Choosing Couple Therapy and Individual Therapy

Getting Started

Emotion Focused Couple Therapists work with individuals, couples, and families as they deal with the  stress in their lives. The counselling relationship is critical for success when working with individuals or couples. As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist , I will provide an initial consultation free of charge.  During this time you can ask me questions to determine your level of  comfort. Your connection with me is vital to the  therapy process and is open to ongoing discussion as you engage in therapy. 


I will also provide information on fees, the therapy process, therapy options and an overview of your therapy agreement, which should  be signed as you begin therapy.

Couples Therapy

Partners experiencing distress in their relationship may benefit from working with a couples counselor. 


I am an emotionally focused couple counselor providing  marriage counselling and couple therapy services via Online counselling to clients throughout Ontario and Nova Scotia.

What is a healthy marriage?

Many people wonder what is a healthy marriage? Emotionally  Focused Therapy can help couples develop and sustain a healthy bond. Take some time to watch the video clip below.  Sue Johnson, developer of Emotionally Focused Therapy  for Couples and author of best selling books on couples relationships, discusses how to tell if your relationship is in distress. At times choosing couple therapy is the help necessary for some couples to create a secure and loving bond. 

Couple Distress and Emotionally Focused Therapy Explained

How can I tell if my marriage is in trouble, and what can I do to prevent breakup?

Individual Therapy

 Often at the core of depression, anxiety, substance abuse and/or addictions are personal challenges.   


These  change points are frequently tied to emotions that are difficult to  manage. Getting support with emotional challenges can make the  difference between just "getting through" something difficult and  growing stronger through something difficult.   


I provide online counselling services to individuals throughout Ontario and Nova Scotia. I begin by thoroughly understanding  your attachment history, as well as how you were supported  (or not) through difficult challenges in your past.  

This article by Sue Johnson helps explain the basis of EFT for individuals. Though written for therapists, it provides a general overview of how EFIT works in practice. This article explains how EFT creates a secure understanding of what previously had been emotionally shut down, dismissed or unacknowledged within the individual. Successful EFT creates a new awareness of one's needs and a secure connection with self and others so that you can feel alive and freed from rigid patterns that controlled your life.
