Hi there! It's great to meet you! I know it's not easy finding a therapist who will meet your needs and provide a safe environment to be vulnerable. A little about my therapy style, I approach therapy based on what you, the client, is initially going through and any precipitating events you may present at the first session. Because I have such compassion for helping others through their tribulations, I meet people where they are in their journey, focusing on what they know to be true, and re-empower them to trust their intuition.

When any type of mental health or emotional concern affects daily life and function, therapy is recommended and can begin at any time to improve or work through concerns. Some are hesitant to begin therapy and put it off despite experiencing mental or emotional pain. They may ignore it, push it aside, and keep going through life with broken hearts and minds, not realizing the impairment is has on them and those around them. The right time to begin therapy, is the moment you think about it. "It is the means by which we convey our feelings to one another, our method of influence."

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.
