Relationships can be deeply meaningful, but also painful, confusing, & exhausting at times
Couples therapy can offer a supportive space to slow down, make sense of what’s been difficult to verbalize, and begin building more fulfilling ways of communicating and connecting.

What Couples Therapy With Me Looks Like
Couples therapy with me is collaborative and tailored to the unique needs, preferences, and dynamics of your relationship. I strive to create a space where all partners feel respected, heard, supported, and able to show up authentically without fear of judgment.
Grounded in Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFCT), my approach focuses on untangling what may be contributing to conflict or disconnection while supporting partners in developing more understanding and supportive ways of responding to one another.
Therapy may involve slowing down difficult interactions, exploring recurring cycles and wounds, strengthening emotional connection and communication, and developing greater clarity around what each partner may need moving forward.

Sliding Scale
A limited number of sliding scale spots are available for those without insurance, students, or anyone experiencing financial strain.
Please contact me for availability and more information.
Finances
Most psychotherapy services are covered through insurance providers. Please confirm with your provider to ensure “psychotherapy” or “counselling” is covered for you.
At this time, I provide direct billing for customers of GreenShield Insurance. For others, a receipt will be sent within 24 hours after your session that can be submitted to your insurance provider. If needed, my clinical supervisor can be provided on receipts.
