Feeling stuck and lost can often cause significant distress, even leading to anxiety, depression and panic attacks. Counseling can help you navigate those blocks in your relationships, career, and personal life and relieve the distress you feel. It may help you make decisions, find success and discover meaning. Counseling may help you take the leap, mend marital conflicts and heal old wounds. I help couples, families and individuals resolve conflicts, break old habits, and try on new ones. I have completed Level 1 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy (GMCT) and use GMCT in my work with couples and families.

I offer ONLINE and PHONE counseling. After 25 years in practice, I read John Gottman's best selling book "The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work". I was intrigued and attended a Level One Gottman training in San Francisco. It was fortunate that this was a training with both John and Julie Gottman - I was hooked on the Gottman Method of couple counseling and embarked on the intensive 2 year training necessary to obtain certification in the Gottman method. The Gottmans are at the leading edge of thought in the field of couple counseling. Their methods are based on 40 years of research with thousands of couples.

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.
