Let's be real

Things haven’t felt right with your partner—whether it’s unspoken tension, growing disconnection, or the same repetitive arguments playing out again and again.













You didn't land on this page by accident—you’ve probably been thinking about getting help for your relationship for longer than you care to admit.

You don’t have to keep feeling this stuck. Your love story should be a happy one!

Conversations often turn into misunderstandings or arguments, leaving you both frustrated and unheard.

Small frustrations build up over time, creating resentment and distance in your relationship.

You feel more like roommates than lovers and long to bring back the connection and intimacy.

Trust has been broken—whether from betrayal or infidelity—and you're ready to heal and rebuild.

You're navigating the challenges of new parenthood and need support in sharing responsibilities.

You're struggling to get your needs met and find common ground on what matters most.















Couples Therapy Is Right for You If…

Imagine feeling truly understood, supported, and connected in your relationship.

Right now, every conversation might turn into an argument or feel like it’s going nowhere—but things can change.

That’s why I do things differently.

 Couples counselling with me isn’t just about the problem of the week—it’s about real progress. I use evidence-based approaches that go beyond finger-pointing, combining skill-building and mediation to help you break free from repeating conflicts and communication that falls flat.

You’ll learn proven strategies to communicate clearly, repair trust, and navigate challenges productively, so you don’t keep having the same unproductive conversations at home—or avoiding them altogether.  Instead of taking sides, I guide you toward real solutions that help you reconnect and feel like a team again.

“We have greater confidence in discussing the things that really matter in our relationship.”

It made us reflect on our styles of communication, and brought about helpful discussions to improve our relationship. It gave us great tips to repair from our blips and move on from them more easily. It even brought on some laughs. By better understanding our differences, we were able to work through them. Thank you Alexa for planting the seeds for a closer connection
