Practice Information

Are you considering divorcing your partner because your trust has been deeply violated? Are you scared of losing your relationship and want to reconnect with your partner? We begin with a process of healing that honours the truth of your experience. Where there is disconnection, we create emotional space to be understood. Where there is a cycle of conflict, we build structure that makes productive conversations possible. Together we work towards a relationship that is honestly repaired or consciously redefined. Individuals navigating anxiety, ADHD, or substance use are also welcome, especially when these affect your relationships.  

I offer Gottman Method Couples Therapy - 90-minute sessions to get in depth with core issues, and to use exercises to interrupt conflict, repair wounds, reconnect, and rebuild intimacy. 

And for those where individual challenges like ADHD or anxiety or substance use are part of the picture, I can go further than most couples therapists -- offering individual formal diagnosis as part of the couples therapy process itself. This is especially helpful when something beneath the surface is important.

For individuals struggling with constant worries that won't quiet down, or a mind that won't stop, even when there's nothing urgent to fix, I offer formal diagnosis to better understand the problem, and practical skills, and mindfulness strategies for living a full life and having the relationships you want.  

My approach is kind, competent, and collaborative. I come prepared for every session, and flexible based on what you need to talk about.  I respond within 24 hours. Ready to start? Call me for a 20 minute consultation or book directly through my website. Sessions are online or in person in Victoria, Monday through Saturday afternoons.  Secure video sessions make it easy to access support from anywhere in British Columbia.
