At the heart of our human experience lies the need for connection. Relationships shape who we are, how we see the world, and how we feel about ourselves. Healthy relationships provide a sense of stability and support. They are a source of comfort in times of stress and a foundation for growth. When we feel secure in our relationships, we are more likely to take risks, pursue our goals, and recover from setbacks.

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a humanistic, evidence-based approach to psychotherapy, drawing primarily from attachment theory to facilitate the creation of secure, vibrant connection with self and others. Rooted in the science of emotions and attachment, EFT helps clients identify and transform the negative processing and interaction patterns that create distress. It’s effective in treating individuals (EFIT), couples (EFCT), and families (EFFT), addressing a wide range of issues, including: relationship distress, lack of connection, communication issues, lack of desire, processing past hurts and rejection, as well as individual anxiety, depression, shame, and the legacy of trauma.

I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and work with relationships of all types (monogamous dyads, CNM relationships, polycules, friends, families colleagues) to create secure bonds within and between. The principles of EFT are therapeutically useful for any relationship where people matter to each other. My personal approach creates an environment where each person feels supported, connected, and understood.

I believe friendships are just as important as romantic partnerships or familial ties. We can learn to create new patterns of mutual self-awareness and affirmation of the other which are key to improving our relational dynamics in all sorts of partnerships, including: business, creative, long-distance, environmental, and ethically challenged partnerships.

My sex-positive approach welcomes clients across the spectrum of sexual orientations and relationship structures. I work with people who identify as straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, asexual, queer, monogamous, and non-monogamous. I am queer-friendly, kink-friendly, and I support people who work in the sex industry.

Relationship Therapy, Couples Counselling, or Couples Therapy are all similar terms that refer to the therapeutic work between partners and a trained relationship therapist, typically with the intention of resolving conflict and strengthening the relationship.
