Find clarity in your relationships.

Counselling for those in demanding careers struggling with romantic relationships.

You’ve built a life that looks stable — maybe even successful.
But under the surface, there’s tension in your closest relationships that keep you up at night, relationships that you feel disconnected from.
I work with people who look fine on the outside, and feel anything but.

Who I work with:

I support individuals in demanding careers make sense of their past and present romantic relationships, and put an end to their doubt and uncertainty. I also help couples reconnect with one another to find what works best for their relationship.

My clients struggle as you do. Despite being confident in other areas of life (be it work/career, friendships, or hobbies), something about dating or long-term partnerships brings a sense of anxiety, fear, and frustration.  

For those heartbroken due to a breakup, they sometimes blame themselves for how and why it ended. “If only I could have done things differently,” “I wasted so much time,” “how do I move on?”

For those who are “hopelessly single,” they wonder if it’s because of their upbringing, or if it’s because they come from divorced parents. They ask themselves if they are overfocusing on their career, if they struggle with commitment, or that their porn addiction is getting out of control. Sometimes, they’re afraid of things actually working out for once.

For my clients who are in relationships, they often ask if it’s really worth it and find themselves hoping and waiting for their partner to change, attached to how things were, or how things could be – “should I stick it out?”
Sometimes they’d even define the relationship as good, but have difficulty trusting it: hyper-focusing on what may be “red flags,” or if they themselves are the red flags; struggling to stay in the present moment because of retroactive jealousy, or fixate on finding reasons as to why the relationship won’t work.

The couples I see struggle to connect. Sometimes it’s how to forgive after an affair or infidelity, or they ask themselves “where did we go wrong?” after constant fights and bickering. Maybe the death of a loved one has rocked the relationship in a way that they don’t know how to move past, or parenting life took over such that their “spark” has become ever-harder to find. Some couples wonder if opening the relationship or exploring non-monogamy is right for them.

Before they came to see me, they wondered whether they’d be able to break out of their relationship patterns, their cycle of conflict avoidance and difficulty with confrontation, or if they’d ever feel happy in relationships again.

We’re wired for connection. Like my clients, you deserve to feel fulfilled in your relationships, and to be in partnership without overwhelming anxiety and worry. Feeling seen, secure, and safe is not out of your reach, and I would love to help you get there.
