Relationship Therapy in North & West Vancouver & Squamish

When Your Relationship Feels Stuck, Disconnected, or on the Brink—You’re Not Alone

Perhaps your relationship lacks depth and vulnerability. It might feel superficial. You may even have started avoiding each other.

There could be mental health struggles or a crisis that is impacting your relationship. It’s possible that your family has experienced a stressful or traumatic event (e.g., an accident, critical illness diagnosis, witnessed heated arguments or abuse at home).

You may be worried about how your relationship is affecting your children. There might be frustration that the two of you can’t agree on parenting methods and styles.

Power struggles could have you feeling gridlocked on issues. It may be at the point that one (or both) of you have started fantasizing about a life that doesn’t include your partner. You may even be on the brink of separation or divorce. Or you could be reeling after a betrayal (e.g., extramarital affairs or ongoing lies about finances or other important matters).

Your relationship situation might feel bleak. You may feel helpless.

But… There is hope! Whether you’re located in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, Squamish, the Lower Mainland, or throughout British Columbia.

I’ve worked with hundreds of couples who were going through the same things. I can help.

Empowering and inspiring my North Shore and online clients to reach their truest potential is my passion and mission. My unique approach when working with couples will support you in developing a toolbox with practical and actionable strategies to strengthen your connection as a couple or a family.

As a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist, I have developed a unique approach when working with couples. I complement The Gottman Method by incorporating aspects from other areas of my specializations, such as Attachment Theory, Mental Health, Trauma, and Neuroscience. I’m also certified in Dr. Sue Johnson’s Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), focusing on de-escalating conflicts and reestablishing emotional connections. By incorporating these aspects, I have gone on to create my own innovative approach when working with couples that has set a new standard for couples therapy.

I’ve witnessed this approach help so many couples to get their relationships back on track. Every time I do, it brings me a great sense of joy to see the couple reconnecting and on the road to happiness.

“Vulnerability is our natural state of being. When we have been met with too many painful experiences in our lives, the brain has a powerful defense mechanism to protect us from feeling further hurt and vulnerability. When this defense turns on, it will keep us loving at arm’s length, it puts our protective walls up, and our armour on. One of my missions is to help my clients understand and get to the root of their brain’s defense, so they can learn how to increase their capacity, bit by bit, to get back to their natural state of being, which is vulnerability.”
