Couples Therapy

All relationships hit snags — the goal isn’t perfection, it’s connection.

Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure where things stand, couples therapy can help you untangle what’s not working and find your way back to each other.

Let’s start with a conversation.

Services I Offer

I offer 50-minute sessions ($185) and 75-minute sessions ($225), both online and in-person in Toronto’s West End (Roncesvalles). Evening and weekend appointments are available to accommodate busy schedules.

I also provide sliding scale spots if cost is a concern and insurance receipts for Registered Psychotherapist coverage.

In therapy we might…

  • Zoom in on a recurring fight to see what’s really going on underneath

  • Practice having harder conversations in a way that actually feels productive

  • Map out what support and connection look like for each of you

  • Repair old hurts and rebuild emotional (or physical) intimacy

My Approach

Whether you're building something new, feeling stuck in an old pattern, or not sure what the future holds, you're welcome here. I work with couples navigating all kinds of dynamics — queer and straight, monogamous and non-monogamous, just getting started or decades in. What matters most is that you're both showing up, hoping for something to feel different.

This is a space to slow down, get curious, and actually hear each other. Together, we’ll sort through the tough stuff and get clearer on what connection, safety, and support look like for you — as individuals and as a team.

I draw from:

  • The Gottman Method, for concrete tools that help you communicate more clearly, handle conflict better, and build back trust.

  • Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), for getting to the heart of your dynamic — the deeper emotions, attachment needs, and patterns underneath the surface.

Sessions are available online or in-person in Toronto’s West End (Roncesvalles).

What can couples therapy help with?

Couples therapy isn’t just for when things are falling apart — it’s for anyone who wants to feel more connected, understood, and supported in their relationship.

Some of the things we might work on together:

  • Improved communication (instead of going in circles or turning into fights)

  • Feeling more emotionally connected and less like roommates

  • Navigating mismatched needs around intimacy, sex, or time together

  • Processing a betrayal or rebuilding trust

  • Managing conflict in ways that feel respectful (even if it’s still hard)

  • Parenting stress, life transitions, or big decisions

  • Exploring dynamics of non-monogamy

  • Figuring out if this relationship still works for both of you

Wherever you’re at — stuck, unsure, hopeful, hurting — therapy can be a space to slow down, tune in, and start to move forward with more clarity and care.

A note on discernment counselling

Not sure if you both want to stay in the relationship? I also offer discernment counseling — a short-term, structured process designed for couples on the brink of separation who need clarity about what’s next. It’s not couples therapy in the traditional sense, but a space to pause, reflect, and decide: Do we want to try working on this, or are we moving toward a respectful ending?

FAQs

  • I work with many types of couples — queer and straight, monogamous and non-monogamous, brand new or long-established. If you're both willing to show up and be curious about what’s happening between you, you're in the right place.

  • Couples come in for all sorts of reasons: communication issues, feeling disconnected, navigating big transitions (like kids or moves), recovering from breaches of trust, exploring non-monogamy, or even figuring out whether to stay together. It’s all welcome here.

  • I use evidence-based models like EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) and the Gottman Method. That means we’ll focus on strengthening emotional connection, understanding your patterns, and building skills that actually help — not just talking in circles.

  • That’s okay. I also offer discernment counseling — a short-term process for couples on the brink of separation who want clarity before making big decisions. It’s not about fixing things quickly; it’s about slowing down and understanding what each person really wants.

  • There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. Some couples come for a few sessions to tune things up, others stick around longer to work through deeper patterns. We'll check in regularly about how things are going and what feels helpful.

  • Couples sessions are typically 50 minutes, though longer sessions (75–minutes) can be helpful, especially at the beginning. Most couples start weekly or biweekly — we’ll find a rhythm that fits your life and what you're working on.

  • Sessions are billed after each appointment. I provide receipts you can submit to your insurance provider if your plan covers therapy with a Registered Psychotherapist. I accept credit cards via an online payment system.

  • Often, yes — many extended health plans cover therapy with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP). It’s a good idea to check your plan for the details. I’m happy to answer any questions if you're unsure what to look for.
