Relationships are my cup of tea. At the core of all of our lives are the relationships that we have with those around us. If we are unaware of how we impact others it’s impossible to have good relationships as we are operating out of our learned behavior rather than actively choosing the person we want to show up as. I call this going against our "urges"! When we recognize that we have a choice in who we are it puts us in a power position to make change in our life.

I specialize in Trauma, Anxiety, mind/body work, and Couples Counseling. I have a passion for a mind-body-spirit approach to mental health care as anxiety, trauma, and interpersonal stress have a great impact on all three. Two quotes that help explain my approach to Counseling are Carl Jung’s famous quote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate” and a quote by Paul Batalden; “Every system is perfectly designed to achieve exactly the results it gets.” We function within many systems in our lives and one of the most important systems is our internal one.

I specialize in working with men struggling with an unhealthy relationship with themselves and others leading to disconnect, anxiety, depression, addiction, low self esteem and a host of other issues. Stated by Thoreau, “The mass of men live lives of quiet desperation.” This doesn't have to be you, feel better, love better, perform better and enjoy more. Consistent with this I also work with couples to help reestablish the connection that is struggling or feels lost.

Clients are welcomed into my space wherever they are in terms of understanding, self-awareness, and managing difficult emotions. Sessions focus on the 'here and now' while also exploring historical issues being triggered and mis-managed. We confront irrational thinking and work to re-script the less-than-helpful language around feeling 'not good enough,' 'broken,' or 'lost.' Ultimately, clients can expect to focus on their core issues and will, in the process, come to feel genuinely known, accepted, and not so alone in the process of their lives.

It is common for people to say therapy hasn’t helped much and in many cases has even made things worse. Understandably, this increases people’s fear and doubt about therapy being able to help them. I find that most therapy is ineffective and most therapist are poorly trained. Because of this, I have been deeply committed to becoming a much better therapist providing the most modern and effective therapeutic approaches. The people I work with regularly report more significant energy, relief, and sense of lightness. They also tend to share that the process was quick, effective, and enjoyable.

One of my favorite sayings "We cannot see things as-THEY-are , for we are compelled by nature to see things as-WE-are." Our past, good and bad, shape how we perceive the world. Understanding why we act; gives us ability to change. Relationships are like stories playing out our past experiences, especially in tough times. Many get stuck in repeating past patterns, lacking conflict resolution skills. Conflict isn't bad; it's how you handle it. Navigating conflicts leads to more trusting, intimate, safe, fun, and fulfilling relationships. Conflict managed well, deepens understanding and strengthens our connections. Were you taught how?

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.
