Specialized Services for Couples
Are you feeling like there is a lack of communication in your relationship? Do you or your partner struggle with unmet expectations or difficulty resolving issues? Do you want to improve intimacy? These are the most common issues that bring people to couples therapy.
Navigating a relationship can be challenging, especially when trying to grow closer to your partner without losing your sense of self. Research suggests that 69% of conflicts in relationships arise from differences between partners, such as conflicting desires, needs, upbringings, values, and priorities. It’s important to recognize that there are always three perspectives in a relationship: yours, your partner’s, and the shared perspective where both viewpoints can coexist.
Life is a developmental process, and so is any relationship. Counselling can help you nurture and develop a relationship that is worth having. It can enhance your understanding of yourself, healthy communication, and intimacy. It can also help to develop the skills required to improve your responses to one another and can help repair trust, process difficult emotions, and heal trauma.
Experiencing any of the difficulties mentioned above with your partner does not mean your relationship is doomed. In different capacities, I have been working with individuals, couples, and families since 2006. In my practice, I use an integrative approach drawing on Internal Family Systems, Narrative, Solution-Focused, and Cognitive Behavioral therapies. I also have comprehensive training in couples counselling based on Systemic Family Therapy, the Developmental Model, and Gottman’s approach to couples therapy.
