By using evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, EMDR and Gottman Method, clients feel a sense of empowerment.
I find people are far more capable and resilient than they realize. My approach to therapy is collaborative, eclectic and person-centered. Whether the challenge stems from anxiety, depression, trauma or conflict within your relationship, skills can be learned to navigate your life circumstance. Relationships make up the core of who we are as human beings and effort is needed to learn skills to communicate, have healthier conflict resolution or restructure a relationship to fit our needs (with others and self).

"Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. It's not always comfortable, but it's never weakness."--Brene Brown. Hi, I'm Lydia and I utilize a solution focused, mindfulness based approach to aid clients in exploring their authentic selves and behavioral patterns. Like a Phoenix, I believe individuals have the ability to rise from the ashes as renewed, stronger versions of themselves. Whether those ashes are from broken relationships, perpetual marital problems, crippling anxiety, career dissatisfaction or the aftermath of trauma, they have the ability to transform you.

Are you having the same fight over and over again with your partner? I work with couples around topics like sex (pain with sex, different libidos, healing from affairs, feeling emotionally or sexually disconnected) as well as other conflict around chores, roles, money, etc. The pain of having the same fight again and again contributes over time to a break down in trust, love and connection. These ruptures can build up over time as resentment, which speeds up the disconnection process. I love helping couples re-find each other, re-build trust, and re-connect!

Waitlist for new clients
Are you experiencing depression, anxiety, fears, anger, relationship, or family problems? Has balancing personal life and work become too much? These are all examples of our response to stress. Some people are dealing with everyday stressors and others bring traumatic experiences into the mix. When trauma collides with stress, life becomes challenging. Addressing these issues is both rewarding and scary. With compassion/humor I work with each person at their starting point and on the issues they bring. I see myself as the Sherpa who holds the lights and other tools to help make the path safe for you.

Gottman Method Therapists
How does the Gottman method work?
One of the core doctrines of the Gottman method is that negative emotions hurt relationships about five times more than positive emotions help them. Thus, couples require five times more positive interactions than negative interactions with each other. The therapist will guide clients on how to improve communication and understanding of each other to manage conflict and have their emotional needs met. The therapist will also advise couples on how to repair relations with each other when conflict arises, and therefore avoid lasting damage.
Is the Gottman method evidence-based?
Yes, this method is an evidence-based approach to couples therapy. The method is based on more than 40 years of research by Drs. John and Julie Gottman, the psychologists who developed the method. The Gottmans analyzed decades of data to draw conclusions about what types of interactions are likely to lead to specific results, and which interventions are most likely to lead to success. Studies have found that this approach leads to improvements in relationship satisfaction, intimacy, communication skills, and a lower rate of divorce.
How long does the Gottman method take?
The duration of treatment depends on the specific challenges clients face. Sessions are typically 60 to 90 minutes long, and an average course of treatment is around 10 sessions. In some cases, such as for couples dealing with a critical problem, the therapist will suggest an intensive course of treatment, with daily sessions over the first two to four days. Treatment is complete when the couple is satisfied and has met the goals they’ve set, and when the therapist believes they have the skills to continue on their own.
Is the Gottman method effective?
Through the Gottman method, couples can achieve changes that are real and sustainable. This treatment has been used for more than 40 years; the method is supported by empirical research, including randomized controlled trials that have demonstrated effectiveness in improving relationship outcomes for couples. Like any talk therapy, success or failure depends in large part on how committed the clients are to making positive changes and working toward results.
