Virtual couples therapy for people in BC and Ontario
No matter where you are in your relationship, I’m here to help you both feel heard, respected, and valued.
There is no right way to have a relationship, and there is no right way to do couples therapy
I won’t sugarcoat it. Couples therapy is hard. It takes vulnerability, risk, and courage. I approach my work with couples with all of this in mind, from a place of respect for your choices and honouring your relationship.
Couples therapy is for any couple who has been together any amount of time
It’s not only for long-term married couples on the brink of divorce, though it certainly can be. The techniques and perspectives that are a good fit for you depend on your strengths, your reason for seeking support, where you are stuck, and your preferences.
Maybe you are…
Brand new and want to instill a balanced foundation
Navigating big changes and considering next steps
Wanting to learn how to reconnect, repair, and love differently
Feeling stuck in the same loop and the same fight over and over
Seeking clarity around what you want from your relationship
Considering decoupling
Experiencing infidelity
Opening up or closing your relationship
Looking for more connection and closeness
Experiencing a lot of fighting, anger, or resentment
Feeling like you’ve become too blended
A healthy relationship is a balanced relationship
I believe that we have chosen our partners for a reason. If we are living intimately, they should challenge us to grow past our stuck points. But rather than focusing on who is right about what, I want to help you both respond to each other relationally and proactively.
My goal is to help you build on what you have while finding your balance in love, partnership, and romance. I support you in slowing down and stepping out of the cycle that is not serving you as a couple. I take a fluid, integrative approach because there is no one-size-fits-all intervention that will “cure” the problem.
“Boundaries are the distance at which I can love you and me simultaneously.” - Prentis Hemphill

I am registered with BCACC as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and with the CRPO as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) (RP Qualifying). I recommend checking with your insurance provider to ensure that you are covered, but I should be if your coverage includes RCC or RP (Qualifying) designations.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Sessions are held on a secure, encrypted online platform.
-
Yes. We will ensure to keep the session appropriate for young ears. You will get more from the process if you are able to carve out some alone time though.
-
Yes, couples therapy for separated couples or divorcing couples can be a very supportive place for the couple to process the end of the relationship and to explore what their new relationship will look like.
-
No, this is one of the benefits of online therapy. You can attend from anywhere!
-
Although I recommend honesty around infidelity for many, client sessions are confidential. This means that I will not share what is shared with me in a one-on-one or couples session without permission, as long as it does not reach a *limit of confidentiality.
Limits of confidentiality: If I am worried about the psychological or physical wellbeing of a minor or a vulnerable adult; worried you are going to engage in serious harm to yourself or someone else; an officer of the court requests my notes.
