Gottman Referral Network

About

Relationships can become painful when communication breaks down, the same conflicts repeat, trust has been damaged, or partners begin to feel more like roommates than a connected couple. You may still care deeply for one another while feeling unsure how to move forward. Couples therapy can provide a structured space to understand what is happening beneath the conflict and create meaningful change together.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and have completed Levels 1, 2, and 3 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I help couples improve communication, manage conflict, rebuild friendship and intimacy, recover from infidelity or betrayal, navigate parenting stress, and reconnect after periods of emotional distance. My approach is compassionate, direct, collaborative, and grounded in research-informed Gottman Method assessment and interventions.

I also bring extensive trauma-focused experience to my couples work. As an EMDR Certified Therapist and EMDRIA Approved Consultant, I understand how trauma, attachment wounds, anxiety, grief, addiction, chronic pain, and emotional triggers can affect the way partners communicate and connect.

I provide individual psychotherapy for anxiety, depression, PTSD, complex trauma, grief, anger, addiction, chronic stress, chronic pain, and difficult life transitions. My own healing journey has shaped my belief that therapy should feel deeply human. Clients deserve to feel respected, understood, and supported—not reduced to a diagnosis or list of symptoms.

Whether your relationship is in crisis, recovering from a painful rupture, or simply no longer feels the way you want it to, you do not have to determine the next step alone. I welcome individuals and couples in North Bay and provide secure virtual psychotherapy across Ontario.
