Couples Counselling in Victoria, and Online in BC

Every relationship faces challenges — moments when communication breaks down, or when stress, resentment, or distance begin to take root. Couples counselling provides a safe, supportive space to rebuild connection and learn new ways of relating that feel healthy, respectful, and hopeful.

When Distance Grows Between You

Maybe you and your partner feel like you’re having the same arguments over and over again, or you’ve started to feel more like roommates than teammates. Perhaps you’ve been through a major life change — parenting, loss, infidelity, or transitions — that’s left you feeling disconnected or misunderstood.

Many couples reach out when they notice:

  • Communication that feels tense, defensive, or avoidant

  • Feeling unheard or emotionally distant

  • Repeating patterns of conflict without resolution

  • Navigating transitions like new parenthood or retirement

  • Difficulty rebuilding trust after betrayal

You don’t have to face these challenges alone — therapy offers a space to pause, reflect, and reconnect.

Rediscover Each Other Through Relationship Therapy

In couples therapy, I provide a calm and structured space where both partners can feel seen, heard, and understood. My work draws from Gottman, relational and attachment-based therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, helping couples strengthen communication, repair trust, and nurture emotional safety.

Sessions can take place in person in Victoria or online across BC, moving at a pace that feels safe and collaborative for both partners.

To learn more about the therapeutic methods that support this work, explore the Therapist Toolkit below.

My Therapist Toolkit
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Internal Family Systems (IFS)

Internal Family Systems (IFS) helps you understand and heal the different “parts” within yourself — the protective, reactive, and wounded aspects that shape how you think and feel.
By building compassion and curiosity toward these parts, IFS guides you toward greater self-understanding, harmony, and emotional freedom.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)

This groundbreaking therapy technique helps people heal from the emotional distress of traumatic experiences.

It works by using bilateral stimulation to help the brain reprocess traumatic memories and reduce their emotional impact.

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)
SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions)

SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) empowers parents to help their children manage anxiety by changing their own responses.
Instead of focusing on the child’s symptoms, SPACE teaches caregivers how to reduce accommodations and model calm, supportive confidence — helping kids build resilience and independence over time.

Attachment-Based Therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape the way we connect, trust, and communicate today.
If you’ve ever felt anxious in relationships, struggled with self-worth, or found it hard to rely on others, this approach can help you understand why — and learn to create healthier, more secure patterns.

Somatic Therapy
Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy recognizes that the body carries our life experiences, including shock, trauma, and emotional pain. Through techniques that promote body awareness somatic therapy helps restore the nervous system to a state of healthy self-regulation. 

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a science-backed, goal-oriented therapy that helps people manage anxiety, depression, and stress by changing unhelpful thought patterns. It’s based on the idea that our thoughts influence our emotions and behaviors, meaning that shifting negative thinking can lead to positive changes in how we feel and act.
