Relationship & Interpersonal Counselling in Saskatoon and Across Canada
(In-Person and Online Counselling for Adults, Seniors, and Late Teens)
When Connection Feels Complicated
Relationships are where we experience our greatest love — and often our deepest pain.
Whether it’s with a partner, family member, friend, or co-worker, human connection can bring warmth and belonging… or frustration, distance, and hurt.
Maybe you’re tired of the same arguments that never resolve.
Maybe you shut down to keep the peace, or you feel anxious when someone pulls away.
Maybe you find yourself repeating patterns — giving too much, staying too quiet, or always trying to fix things.
If you’ve ever thought, “Why do I keep ending up here?” — you’re not alone.
Individual counselling can help you understand the deeper patterns shaping your relationships and give you the tools to create healthier, more authentic connections — starting with yourself.
Understanding Relationship Struggles
Relationship challenges rarely come from a single issue; they often grow from what’s unspoken.
Underneath conflict, disconnection, or resentment, there’s usually fear — fear of rejection, fear of not being enough, or fear of being controlled.
These fears often trace back to early attachment experiences — how we learned to give and receive love, safety, and attention. When old wounds get triggered in adult relationships, our nervous system reacts as if we’re still that younger version of ourselves.
In counselling, we bring these unconscious patterns to light — not to blame, but to understand. When you can see the pattern, you can change it.
Common Relationship Challenges I Help Individuals Work Through
Communication breakdowns and emotional disconnection
Anxiety or avoidance in relationships
People-pleasing and difficulty setting boundaries
Codependency and caretaking patterns
Fear of abandonment or rejection
Trust issues or jealousy
Feeling unseen, unheard, or undervalued
Recovering from heartbreak or betrayal
Family conflict or strained parent-child relationships
Difficulty balancing independence and closeness
Even though counselling is done one-on-one, the insights you gain ripple outward — changing how you show up in every relationship you’re part of.
The Power of Self-Awareness in Relationships
Healthy relationships begin with self-understanding.
When you know your emotional triggers, boundaries, and needs, you can communicate more clearly and respond instead of react.
Together, we’ll explore questions such as:
What do you need to feel safe, respected, and valued in connection?
How do you respond when you feel ignored or misunderstood?
What patterns have been repeating in your relationships — and why?
Through awareness and practical tools, you’ll learn to take ownership of your side of the relationship dynamic without taking on everyone else’s emotions or responsibilities.
How Counselling Helps
Relationship counselling for individuals focuses on you — your patterns, emotions, and beliefs that shape how you connect with others.
Through this process, you’ll learn how to:
Communicate with honesty and confidence
Recognize emotional triggers and regulate your responses
Set boundaries that protect your peace
Stop people-pleasing or over-functioning
Let go of relationships that drain or disrespect you
Rebuild self-trust after betrayal or heartbreak
By strengthening your relationship with yourself, you naturally begin to transform the relationships around you.
A Holistic and Trauma-Informed Approach
Relationships touch every part of your being — mental, emotional, and physical. That’s why I take a holistic approach, combining emotional insight with body-based awareness.
You’ll learn how your nervous system reacts in moments of conflict or disconnection, and how to calm those responses in real time.
Together, we’ll integrate mindfulness, self-soothing techniques, and practical communication tools so that you can stay grounded and present, even when emotions run high.
When your body feels safe, authentic connection becomes possible.
Healing from Relationship Pain
You may be coming out of a breakup, navigating a toxic dynamic, or struggling with loneliness within a relationship.
Counselling helps you process what happened, make sense of your emotions, and rebuild your sense of self-worth.
We’ll explore what drew you into certain relationships, what patterns you want to change, and how to trust yourself again moving forward.
You’ll leave with greater clarity, confidence, and compassion — ready to choose relationships that reflect your growth, not your wounds.
Who Relationship Counselling Is For
Individuals feeling stuck or unhappy in current relationships
People recovering from breakups or betrayals
Those who feel anxious, rejected, or unseen in connection
Anyone wanting to understand their attachment patterns
Professionals or caregivers struggling with boundary-setting
Individuals navigating family or workplace relationship stress
You don’t need to be in a relationship to benefit. This work is about learning to relate — to yourself, to others, and to life — in a healthier, more empowered way.
What to Expect in Our Sessions
Our sessions are focused, supportive, and conversational.
We’ll look at real-life examples of what’s happening in your relationships and trace them back to the underlying patterns and emotions.
From there, you’ll learn tools to navigate difficult conversations, manage emotional intensity, and communicate your needs clearly.
Over time, you’ll notice yourself reacting differently — less defensively, more calmly, and with more confidence. The goal isn’t to change others, but to change the energy you bring into connection.
Why Work With Me
Before becoming a counsellor, I worked in trades and grew up on a Saskatchewan farm — a place where people often pushed through conflict rather than talking about it.
That experience taught me that strong relationships aren’t built on perfection — they’re built on awareness, accountability, and emotional honesty.
As a Registered Professional Counsellor, I bring both professional expertise and real-world understanding to help you build stronger, more fulfilling connections. You don’t need to come in with perfect communication skills or deep emotional insight — that’s what we’ll work on together.
Reconnecting Starts with You
When you understand yourself, you transform the way you relate to others.
If your relationships have left you feeling drained, confused, or lonely, therapy can help you find clarity, strength, and peace again.
You don’t need to go through it alone. Healing begins the moment you decide to show up for yourself.
