I am an EMDRIA approved EMDR therapist, and have completed training levels 1 and 2 of the Gottman Method for couples.
I’m so glad that you are here. Being human can often be painful, lonely, and difficult. As a therapist, I honor the courage and vulnerability that it takes to reach out for support. It is no small task to look at the broken, painful parts of our lives. However, the choice to do so is also a choice to create meaningful change and to find healing.

You have been putting off therapy for months, but now you are determined to make your relationship’s better. You've spent the last years trying to keep it together, but you don’t know what went wrong. As far as anyone can tell, you’ve got a great life. You’re committed, driven, and dependable. But on the inside, you have never felt more alone or even enough, and the voice in your head is quick to remind you of all the ways you’re falling short. You're tired of feeling distant from your loved ones and stuck in communication patterns that leave you empty. Not anymore. It's time for a change.

The hamster wheel you’re on seems to be spinning out of control. Your mind races with endless thoughts about all you have to do, and everything that’s wrong in your life. You feel nervous and overwhelmed by these anxious thoughts. You're not sleeping, you've got unhealthy eating habits and you've started drinking more. Nothing you’ve tried seems to work. You’re smart and accomplished…you get things done…you’ve always been the problem solver. And yet, you can’t seem to get a handle on this anxiety, and it’s starting to impact your relationships and your job. You know you need to do something, but you just don't know what that is.

My approach to counseling is mainly from a person-centered, non-authoritative style that allows clients to process, discover, and find their own solutions. By fostering a non-judgmental space; clients are met where they are and viewed as the experts in their lives. Through various evidence based techniques of counseling, clients are empowered to challenge internal thinking processes and motivated to create positive change. As clients discover how to utilize their inner strengths to bring about these transformations, autonomy increases, and independence is fortified.

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.
