Couples Therapy

Looking for couples therapy in North York or Toronto? If you and your partner are growing apart, stuck in the same fights, or struggling to find your way back to each other, I can help.

I work with couples navigating relationship breakdown, communication difficulties, infidelity, and the slow erosion of connection. If you join me for couples therapy, we will be setting on a journey that will give you new, effective ways of expressing your needs and desires, heal the injuries of the past, and intensify your connection.

The Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) model I follow has one of the highest clinically-proven success rates in couples therapy. EFT goes beyond communication strategies to the deeper emotional and relational roots of what’s getting in the way. I stay closely with your emotions and help you and your partner understand the feelings that arise and those that don’t in the session. Understanding brings down levels of tension and opens the door to more caring interactions, compassion, and love.

My training in the psychodynamic and psychoanalytic modality, combined with extended learning on trauma, is incorporated into every session. This means we work not just on what is happening between you, but why and what it will actually take to change it.

Couples come to me at many different points: early in a pattern they want to interrupt, in the middle of a crisis, or at a crossroads about the future of the relationship. Wherever you are, real change is possible.

If you want to understand more about what gets in the way of connection, I write about relationships and couples work on my blog. Recent posts explore why listening to each other is harder than we think and how to heal after a breakup.

Sessions available in-person in North York near Yonge and Sheppard, and virtually across Ontario. Contact me for a free 20-minute consultation.
