PARENTS, TEENS, BIPOC and LGBTQ. It is so hard when you feel alone and hopeless or worried that your best isn’t good enough, especially, for the people that you love and care about. Life keeps changing and it is hard to keep up when you don't feel like yourself. These changes can be related to school, career, fertility, gender, weight, sexuality, pregnancy, parenthood or caring for an aging relative. And the pain only grows when you can’t stop second guessing yourself, take that much needed break or friends and family don't quite understand.

My goal is to create an environment that is safe to heal. One that each person can speak freely without fear of judgement or ridicule.I confront the core issues with warmth so that we can tackle each problem one-by-one. I can work with individuals, children, adolescents, couples or families. I am referred to as a "family therapist" because I work with one person or many at the same time. Sessions are tailored to the client needs and goals. Talk therapy is not for everyone and if someone has difficulty expressing themselves we can use other modalities.

Each morning, you wake up with anxiety and depression weighing heavily upon you, despite fervent prayers for relief. You know that God has not given you a spirit of fear, but you feel a storm of worry inside you anyway. The storm within persists, leaving you feeling disconnected from loved ones and the peace you seek with God. You haven’t been able to blend your faith with practical steps toward healing. Seeking a balance where the spiritual journey and emotional well-being walk hand in hand is something that has eluded you. You long to fortify your relationships and deepen your connection to God.

As an adult looking for ways to help heal from childhood trauma, you may find yourself wondering how to cope with the pain you've experienced. It seems like you've tried everything, even therapy, but nothing seems to work or at least for only a period of time. It can be daunting to reach out to a counselor because you want to make sure they will be able to assist you in relieving what feels like years of carrying around emotional pain; that has put a drain on self-perceptions and relationships..

Counseling has the potential to be the most frustrating group project that you will ever take on. I mean this sincerely. You have about 45-50 minutes a week to work through a lifetime of content, your partner does not “give you the answers,” and there’s no rubric that is handed out when you start. It is just you and another person trying to figure this life thing out, or at least that is how it looks.

Getting to know our authentic self can be a lifelong journey. We all have a story and the people in our lives, or not in our lives have helped to create that story. There is power in engaging our story. This takes courage and helps to integrate our lives, this integration is what rewires our brain and body for healthy connection. Our stories begin to make sense as we link our past and present. By facing our story, we start by looking at the places in our lives where we have been harmed and surprisingly we find freedom, hope, and joy.

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.
