Real-life relationships begin where movie scripts end. In real life, without intention and knowledgeable dedication, the true potential of love and connection stays unfulfilled. Unattended love fades—and without adequate intervention, it can be lost.

Every relationship experiences bumps along the way. Unchecked, the minutiae of everyday life get in the way. Life circumstances pile on. Navigating the stress of new beginnings and endings, work, grief, and family life is challenging for couples. Our response to everyday stressors can exacerbate underlying rifts in the relationship. Partners can be caught unprepared and buttons get pushed in quick succession.

As your couples therapist, I will be in your corner to guide you in building—or rebuilding—a happy, healthy relationship.

With a mindset of taking responsibility, you will discover that it does not always take a massive effort, grand gestures, or years of excavating your psyche to make a real difference in the relationship.

Let’s develop a real-life relationship script you will delight in living.

My approach to couples therapy is evidence-based and practical. After our sessions, you will gain easy-to-grasp insights and practical steps that are simple to put into action. In a relationship, it’s the little things that count the most—and they add up. Before you know it, your small, regular investments of time and knowledgeable action will have made a tremendous difference in your lives as individuals and as a couple.

Couples Reconnect, a branch of Calgary Reconnect Counselling Group, acknowledges that we are gathered on Treaty 7 territory, the original home of the Blackfoot Confederacy, comprised of the Siksika, Piikani, and Kanai First Nations; the Stoney Nakoda, comprised of the Chiniki, Wesley, and Bearspaw First Nations; and the Tsuut’ina First Nation.  This territory is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3 within the historical Northwest Métis homeland. Located on this traditional territory, our mission is to spark reconnection and healing within kids, parents, and families. We do this work with respect for these First Nations and in a spirit of humility, kindness, inclusion, and diversity.
