Relationship Counselling
I specialize in couples counselling, helping couples find each other again, repairing relationships and coaching essential relationship skills. Get the skills you need to make your relationship glow. Stop having the same argument, resolve conflict, solve gridlock (stuck problems), rebuild trust, deal with infidelity, and get your connection back. In relationship counselling I help couples gain positive skills to communicate & connect in a gentle, non-judgmental way that allows partners to gain control of interactions and find a deeper sense of trust, understanding, and intimacy. When your relationship works, everything else in life just feels that much better.
If you are dealing with pain and hurt from the ending of a relationship, I can help you through this difficult time too. I also offer effective strategies for dealing with addiction, anxiety, depression, and trauma, and I can help with grief and loss. Overwhelmed by your thoughts? Get skills to de-clutter your mind, relax, and think and act clearly.
Psychotherapy = Change
If you find the same problems keep appearing in your life, chances are there are patterns below the surface. Once identified and addressed, stuck patterns transform into understanding, better communication, and life-satisfaction. In psychotherapy I help with the symptoms (of depression, anxiety, relationship conflict) as well as the underlying issues, so that changes are long-term.
Counselling is an Active Process
Counseling is more than just listening with empathy, it is an active process of change; expect transformation. Most clients experience significant change after just a few sessions.
