Stop the Cycle of Conflict & Rediscover Your Connection
If only things were as easy as “just communicate better”
Relationships bring such love, happiness, and excitement into your life, but when your relationship is struggling, you feel deep pain and disconnection. You have probably read all the books and listened to many podcasts, but nothing seems to help in the moments when problems arise. It’s like a runaway train that’s lost all control.
YOU ARE LEFT FEELING…
Misunderstood, lonely, and disconnected from your partner/spouse
Avoiding certain topics because you worry it will start a fight
Difficulties navigating division of labour, life transitions, daily stressors, chronic health and/or mental health issues, and parenting
Being on an emotional roller coaster- when things are good they are great and when things are bad it’s really bad
Deadlocks on important decisions, unable to find common ground with your partner/spouse
Struggles with sexual intimacy, passion, and desire differences
Feeling disconnected, not on the same page or operating as a team with your partner/spouse
Difficulties navigating differences in cultural, familial, and/or religious backgrounds
How I work
I’ll help you get to the root of your conflicts. In couples therapy, my client is the relationship, this means I don’t take sides or point blame
I support you both to tackle the problems in the relationship together (and yes, I will support you with practical tools like communication skills too!). I use Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy to help each of you understand and work through the unhelpful patterns, behaviours, past experiences, and underlying emotions that drive your cycle of conflict. I actively work with you and your partner/spouse to do things differently in session to get you to a place of meaningful resolution and deeper connection
What we’ll work on
Connection in your relationship can look like….
Feeling more seen, heard, and deeply understood by your partner/spouse
Increased trust, safety, and confidence in one another and the relationship
Improved communication, boundary setting, and loving accountability
Healing past hurts and making ongoing repairs
Increased passion and sexual intimacy
Feeling a healthy balance of togetherness and separateness
Stronger sense of “we” and togetherness. Enjoying more fun, lightness, and playfulness with your partner/spouse
