The challenges you face aren’t just obstacles; they’re opportunities to unlock your potential. I’ve been there—feeling stuck, weighed down by unresolved trauma, strained relationships, or a lack of direction. But here’s the truth: these moments aren’t dead ends. They’re invitations to transform, to break through emotional barriers, and to rediscover the strength within you.

After over thirty years in practice, my most studied specialty is in relationship counseling. Loving feelings can grow when couples make a commitment of just 4 to 6 sessions. I teach enhanced communication skills and a conflict resolution model to help you talk out an issue all the way to a solution. I can help you move past the anger and towards a deeper connection. Some couples disagree over personality traits or gender differences? I increase your understanding of these differences so you can let go of those negative feelings. And I will help you change patterns of behavior that disrupt your present relationship.

When the pressures of daily life create distress, there is great satisfaction in finding a solution to lower your natural instinct of fear and anxiety. The main focus of my practice is to locate the limiting beliefs from your history, to free you from the contradictions that limit your growth and confuse you in relationships. The most important goal of therapy is to raise awareness regarding your natural inclination to react to negativity. When you are well anchored on the inside you will not emotionally react to an external challenge or threat.

Are you struggling and feeling stuck? Are you wondering if things will ever change? You may feel like you have tried everything to fix things or maybe to save your relationship. Is a heavy weight holding you down? What about racing thoughts that seem to have no end and you have no idea how to calm the storm inside you? Is something from your past still affecting you today, like it is happening right now? Maybe your relationship is somewhere you never thought it would be. Reaching out to a counselor can be scary and it is hard to know where to begin. You want to find someone who can understand you, walk along-side you, and help you.

Something isn't quite right. You've dedicated much to your relationships, yet you keep hitting roadblocks. Partnerships and trust seem harder to come by. Your children are caught in shifting households, leaving you feeling isolated. Family support feels unreliable, and life's challenges seem overwhelming. Where can you turn for wisdom and support? Something feels off. Parents are pushing you to fit a mold that doesn't align with you. It's isolating when no one seems to grasp your perspective. Loneliness weighs heavy, and finding a safe space to share your thoughts seems unsurmountable. Who can you turn to?

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.
