Couples Therapy in British Columbia

See How I Work

You talk, apologize, take space, move on, and try again — but nothing really changes.

You want to feel close again, but keep getting pulled into conflict, distance, or shutdown.

You keep having the same fight.

Sound familiar?

This is where we change what happens next.

I combine the structure of the Gottman Method with a deep understanding of trauma, attachment, emotional regulation, and the personal, family, and cultural histories that shape how you respond to each other.

I won’t sit quietly while you repeat the same fight you have at home. I step in, slow things down, and help you see what is really happening between you.

We do not just talk about what keeps going wrong between you. We practise new ways of responding right there in the room, so change does not stay theoretical.

Couples Therapy Should Change What Happens Between You

The Gottman Difference

Different relationships need different   kinds of support

Some couples benefit from steady weekly work. Others need a more immersive or higher-support format, especially when conflict is frequent, trust has been seriously damaged, or stability is difficult to regain between appointments. The assessment process helps confirm the right level of support.

Couples Therapy Is Not Just About Calmer Conversations

Knowing what to say is not the same as being able to say it when it matters.

We’ll work on:

Slowing down conflict before it takes over

Repairing more quickly after difficult moments

Having hard conversations with more honesty and less defensiveness


Feeling understood, supported, and on the same team again


Rebuilding trust, emotional safety, and connection


Creating a clearer path forward for the relationship


Are We a Good Fit?

We’re likely a good fit if:

You want therapy that is direct, compassionate, structured, and focused on change.
You are willing to look at what each of you contributes to the relationship.

You want to feel more connected, not just like co-parents, roommates, or business partners.

You want to understand what is driving the conflict, not just find a temporary way to stop it.

We’re likely not a good fit if:

You are looking for someone to fix your partner without looking at your own role.

One or both partners are not willing to participate honestly in the work.

There is ongoing abuse, coercive control, or an affair one partner has no intention of ending.  

An untreated addiction or serious mental health concern requires more immediate or specialized support first.

What Working Together Looks Like

View Current AvailabilityWhat to Know Before Booking

Check my Jane booking page for current availability. Book a consultation or initial 75-minute couples session and indicate whether you are interested in weekly, marathon, or concierge therapy. If seeking weekly therapy, reserve four follow-up sessions to secure consistent space in my schedule.

Step 1: Connect

The structured assessment includes an initial joint session, individual sessions with each partner, and the Gottman Relationship Checkup. This helps us understand your relationship and the support you need.

Step 2: Explore

We meet together to review the findings, clarify your goals, and develop a treatment plan. Together, we confirm or adjust the format—weekly, marathon, concierge, individual sessions that support the couples work, or a combination.

Step 3: Plan

We focus on the goals and priorities identified through the assessment, helping meaningful changes carry into everyday life. As the work progresses, we reassess your needs and adjust the plan or format as needed.

Step 4: Heal

Questions?

Can we book one session to see if we want to continue?

It makes sense to want to know whether the fit feels right. Couples therapy, however, is not typically a one-session consultation. It works best when there is enough consistency to complete the assessment and begin the work.

How many sessions should we expect?

Weekly sessions are billed individually, with no package or upfront commitment. Although every relationship is different, many couples who experience meaningful change attend at least 12 sessions.

Couples with focused concerns may notice progress sooner. Longer histories of conflict, betrayal, repeated injuries, or disconnection often require more time and consistency.

Because my schedule may be booked several weeks ahead, I recommend reserving 4 appointments in advance to avoid gaps in the work.

Marathon therapy typically involves two to four extended therapy blocks, depending on your goals and the complexity of the concerns.


What if one of us is more ready for therapy than the other?

This is common. Couples therapy can still be helpful when one partner feels more ready, as long as both are willing to participate.

It may not be the right fit when one or both partners have already decided to separate or are unable to engage in the process. In these situations, individual or discernment therapy may be more appropriate. I do not provide discernment therapy.


Can couples therapy help after betrayal or broken trust?

Yes. This work requires care, structure, honesty, and accountability. The goal is not to rush forgiveness or pressure either partner to move on, but to understand what happened, support meaningful conversations, and determine what the relationship needs to move forward.



Your relationship deserves more than “everything’s fine.”
