Are you feeling unfulfilled in your marriage or relationship?
Has your once-loving connection turned into conflict, distance, or resentment? Many couples find themselves feeling disappointed, unheard, or overwhelmed by arguments that never seem to resolve. The passion may feel lost, and your partner, once your closest ally, might now seem controlling, critical, disappointed, or emotionally absent. You may be wondering how things got here, and whether your relationship can be saved.
Or maybe you are struggling as a parent.
Raising a child in today is fast-paced, digital world can feel exhausting. Perhaps your child is anxious, angry, withdrawn, or glued to screens. Maybe you are seeing behaviour you do not recognize like defiance, impulsiveness, or falling grades. You have tried many thing, but nothing seems to work. You are feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and unsure where to turn next.
If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Many couples and families face these struggles. Support is available. As a registered clinical counsellor in Burnaby, I’ve helped many people navigate relationship and parenting challenges. I also understand the emotional toll firsthand, as someone who has walked a similar path. There is hope. Things can get better.
How counselling can help
You and your loved ones have a unique story. Whether you are seeking couples counselling, marriage therapy, or family counselling, I’ll work with you to identify what’s happening in your relationships—and what’s getting in the way. Together, we’ll:
Address core issues like communication, conflict, trust, intimacy, or parenting differences
Uncover the emotional patterns and beliefs that keep you stuck
Develop practical tools to rebuild connection and improve emotional safety
Strengthen your ability to understand and support each other
If you are seeking help as a parent, we will also focus on understanding your child’s behaviour, improving communication, and fostering emotional resilience and a sense of security in your child.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based therapy models, including family systems and attachment theory.
What if my partner or child won’t come?
That is okay. While it is ideal for everyone to be involved, counselling can still be effective even if only one person is ready to begin. Change in a relationship often starts when one person takes a new step, gains insight, or learns new tools.
If your partner is not ready to join, or if your child is unwilling or unable to attend, we can still explore what is happening in your relationship or family dynamics. We can work together to help you understand your situation more clearly, develop new strategies, and build emotional strength so that you feel more confident in how you relate to the people around you.
You don’t need to wait for others to be ready before taking care of yourself. Reach out to me, and we will talk about how to move forward starting from where you are.
