My Approach
When You’re Ready to Take That First Step.
I understand…
On the outside, you’re doing everything you need to, keeping up with work, family, and daily responsibilities but inside, you feel emotionally exhausted, isolated, and disconnected from your partner.
You find yourself thinking…
“Our relationship shouldn’t be this hard,” or
“Nothing I do will ever be enough.”
Feeling unseen, unheard, or shut out can leave you believing you’re the only one trying to make the relationship work. Many people seek relationship counselling because they feel emotionally alone, stuck in communication patterns that go nowhere, or overwhelmed by recurring conflict or silence.
Emotionally, you may be carrying a mix of despair, frustration, and a sense of being trapped. You might find yourself shutting down, withdrawing to keep the peace, or people-pleasing to avoid yet another argument. It can feel like you’re constantly walking on eggshells.
Despite all of this, there is still a part of you longing to feel connected to your partner, to yourself, and to the possibility that emotional closeness and intimacy can return. If you’re in Greenwood and looking for support, relationship counselling can offer a safe space to understand what’s happening and begin to rebuild connection, whether you come alone or as a couple.
My Counselling Approach
In our work together, I focus on the relationship patterns between you and your partner, rather than trying to “fix” either person. Real change happens when we understand how the two of you are interacting, reacting, and influencing each other especially when you’re feeling disconnected, stuck, or caught in communication cycles that go nowhere.
As your relationship counsellor, I don’t take sides. Instead, I slow things down so each of you can feel heard, understood, and grounded. Together, we move away from blame and toward curiosity, compassion, and clarity.
Using research-backed methods, I combine proven approaches such as the Gottman Method, Attachment-based therapy, and mind–body practices. These evidence-informed techniques help you build emotional safety, improve communication, and take practical, manageable steps toward reconnection.
I understand how vulnerable this process can feel. My role is to support you with care, neutrality, and deep respect for your individual experiences whether you’re coming to counselling on your own or as a couple.

Working Together.
When we work together, here’s what begins to shift:
You start to understand each other instead of trying to win.
You stop walking on eggshells and start having honest conversations without fear of making things worse.
You feel safe enough to express what you feel and be met with care, not defensiveness.
You begin to recognize your patterns, learn how to change them and begin to connect in healthier and more secure ways.
You stop feeling like you're the only one holding the relationship together.
