Make your relationship more fulfilling.

Couples therapy in Vancouver, BC.

A safe space to heal insecure attachment wounds & relational trauma.

You’re tired of feeling like you are repeating the same pattern.

It’s like you can never stop the loop of the same fight.

Perhaps you are finding you and your partner are having the same argument over and over again. Or you would like some proactive support in facilitating communication around tender topics in a safe, warm and friendly environment. I am queer, trans and poly relationship allied and value creating a safe, non-judgemental space to facilitate important conversations to support your relationship and build a solid foundation it can stand on. 

My aim is for you & your partner to both feel comfortable and supported in our sessions while focusing on both the strengths of your bond and the space where improvement would help increase your satisfaction in the relationships and support you in accessing more joy together.​

My training is in both of the evidence-based approaches to working with couples - Gottman Therapy and Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT).

Sound like you?

Exhausted from having the same fight

Tired of feeling like there is nothing you can do

Ready to look at your relational dance and change the steps

Wishing that your/or your partner’s trauma did not bring up constant triggers for you both

Here’s what we’ll do together

Therapy can help you see what is really going on.

If you prefer a more structured and practical approach, we will start our work with a Relationship Check up from the Gottman Therapy Toolbox.

This assessment will give us a lot of data right away about the strengths of your relationship as well as areas we can focus on. We will practice tools to improve the trust and communication so that it would feel safe to turn towards each other again and really feel like you are on the same team.

Our attachment patterns play an important role in our relationships. Perhaps you are noticing one of you needs more space during conflict while the other partner feels anxious to resolve things right away.

We will work on identifying your attachment needs and patterns so that we could bring awareness to the emotions underneath the unmet needs you have. Recognizing the attachment cycles that keeps repeating will help us shift it to a place where you can be vulnerable & open together rather than feeling blamed or criticized.

At the end of the day, I want you to know:

Past experiences & arguments don’t have to continue holding you back. The tools to change the dance are not out of reach. Let me help you.

What we’ll work on

Imagine a life where…

  • Your relationship feels back on the path you envisioned walking down together.

  • Communication & expressing needs to each other feel safer and less scary.

  • You’re connected to yourself and your partner and feel like you have each other’s back.

  • Your past conflicts are no longer running on a loop. Conflict resolution gives you both a sense of confidence in your relationship.

Change is possible.

FAQs

  • We start with a first intake session together to talk about your goals, challenges & strengths as a couple. Afterwards, you will be invited to complete the optional Relationship Check Up assessment from Gottman Couples Therapy before having separate individual intake sessions. Once the intake sessions are completed, we will only be meeting as a group for couples therapy.

  • Yes, please! To make sure it feels like a fit for everyone, it is recommended that both partners are present during the first consultation.

  • Couples therapy is a long term process. The intake process consists of 3 sessions (one together, two individual). After intake, most couples tend to see improvements in conflict resolution in approx. 5 sessions. I recommend continuing after the initial few sessions as only after conflict deescalates are e able to start doing deeper work to improve your connection.
