What do you love most about your job?
I love that I can help a couple in crisis create lasting positive change. To go from the beginning of a private retreat, where ending the relationship is a real possibility, to the end of the week where the couple has a new narrative and appreciation for each other, and the relationship is deeply gratifying.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have been practicing couples therapy for over twenty years. After the first five years, I came to the conclusion that the one hour a week couples therapy model is deeply flawed for couples in crisis. It is unreasonable to ask two people who want to save their relationship but are on the verge of divorce, to stop talking after exactly 55 minutes and wait a whole week to continue the work. They have to return home to where they have to still live with and run a household with someone, they have built a whole life with but are in crisis with. That seems just wrong to me.
It took me many years to develop and perfect the Couples Retreat in Montreal clinical model. I researched what worked and what did not in the field of couples therapy and came to the conclusion that the most effective way of intervening with a couple in crisis is to get them out of their home environment and take them to a beautiful location where they can spend a week free of all their other responsibilities and focus on repairing the relationship. I developed my own in-depth questionnaires that once completed give me all the information I need to custom build the retreat for that particular couple
Why should our clients choose you?
I specialize in couples in crisis and I have been doing so for over twenty years. All my graduate-level training was in couples and family therapy. I am a Registered Marriage & Family Therapist in Canada as well as being the president of the Canadian Association for Marriage & Family Therapy. I am a clinical fellow of the American Association for Marriage & Family therapy. I am considered an expert in the field of couples therapy and I have been interviewed by major Canadian newspapers to provide my expert opinion on couples therapy.
Most importantly I believe in what I do. Once I sign on with a couple I believe it is my duty to help them until they no longer need assistance. I do not sit back and just listen, I engage and collaborate with every couple that decides they want something better for themselves individually and as a couple.
