IS THIS YOU?
Many couples come to therapy saying one of these things:
​
"We keep having the same argument. Nothing ever changes."
"We don't fight - we've just... stopped talking."
"I feel more like roommates than partners."
"One of us had an affair, and we don't know if we can come back from it."
"We love each other but we can't seem to stop hurting each other."
"We've tried talking it out on our own. We go in circles."
These are not signs that your relationship is beyond repair. They are signs that you need a different kind of conversation - one with some structure, safety, and a third voice in the room.
That's what I offer.​​
​
WHAT COUPLES THERAPY LOOKS LIKE
What we actually do in sessions:
Couples therapy with me is not about sitting in silence while I referee. It's active, structured, and focused on creating real change. And I'll be honest - couples therapy is some of the most meaningful work I do. Two people who care enough about each other to sit down with a stranger and try to figure it out together: that takes commitment, hope, and good intentions.
​
Understanding the cycle
Most couples are stuck in a pattern - a predictable loop of triggers, reactions, and outcomes. We identify it first, because you can't change what you can't see.
​
Building communication tools that work
Not scripts but rather genuine skills. How to say what you mean without starting a war. How to listen when you're flooded with emotion.
​
Repairing the trust and connection
Whether the rupture is recent or has been building for years, repair is possible if both people are willing.
​
Rebuilding intimacy (emotional and physical)
Distance in relationships is rarely just one thing. We look at the whole picture.
​
Planning for the future
Whether that means strengthening your partnership or, in some cases, navigating a respectful separation, we do it with clarity and dignity.
My Approach: Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
When couples come to me, they're often stuck in the same argument - different words, same wound. Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) is the framework I use to help you find your way out of that loop.
​
Developed by Dr. Sue Johnson and backed by over three decades of research, EFT works by getting underneath the conflict to what's actually driving it: attachment needs, fear of disconnection, and the emotional patterns that keep you both feeling unheard. It's not about assigning blame or teaching you communication scripts. It's about helping you and your partner understand what's really happening between you - and gradually, to respond to each other differently.
​
EFT is one of the most rigorously studied approaches in couples therapy, with strong outcomes even for couples in significant distress. Most people notice a shift not just in how they argue, but in how safe and close they feel - which is usually what they wanted all along.
​
If you've tried couples therapy before without much success, EFT's attachment-focused lens often reaches what other approaches miss.
WHO I WORK WITH
The couples I see tend to be:
​
• Couples who've been together for years and feel the distance growing
• Partners navigating major transitions - new baby, career upheaval, loss, illness
• Couples where one or both partners have high-stress careers and the relationship is paying for it
• Partners in the aftermath of infidelity who want to get beyond the pain and try again
• Couples who have exhausted their own attempts to fix things and need outside help
​
I work with couples of all backgrounds, orientations, and relationship structures.
​
Whether you think of it as couples therapy, relationship therapy, or marriage counselling, what matters is that you're here.
Sessions are offered in English and French.
HOW VIRTUAL COUPLES THERAPY WORKS
Yes, couples therapy works online.
Both partners join the session by video from the same location or from two separate ones. Sessions are 50 minutes. The format is surprisingly intimate and effective - and far easier to fit into two busy schedules than in-person appointments.
Sessions are held over a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform.
All you need is a private space and a device with a camera.
