Marriage & Couples Counselling in Burlington + Virtual Across Ontario
When your relationship feels stuck, something has to change. When infidelity has destroyed your trust.
You’re fighting about the same things. You’re disconnected and feeling alone. Maybe trust has been broken. Maybe you’re wondering whether your marriage can even be saved.
I help couples understand what’s keeping them stuck — and learn how to relate to each other differently. I am highly trained in helping couples through the devastating impact of infidelity and broken trust.
Feeling hurt, angry and overwhelmed.
When there are so many resentments, hurts and loneliness in the marriage, you need help getting out of the mess to steer both of you to harmony and compassion.
Tired of living like roommates.
No more spark. No more connection. All you do is talk about chores, parenting and nothing much more than that. You want a partner to share dreams with, to celebrate life with.
“I specialize in sensitive and complex issues facing couples such as infidelity and destructive communication. I dig deeper into the issues so couples can understand why things are happening. With over a dozen years experience, most of them working strictly with couples, I help couples get unstuck.”
There are 4 things I do differently from most couples therapists that have been proven time and time again to help get couples unstuck.
No Therapy Lingo. Normal conversations without all the fluff.
Take Sides When Needed. I don’t believe every relationship problem is fifty fifty. When one partner is clearly contributing more to the problem, I will say so.
Direct & Honest. No hiding behind therapy text books. Direct, no-nonsense approach.
Accountability. We don’t just talk about the problem — we work on changing it. And in part we do this with specific goal-oriented homework.
Cut the crap and reconnect for real.
Couples counselling Burlington helps couples repair trust, rebuild connection and stop destructive conflict.
Couples come here when things feel really stuck.

Infidelity Recovery
Probably one of the most hurtful experiences for a partner to go through is finding out that the person they love has cheated on them. Infidelity Repair is a step by step process in helping couples take ownership and repair from the hurt caused by infidelity. Couples can learn to trust again.
Communication Repair
When poor communication goes on for so long it becomes the new norm. And breaking that cycle can be difficult. Through strategic communication techniques that will be taught and practiced in therapy couples can learn a new way of sharing, hearing and validating each other.
Discernment Counselling
Sometimes couples may be at a crossroad. Should we keep trying? Should we just call it a day and end the marriage? Couples often find themselves unsure of what the “right” answer is. In Discernment Counselling we have a structured, time-limited process that helps couples find the answers through deep conversations and exploration.
Couples Intensives
When coming in week after week is just not going to work for you, couples can participate in Intensives. These are longer sessions, at least 3 hours, which allows therapy to go deeper quicker. One 3-hr session can be equal to 2 months of therapy.
All counselling services including intensives, discernment counselling, weekly counselling are available both in-person + virtual.
