Couples Counselling

Couples Therapy in Squamish & Online

Every relationship has moments of disconnection, tension, or change. Whether you’re navigating conflict, rebuilding trust, or simply wanting to feel more connected, couples therapy offers a space to slow down and better understand each other.

I work with couples who want to move beyond old patterns and create a more secure, fulfilling relationship. In sessions, we focus on deepening emotional connection, improving communication, and understanding how your past experiences may be showing up in your relationship today.

How I Support Couples

  • Improve communication and reduce conflict

  • Rebuild trust and emotional safety

  • Understand and shift repeating patterns

  • Explore how early attachment experiences shape how you relate

  • Strengthen connection, intimacy, and emotional resilience

My Approach: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

I take a grounded, compassionate, and attachment-based approach, drawing from Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)—a leading evidence-based model for couples counselling. EFT helps partners identify and step out of painful cycles (like pursuing and withdrawing, blaming and defending, or shutting down).

Instead of just learning “communication skills,” EFT gets to the heart of what’s happening: the emotions and needs underneath conflict. We work together to understand how each of you responds to stress, how you reach for connection, and what gets in the way of feeling safe with each other. From there, we practice new ways of relating—so both partners feel more secure, seen, and understood.

Research shows that EFT not only reduces conflict but also strengthens emotional bonds, helping couples create lasting, resilient connections.

Sessions combine guided conversation, experiential exercises, and practical tools. You’ll leave with more clarity about your relationship dynamics and concrete ways to reconnect.

What is EFT?

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is one of the most effective, research-backed approaches to couples counselling. It’s based on attachment science—the idea that we all need secure emotional bonds in our closest relationships.

EFT helps couples:

  • Recognize negative cycles (like blaming, withdrawing, or chasing) that keep you stuck

  • Understand the deeper emotions and needs driving conflict

  • Create new ways of reaching for each other that build safety and closeness

  • Strengthen trust and intimacy for a more secure relationship

Rather than just teaching “communication skills,” EFT helps you and your partner feel more connected, safe, and understood—so you can communicate with greater ease and care.

Is Couples Therapy Right for You?

Couples therapy can be helpful if:

  • You’re feeling disconnected or stuck in communication loops

  • You’ve been through a major life change or stressor

  • Trust has been broken and you're not sure how to move forward

  • You want to strengthen your connection and understanding of each other

  • You’re navigating the end of a relationship with care and intention
