About

Relationships can become painful when couples feel stuck in the same conflicts, struggle to communicate, or no longer feel close. Conversations can turn into arguments, defensiveness, silence, or distance. I help couples understand the patterns keeping them stuck and learn practical ways to communicate, repair hurts, and reconnect.

I have particular experience helping couples navigate affairs, infidelity, and betrayal. The hurt partner may be searching for answers and struggling to know what is true, while the involved partner may not know how to repair the damage or rebuild trust. Using a structured, research-based approach, I help couples work through betrayal, have difficult conversations more safely, and begin rebuilding trust and connection.

I am a Registered Psychologist and Certified Gottman Therapist and have been in practice since 2010. Using the Gottman Method, I help couples improve communication, manage recurring conflict, deepen friendship and intimacy, and develop healthier ways of responding to one another.

Couples therapy in my practice is active and practical. I assess the strengths and challenges within the relationship so treatment can be tailored to each couple. Couples learn concrete strategies and use structured tools and exercises that take some of the pressure off simply trying to “communicate better.”

The goal is not to eliminate disagreement. It is to help couples talk about difficult things without becoming enemies in the process, understand each other more deeply, repair when things go wrong, and create a relationship that feels safer and more connected.

I am also the host of Relationship Psych – The Podcast and a contributing author to Counselling Insights: Practical Strategies for Helping Others with Anxiety, Trauma, Grief, and More. I have facilitated more than 150 professional presentations on couples conflict, attachment, trauma, mental health, and addiction.
