Relationships shape who we are and how we move through the world.

They are where we find safety, joy, belonging, and intimacy — and also where we can feel most hurt, alone, or misunderstood. In therapy, we create space to strengthen these bonds, repair ruptures, and explore what each person needs to thrive, together or apart.

My work draws on AEDP and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) principles, using emotions as a catalyst for change, as well as the Gottman Method and family systems approaches. No single method is right for every relationship — some couples and families need skills-based learning and practice, others need to deepen awareness and connection.

Together, we shape the approach to fit your relationship and what you most want for it.

Conflict & Patterns

Conflict is a normal and healthy part of relationships, but many of us were never taught how to move through it in ways that keep us connected. Together, we work to understand repeating patterns and create new ways of engaging that foster growth instead of distance.

Communication & Intimacy

Words matter, but so does the emotional current beneath them. Therapy can help you and your partner(s) communicate more effectively, repair ruptures, and restore closeness.

Transitions

Relationships are shaped by change — moving in together, becoming parents, navigating loss, separation, or redefining the relationship. Therapy can provide support in making meaning and finding a path through transition.

Sexuality & Pleasure

Sexual connection is unique for every relationship. For some, desire feels distant; for others, curiosity, kink, or non-monogamy are important parts of intimacy. Therapy can help partners explore pleasure and sexuality in ways that increase vitality and deepen connection.

Family & Other Relationships

Not all important relationships are romantic. I also work with friends, family members, and business partners who want to strengthen their bonds or repair ruptures.

Land Acknowledgement

My practice respects the various histories and cultures of the Beothuk, Mi’kmaq, Innu, and Inuit people of this region, as well as the fact that the lands on which we are gathered are in the traditional territory of numerous Indigenous groups. I pledge to work in the spirit of reconciliation and truth as we keep our hearts and minds open to the past while striving toward building a brighter future for all.
