Couples Counselling
As a couples therapist, I take a directive, collaborative, and attachment-based approach, believing in the healing power of relationships. My goal is to help couples build a secure functioning partnership where both partners feel safe, seen, and understood. I use a variety of approaches, including the Relationship Theory Model (RTM), PACT, EFT, RLT, Gottman, and Imago, to create lasting change.
The basis of my couples approach is rooted in RTM which was created by Jourdan Blue and is a research backed process rooted in both Attachment Theory and Neuroplasticity. RTM is results-driven and is focused onproviding clients with the clarity and tools they need to create change and move towards their goals quickly. This approach involves an immersive rewiring process that involves a lot of hands-on teaching, real tools, and active support in sessions so that you leave each session with a huge aha moment and a plan for building momentum outside of sessions. It is NOT a passive therapy approach — it is about creating deep change, not cheap change!
I focus on guiding couples in breaking unhelpful patterns and getting to the root issues. My style is direct and challenging because I’m committed to helping you achieve deep, meaningful change, not just surface-level fixes. I want my couples to make significant shifts quickly, fostering co-created structures of care and collaboration. Beyond relationship dynamics, I address related issues like anxiety, boundaries, self-esteem, shame, and trauma. I believe strong relationships are the foundation for success in all areas of life, from career to health. With 80% of relationships failing, I’m passionate about helping couples join the top 20% who thrive.
With all that said, my ideal couples clients are those with a growth mindset who are ready to make active, transformative changes in their relationship and life. Couples therapy is an investment, but how much would you spend to create the best relationship possible that is sustainable in your growth together. Although we will go from session to session, there are 6 core sessions that I work through with couples to really kickstart your new optimal relationship and leave therapy feelings like you have really gotten something from the work together.
