Couples relationship therapy is for couples who are experiencing distress in their relationship. I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, a clinically proven and effective process for helping couples alter negative patterns of interaction. This marriage therapy is based on research on adult attachment needs for safe secure relationships.  I provide marriage counselling and couple therapy services to the Richmond Hill, Aurora, Thornhill, North York, and Toronto Areas.

Emotionally Focused Educational Group for Couples

My colleague, Jill and I are trying to determine interest in this program so we can plan where and when to offer it. Please email me if you would like more information.

An 8 session educational program based on the theory and practice of Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. The first session focuses on the new science of love and what it teaches us. The next 7 sessions focus on helping couples shape and use the seven conversations laid out in the book Hold Me Tight. Two experienced therapists will facilitate the group using presentations, video clips and in class exercises. Homework exercises will be offered . Each couple will need to obtain a copy of the book. This is not a therapy group.
