I offer evidence based practice through treatment methods such as Gottman Method, IFS, and other experiential therapy techniques.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by the relationships in your life or maybe you're starting to notice you're drifting away from your spouse/significant other, it's okay to ask for help. We live in a world that greets us with many demands, and it can often feel like a constant struggle to balance everything. If you find yourself wondering "Will it get better? Can it be different?", therapy can help identify patterns and behaviors that are keeping you and your relationship stuck. Each session builds on uncovering and learning more about yourself as you begin to understand how this impacts your relationship with others.

I’m also level 1 and 2 trained in Gottman method therapy for couples.
Taking the step to seek therapy can be scary, intimidating, and overwhelming. I look forward to working with clients and couples who are brave enough to take this step to better themselves and their relationships. My focus primarily lies in bettering client's self-esteem through exploring their identity and personal experiences that have made them who they are today. My ideal clients may not know where or how to begin their journey of self discovery, but are willing to take the chance. I work with clients to create their own goals. I tend to work at the client's pace, pushing them when need be.

Offering a holistic approach, I am an AASECT certified sex therapist trained in the Gottman Method of couples therapy and EMDR for trauma.
Updated: I have 1 opening for a new tele therapy client in MI or IN. Many people are in their heads rather than in their body during intimacy. You may be thinking about things so much that you can’t enjoy pleasure in the moment. Maybe you are thinking about your performance or playing mental gymnastics during intimacy taking away from your pleasure and connection.
Previous trauma can also stand in the way of enjoyment and bring unexpected pain.
Maybe you lack desire and have a low libido, wishing you enjoyed intimacy as much as your partner does. Everyone deserves pleasure and connection and you are not alone.

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.
