About Anaka
Relationship Specialist
Anaka Styba, MA, CRC, is a Registered Psychologist in Alberta and a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist with nearly 20 years of experience supporting couples through conflict, disconnection, betrayal, major relationship decisions, and rebuilding connection.
Her approach is warm, structured, and practical. She helps couples slow difficult conversations down, understand the patterns beneath conflict, and learn new ways of communicating that create greater emotional safety and mutual understanding.
Rekindle the Flame grew from Anaka’s desire to give couples more time to learn and practice these foundational skills together before taking the work deeper in private sessions.
Her Approach to Couples Work
Anaka does not begin with the assumption that one partner is right, that every relationship should be saved, or that differences are the problem.
She helps couples become more curious about what is happening beneath recurring conflict, understand how each partner’s experiences shape the way they respond, and communicate differences with greater empathy, respect, and clarity.
The goal is not perfection. It is to help couples create a relationship that feels safer, more intentional, and more connected.
Why Imago Relationship Therapy?
Rekindle the Flame is grounded in Imago Relationship Therapy, a relationship-focused approach developed by Dr. Harville Hendrix and Dr. Helen LaKelly Hunt.
Imago explores how early experiences, attachment patterns, and unmet needs can influence attraction, conflict, and emotional reactions in adult relationships.
Structured Imago dialogue helps partners slow conversations down, listen more carefully, and communicate in ways that make it easier for both people to feel heard and understood. These principles form an important part of the Rekindle weekend.
