Invisible Labor & Burnout Support

The Work Starts Here. Moving from Resentment to PartnershipInvisible Labor & Burnout SupportRealign your roles. Rediscover appreciation.

Sessions are online via secure Zoom from my office in Red Deer, serving couples across Alberta.

Relationship burnout often starts with the things no one sees—the "mental load" of managing a household, a family, and a life. When one partner carries the invisible weight of the relationship, resentment builds, and connection dies. This is specialist support to stop the burnout and rebuild the partnership.

You’re in a relationship - but you feel more like roommates or coworkers.

You may be:

• Exhausted by the "mental load" of managing everything
• Resentful about the imbalance of household or parenting roles
• Feeling unappreciated and unseen in your daily efforts
• Stuck in a loop of "nagging" vs. "shutting down"
• Wondering if you’re just too burned out to try anymore

No matter how deep the resentment feels, I’ll meet you there with professional, direct guidance to realign your roles and your connection.

What We Work On

Together, we look at the invisible structures of your relationship. We move past the surface-level arguments about chores and get into the deeper relational patterns of respect and accountability.

You’ll learn how to:

• Make "invisible labor" visible without starting a fight
• Communicate needs with clarity instead of resentment
• Realign household and relationship roles for sustainable balance
• Rediscover appreciation and genuine connection
• Stop the reactive cycle of burnout and shutdown

What Makes This Work Different? 

This isn’t just about making a chore chart. This is practical, honest work using Relational Life Therapy (RLT). We look at the power dynamics and the "relational stances" that keep you stuck.

We use tools to help you:

• Speak the truth about your needs with respect
• Establish boundaries that protect your well-being
• Repair imbalances cleanly and effectively
• Show up as a team instead of adversaries

What You Can Expect

✔️ Online sessions, day, evening, and weekends
✔️ A focused look at the "mental load" and role imbalances
✔️ Practical RLT tools to shift power and resentment
✔️ Honest, personalized feedback (not just nodding)
✔️ Actionable steps to move from survival back into connection

You’ll leave each session with clarity and specific tools. And you’ll know exactly what to work on between sessions. Many couples experience real change in just 4 to 6 sessions (8 to 12 hours), especially when they commit to the work outside of our time together.

Who This Is For

• Parents struggling with "default parent" dynamics
• Partners feeling overwhelmed by household management
• Couples where one partner feels "checked out" due to exhaustion
• Anyone ready to stop the cycle of resentment and start the repair

We meet online in the privacy of your home, but the work goes deep into the real dynamics of your daily life.

What does this cost? From $200 per hour.
