I participate in Certification Consultation Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy to provide relationship, family, and conjoint counseling.
Communication can be a struggle for some. If your current way of communicating isn’t working for you or your relationship, and you’re ready to do the work, I can help. I’m passionate about helping others recognize and remove barriers to communication and learn healthier ways of understanding and interacting with others. Let me help with the skills you weren’t taught or with ways you learned that no longer serve you. It is time to rewrite the narrative, to be better for yourself and the people who love you. If you need a little help or little extra effort to get there, contact me and let’s get started. You win and so do they.

With the start of a brand new year, many people begin to process and reflect on the past year(s) and prepare for a new one, thinking about the goals they want to set and how they want to be better. It is possible to not even know where to begin and to feel lost or hopeless in the process. We are all struggling, but we don't have to continue tolerating the struggle, and we certainly don't have to do it alone. Therapy can provide a wonderful and safe outlet to explore and process new thoughts and emotions and start making positive changes toward a better future.

I believe that all clients have the ability to live the life they want. Often we live life by "rules" that we needed while growing up. Things that were helpful before may no longer serve us, and may even create a feeling of "stuck". Often we can feel isolated and alone in our struggle, convinced that we are the only ones who find life difficult to live sometimes. In my room (physical and virtual) we work together to discover your wants and needs, figure out new "rules", and get to the place that you feel most fulfilled. We collaborate on goals and formulate treatment plans unique to you.

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.
