I use PACT Therapy, IFIO, Emotion Focused Therapy, and The Gottman Method to help couples change relationship patterns and stay connected and aligned.
If issues with conflict, parenting, infidelity, money, housework or past hurts are clouding your marriage, couples therapy will offer you more clarity and compassion for yourself and your part. From this space you will be able to communicate with openness, courage, and create possibility for real relational change. In individual therapy, I can support you in self discovery, unwinding harmful patterns, and processing trauma. Inviting and integrating all parts of your experience increases presence and availability for your family, work and relationships.

Many of the client's that I work with have the same fight over and over again; maybe it's the dishes, maybe it's his friends, maybe you feel like she's not listening to you, maybe you both drink too much. Without professional help it's so easy to get stuck in a rut. At Kenosis Counseling, I believe in the potential of relationships. By resolving our issues through both vulnerability and committed action a relationship can become a place of peace and joy. I want you to have a relationship that others wished they had. I will help you become each others best friends, strongest allies, and emotional sanctuaries.

Becoming a mom impacts every area of your life, in some expected ways and many unexpected. The impact of these changes can manifest in various ways, from shifts in your body to transformations within your career, your relationship, and even differences in parenting approaches. You may find yourself feeling lost or confused, constantly overwhelmed, and questioning yourself and your choices. You may be surrounded by others yet still feel completely alone and uncertain of what to do, where to start, and how to move forward. I want you to know that you are not alone.

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.
