Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy in Vancouver

If you’re feeling out of sync, couples therapy can help restore connection, understanding and trust.

You care about each other. But maybe you keep getting stuck in the same painful arguments, or feel like you’re speaking different languages. Maybe trust has been broken, the intimacy has faded or your connection just doesn’t feel the same anymore.

A Process-Oriented Approach: IFIO Couples Therapy

I’m trained in IFIO (Intimacy from the Inside Out), the branch of Internal Family Systems (IFS) developed for couple therapy. This model doesn’t treat one person as “the problem” or jump to quick-fix solutions. Instead, it invites each partner to explore the protective parts that get activated in the relationship—those tender places that might lash out, shut down, or panic when things feel hard.

IFS couples therapy helps you understand the deeper emotions and survival strategies driving your dynamic, and make space for more choice, compassion, and connection. It works well for people navigating trauma histories as well as differences in neurotype and is suitable for all kinds of relationships. Whether you’re in a friendship, a partnership, a roommate dynamic, or a workplace relationship, it’s all valid here.

Relationship Therapy Might Be Right for You If:

• You keep looping through the same arguments and want to break the cycle

• You’re healing from betrayal, disconnection, or a rupture in trust

• You want to deepen emotional intimacy and communicate with more care

• You’re navigating transitions—like gender identity, neurodivergence, or non-monogamy

• You feel stuck, confused, or unsure if your relationship can or should continue

• You want therapy where your relationship doesn’t need to be defended—just explored
