💞 Couples Counselling in Sudbury, Collingwood & Online Across Ontario
Rebuild trust. Communicate clearly. Reignite your connection.
Every relationship faces moments of disconnection. You love each other, yet you may find yourselves stuck in repeating patterns — the same arguments, the silent distance, or the unspoken resentments.
This isn’t about taking sides. Both of you are having your own experience in the same relationship, shaped by unconscious patterns, old triggers, and unmet needs. When we expect our partner to just know what we need, we end up disappointed, frustrated, and disconnected.
That’s where I come in. I help couples uncover and shift the unconscious patterns that drive conflict, rebuild intimacy after trust has been broken, and learn how to communicate in ways that bring you closer instead of pushing you apart. Together, you’ll not only heal — you’ll build a stronger relationship than you’ve ever had.
You can choose to work with me through:
Pre-Marital & Marriage Counselling: 10–14 private sessions over 6-8 weeks (in Collingwood, Sudbury, or online)
Private Couples Retreats: One couple per weekend, held at luxury resorts across Ontario learn more here
Whether you’re healing from infidelity, struggling with emotional distance, carrying resentment, or simply feeling stuck, there is a path forward. And if you’re starting fresh — preparing for marriage or recovering from a toxic past — this work will give you the tools to create the relationship you truly want.
Does This Sound Like You?
“We don’t talk—we argue, avoid, or shut down.”
“There’s no affection, and everything feels like a battle.”
“I love them, but I’m not in love anymore.”
“We’re running a household or business… not a relationship.”
“Something happened—an affair, a betrayal—and we don’t know how to move forward.”
If any of this feels familiar, you’re not alone. Many couples reach this point — stuck in repeating patterns, feeling more like roommates or business partners than partners in love.
But here’s the good news: these patterns aren’t permanent. They’re rooted in the unconscious mind — the part of you that runs your reactions, your triggers, and even your ability to connect. Once you learn how to shift those patterns, you can rebuild trust, reignite intimacy, and realign your relationship on a stronger foundation than before.
Who I Work With
This work isn’t just for couples “in crisis.” It’s for anyone who wants to deepen connection, improve communication, or reset the foundation of their relationship. I support:
Entrepreneurial couples balancing love and business
Singles healing from toxic or past relationships
Couples considering separation but wanting clarity before making a decision
Empty nesters rediscovering each other after raising children
Family business partners where work and love collide
Dating couples wanting to build healthy habits early
Partners rebuilding after an affair or betrayal
Pre-marital and married couples preparing for the next chapter
Retired couples navigating new rhythms and roles
The truth is, every stage of a relationship brings new challenges. The key to a thriving partnership is learning how to understand yourselves — and each other — at a deeper level. That means adapting your behaviours and strategies to meet life’s constant changes.
When these differences aren’t understood, couples often clash over values, boundaries, and triggers, leaving both partners hurt, angry, or resentful. Together, we can break these cycles and create new ways of relating that bring you closer instead of tearing you apart.

Initial Consultation: $275 + HST (45–60 minutes)
Ongoing Sessions: $275 + HST each
Most couples complete 10–14 sessions over 6–10 weeks
Available in Collingwood, Sudbury, or online across Ontario
Weekly sessions are ideal if you want steady support, time to integrate new tools between sessions, and the accountability of a structured process.
Why Choose a Retreat?
While weekly counselling is powerful, a retreat offers something completely different: immersion. Instead of spreading sessions across months, you get concentrated, uninterrupted time together — a reset for your relationship.
Faster results → four days of focused work can achieve what might take months in weekly sessions
Deeper breakthroughs → without daily distractions, you can finally get to the root of patterns and create lasting change
Space to reconnect → a new environment allows you to step outside the routine and see each other with fresh perspective
Tools for the future → you’ll leave not just with healing, but with strategies you can use every day
A retreat isn’t just time away — it’s an investment in rebuilding trust, reigniting intimacy, and realigning your relationship for the long term.
