Style of counselling and values
Christina welcomes you into a comfortable, safe, and respectful environment (online or in-person) to promote growth and healing in your times of stress, uncertainty, and desperation.
She promises to respect your personal and cultural values while you seek to courageously face life’s invariable disappointments and hard decisions outside the therapy room.
She hopes to gently help you embrace and accomplish opportunities that are challenging you to break free of thought patterns and behaviours from your past; possibly patterns that could be stifling your dignity, contentment, relationships, and ability to see the "bigger picture" of your life's important and valuable journey.
Christina uses her Christian perspective and integrates evidence-based therapies to her work. Therapeutic approaches include: Gottman Institute methods (incl Betrayal/Affair Recovery), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT for Couples), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT), Person-Centered, Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, and Existential (to name a few).

Paul primarily works in the Prepare-Enrich facilitation part of the business. He and Christina co-facilitate pre-marriage sessions,
They have known each other for over 35 years (married 27 yrs) and share their insight and wisdom that God has granted them through daily mercy and grace.
Paul blends life experiences in a logical and emotional way, modelling how our brain (and partners) can collaborate to create a healthy balance for relationships and well-being.
