Relationship Counselling in Vancouver, BC
"Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always one more time." - Maya Angelou
I offer affirmative relationship counselling for people of all genders and sexualities, and I welcome diverse relationship structures—including monogamous relationships, open relationships, polyamory, and consensual non-monogamy.
Relationships can be a source of deep connection, safety, and growth—and also a place where old wounds, stress, and painful cycles surface. Couples and family therapy offers a structured space to slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the conflict, and rebuild trust, communication, and emotional connection.
My approach is relational, engaged, and direct. I am an active therapist in the room. I help you identify patterns that keep you stuck, clarify what each person is needing, and support you in having conversations that feel difficult to navigate on your own—without turning therapy into a courtroom about who is right and who is wrong.
What We Work On in Couples & Family Therapy
In therapy, we will focus on:
Understanding recurring conflict cycles and communication patterns
Identifying relationship needs, attachment needs, and emotional triggers
Strengthening communication skills and compassionate listening
Repairing after ruptures and rebuilding trust
Creating healthier boundaries and agreements
Supporting intimacy, emotional closeness, and sexual wellbeing
Bridging differences in values, culture, family expectations, or identity
Navigating life transitions (parenting, immigration, career changes, illness, grief)
My goal is to help you “make sense” of what is happening between you—and to build practical tools to create change, not just insight.
Inclusive and Affirming Relationship Counselling

Queer, trans, non-binary, or gender diverse
In interracial, intercultural, or interfaith relationships
Exploring consensual non-monogamy, polyamory, or open relationship agreements
Navigating family dynamics related to identity, coming out, or transition
Wanting therapy that is non-pathologizing and respectful of lived experience
