Relationship Therapy for Individuals in Vancouver
This work is for individuals who want to understand how relational patterns shape their experiences across romantic, friendship, Familial and work relationships.
If the same difficulties keep showing up—despite your effort—therapy can help uncover what’s underneath and create lasting change.
Understanding and Changing Relational Patterns
You Don’t Need to Be in a Relationship to Do Relationship Therapy
Many clients begin this work:
While dating
Between relationships
During transitions or separation and departures
Relationship therapy focuses on how you relate, not just who you’re relating to.
Some people come to relationship therapy because they clearly see familiar patterns repeating across relationships. Others come because a current relationship feels stressful, confusing, or emotionally charged—even if this feels new or unlike past experiences.
Both are valid starting points.
Relationship therapy helps clarify whether what you’re experiencing is:
A situational challenge tied to a specific relationship or life stage
An emotional pattern that tends to emerge in close relationships
Or a combination of both
When Relationship Difficulties Feel Confusing or Hard to Place
A Depth-Oriented Approach to Relationship Therapy
My approach integrates psychodynamic therapy with emotionally focused work.
Together, we explore:
How early attachment experiences influence current relationships
How your sense of self worth and safety in relationships is tied to early experiences
Emotional needs that drive conflict, withdrawal, or over-functioning
Unconscious relational patterns that repeat across contexts
How emotional safety, trust, and boundaries develop over time
This approach allows change at the level where relationships actually shift—not just temporarily improve.

Evidence based and trauma informed psychodynamic psychotherapy
Your hearts know in silence the secrets of the days and the nights.
But your ears thirst for the sound of your heart's knowledge.
You would know in words that which you have always known in thought.
You would touch with your fingers the naked body of your dreams.
(Khalil Gibran)
