With couples, I implement the Gottman method.
My primary passion/skill is in working with couples and those with anxiety. I am hope/solution focused and build a safe & welcoming space for my clients. I'll help you walk towards the abundant life/marriage God desires for you. I would be honored to walk beside you & give you tangible tools in marriage such as learning healthy conflict resolution/communication and how to accept differences to grow in intimacy. For anxiety, I teach you how not be afraid of anxiety & give you tools to work with it instead of against it. We use biblical/therapeutic techniques to learn how to truly take thoughts captive & not allow anxiety to rule.

I primarily utilize CBT, DBT, and have completed level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.
Carl Rogers once said, ‘the curious paradox is that only when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change.’ We are all unique and I approach each client in a curious, patient, and nonjudgmental way to meet them where they are right now and support them in working toward acceptance, which I believe to be foundational to any meaningful change. This process can be both uncomfortable and rewarding, so I encourage clients to approach therapy as an investment in their lives. I also encourage you to give yourself credit for making the decision to seek therapy! It really does take courage to do so.

In a safe space, you’ll learn new techniques for conflict resolution and building communication skills, informed by the Gottman method.
You’re lying in bed next to your partner, but it feels like there’s an unbridgeable gap between you. Lately, it’s as though you’re just roommates. You tolerate each other and have built a functional life together, but something integral is missing. There’s no passion anymore, and the romance has all but disappeared. When you try to discuss these issues, it always seems to devolve into a screaming match. Neither of you is having your needs met. You’ve both become so locked into your family roles that there appears to be no way out. You’re not ready to give up, but you don’t know how much longer you can go on like this. You need help.

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.
