Welcome!

Congratulations, you have started your journey!  You have taken the brave step of searching for someone to help you along with your path to improved personal wellness and enriched relationships. We are happy to help you along as your guide. Although we have training, knowledge and skills in relationships, YOU are the expert on your lives and experiences. We are here to help you to navigate through inevitable hurdles and challenges along the journey of life.

 Couples counselling is a process. Depending on what kind of journey you are taking, you will gain different skills along the way. For some, it will be a journey of healing, or of growth, or of learning. For most, however, it will involve some degree of all three wellness skills.


A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step (Lao-Tzu)

We work from a systemic and holistic point of view.  Every area of your personal wellness (financial, spiritual, physical, emotional, social, vocational, sexual, and environmental) interacts greatly with your relationship. 

Are you experiencing distress and unhappiness in your relationship?
