Couples Therapy: Gottman Repair & Narcissistic Abuse
Is your partnership strained by narcissistic abuse fallout, emotional immaturity, in-law conflict, or post-affair distrust? My couples work restores connection and respect, whether the wounds began in a dysfunctional family of origin or surfaced inside the relationship itself.
Evidence-Based Modalities for Two
Gottman Method (core framework) – love-map assessment, bids, conflict regulation
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) – turning criticism into secure attachment
Bowen Family Systems & IFS – spot inherited patterns, heal protective “parts”
Attachment-informed CBT & Solution-Focused tools – fast skills for everyday harmony
What Sessions Look Like
90-minute intake with the Gottman Relationship Checkup.
Weekly 50-minute sessions (in-person Toronto or secure Zoom across Ontario).
Practical homework: soft start-ups, boundaries with high-conflict relatives, intimacy rituals.
Ongoing progress reviews to keep therapy goal-driven and transparent.
Common Issues We Tackle
Communication gridlock & stonewalling
Post-affair repair and rebuilding trust
Parenting stress, blended families, aging-parent pressure
Financial clashes & life-stage transitions
Deciding to stay, consciously separate, or co-parent respectfully
