Couples Therapy

Stop having the same fight in different clothes

You know something's got to change. The same fight keeps happening, different topics, same underlying hurt. One of you shuts down, the other feels unheard, or you both explode then pretend it never happened.

You love each other, but you're constantly triggered by eachother.

And, you need something deeper than just learning to communicate better. You need an approach that actually heals old wounds at their source, transforming your triggers into doorways for connection and a deeper understanding of one another.

Therapy with Jessica 🌿

I specialize in three core areas of practice:

Couples counselling: for partners who want to communicate more clearly, reconnect emotionally, and feel safer in their relationship

Therapy for creatives, entrepreneurs, and sensitive non-conformists: – especially those navigating burnout, identity tension, or people-pleasing

Perinatal and postpartum therapy – with a focus on fertility struggles, birth trauma, and the emotional shifts of becoming a parent

Whether you’re coming in with deep self-awareness or just beginning to name what feels hard, this is a space where your lived experience is honored, and where real, lasting change becomes possible.

My work is relational, nervous system-informed, and rooted in deep respect for your body, your emotions, and your inner knowing.

There's a Pattern You Both Feel, But Can't Seem to Stop

You might be here if:

  • The same argument keeps resurfacing, just with different topics: dishes, money, sex, but it all feels eerily familiar... One of you shuts down while the other is left feeling unheard, and you're exhausted.

  • Past betrayals, trauma, or family patterns have created walls you can't seem to break through

  • You love each other but can't stop triggering each other

  • You're walking on eggshells, managing your partner's triggers (or they're managing yours)

  • Intimacy feels dangerous, being truly seen feels like too much to risk these days

  • You both avoid bringing up important things because "it's not worth the tension"

  • You feel like roommates who parent really well together

In therapy, you’ll:

  • Finally get to the bottom of why dishes trigger a three-day silent treatment, and actually resolve it

  • Feel safe enough to reach for each other in bed again, without the weight of rejection or pressure

  • Stop the mental gymnastics of "should I say something or let it go?" - you'll just know how to talk

  • Go from parallel scrolling on opposite couch sides to actually wanting to be close

  • Have your partner become the person who helps calm your anxiety, not the one who causes it

  • Navigate family visits without the usual pre-visit fight and post-visit meltdown

  • Stop keeping score of who's hurting more and start healing together

  • Create inside jokes again, laugh during arguments, and remember why you chose each other

What Makes This Work Different

This isn’t just therapy for your thoughts.
This is therapy for your whole self.

My approach is:

  • EMDR: Supporting your brain to reprocess core wounds and triggers alongside your partner

  • Nervous system + trauma attuned: We move at the pace your relationship can safely hold

  • Rooted in respect: You are your own greatest healer, and I am here to guide you towards rememebering that

Meet Jessica

Hi, I'm Jessica, a licensed Canadian therapist specializing in deep couples work. I help partners who want more than just better communication skills, they want to feel genuinely connected again, safe being vulnerable, and free from the exhausting patterns that keep them stuck.

Some couples come to me feeling like roommates who've forgotten how to reach each other. Others are drowning in triggered reactions they can't control. All of them want to feel chosen and cherished, to find their way back to easy laughter, and to build a love that can hold all of who they are, trauma, messiness, and all.

My innovative approach combines Emotionally Focused Therapy with EMDR in a way that creates profound shifts quickly.

You won't just understand why you're stuck, you'll actually get unstuck. Because here's what I believe:

Your relationship isn't broken. It's asking to be deepened.

I currently offer virtual individual therapy and couples counselling for residents of:
