"The company."

Couple's Therapy for Adults
Relationship Counselling
Healthy relationships are essential for our well-being. John and Julie Gottman found that the "masters of relationships" do the following things: Know each other's inner world, share fondness and admiration and turn towards each other's attempts for connection often. They navigate conflict effectively by shifting the focus to trying to understand each other's perspective, compromising and self-soothing when needed. Lastly, they support each other in their individual life dreams and share values and goals for the future. Being Level 1 and 2 trained in the Gottman Method for couples therapy, I can help you work on each of these to move towards becoming one of the "masters of relationships." I can help guide you towards healing past emotional wounds or betrayals, as well, finally addressing those conflicts that come up "again and again."
