There is an irony to healing. It is a process that requires self love and motivation, and at the same time the lack of motivation and lack of self love is part of what needs healing. We have an ability to smile or laugh externally while it may not truly match the way we feel inside. This results in not feeling fully known and feelings of loneliness amidst relationships. We are walking around with various types of traumas or betrayals from being hurt by those who should have been protecting us. There is anxiety, depression, identity crises, and the stressors of life. Yet there is hope to find peace and contentment and rise again.

Are you struggling with conflict, boundaries, communication skills, and daily functioning in your relationship? Relationships can be difficult to navigate on your own which is why couples counseling can be a good place to learn more about yourself and your relationship.

In my approach, I meet with you and your partner individually to learn as much as possible about your past and the history of the relationship as we work towards healthier communication and behavioral patterns.

You feel like your family is falling apart and you don’t know what else to do. You are stressed and exhausted from all the arguments, power struggles and fights. You’ve tried everything- following your family and friends’ advice, talking, negotiating, but nothing seems to work and things only get worse. Some days, you cry in the bathroom, feeling like a complete failure.

My clients are looking to get out of their own way relationally and in life. They accept the responsibility that all good relationships occur within the space of self regulation and full respect living. Healthy relationships are demanding of our time. Working with me clients learn a lot about their own power to influence their lives and the environment in which they live. Our relationships, whether with ourselves or others, are the most important driving force in our lives for long term happiness and life satisfaction.

I am best reached by email. As a relational therapist, I want to provide a safe space to explore the different aspects of yourself and the relationships around you. Relationships are complex, the ones we have with others, but especially the relationship with ourselves. We may find ourselves stuck in problematic thoughts and patterns, which can be challenging to change alone. Maybe you feel unmotivated, uninspired, unsure of your future, frustrated with your relationships, or uncertain about how to address your concerns constructively without the discussion turning into a fight.

You feel stuck. As far as others know you are doing just fine, but inside you are bombarded by feelings of fear, shame, and sadness. Even though you are able to function enough to get by, you're exhausted by the thoughts about not getting it "right". Would it help to have a safe place to share your concerns, ideas and dreams? And when you are ready to move with courageous action, would it help to have someone by your side? What you want is to believe that you matter, that it’s possible to feel grounded and find joy in life. You need to feel safe to be yourself.

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.
