About Bev

When I launched into a relationship back in the early ‘80’s, I had no idea what I was
getting into! Somehow I thought the marriage would just “hum” along, so I just “dove” in, rather blindly. Like many people, I jumped into a relationship with the ideals of youth, unaware of the twists and turns that awaited me (and us).

The combination of my twenty-five year experience in my own long term relationship, and an ever present fascination with relationship dynamics led me to study and search for the keys to healthy relationships. I was curious about how couples made it for the long haul, especially through marriage stressors such as illness, children, financial stress, etc, etc.?

When things have been tough in my own relationship, I found myself looking outward to other couples who had “made it”, watching and listening very intently for their “clues” to the success of their “togetherness” amidst the stresses of life.

After many twists and turns, including working in the field of mediation (Mediation Services, Winnipeg, MB) and taking numerous undergraduate courses in the specialized area of conflict resolution, I was pleased to earn a BA in Conflict Resolution at the University of Winnipeg. I soon realized I wanted to share my knowledge and experience in a more proactive, distinct way ~~ with individuals, couples and families.

So I dove into a specialized training graduate program in marital and family therapy. It was quite a ride! While completing my Masters’ Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy, I grew to appreciate the unique power of couple and family systems. I was so amazed at the ways that healthy couple patterns could impact individual, couple and families’ lives - rippling out to the broader world!

Helping couples, as well as individuals and families to build healthier intimate relationships has become a creative and stimulating way for me to express my core values and beliefs. I find it inspiring to witness my clients getting greater fulfillment and closeness in their intimate relationships amidst the many hurdles and stresses of our lives today!

Meaningful relationships are a lot of work, yes! But they’re a whole lot easier when you’re not alone, getting help from an experienced guide and mentor!
