Why Michael

I'm a husband and father, so I know relationships don't fall apart in a neat session. I'll help you find the one pattern that keeps repeating and give you something you can actually try at home this week.

I'm a registered social worker (MSW, RSW) with over 14 years of experience helping individuals and couples with relationship concerns. My work draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method. My approach is practical, relatable and focused on useful next steps you can use in real life.
