilience. By nurturing secure attachments and processing traumatic experiences together, couples can embark on a journey of growth and renewal, forging deeper intimacy and creating a foundation for a fulfilling and enduring partnership.

Relationships and marriage are challenging and often bring out what we need to heal the most. What needs to be addressed and looked at in the present in the past will all be looked at and worked on as necessary in order to heal.
Building strong relationship bonds often requires positive communication, open perspective, compassion, compromise and assertiveness. Therapeutic interventions can address gaps in these skills and work to build unified goals for the future.
