I believe the role of a therapist is to offer unconditional acceptance and walk alongside each client as they work through their issues. There are many different tools to help each client achieve their goals. Setting up a treatment plan with attainable goals with clear direction is essential in the counseling process. Each client comes with their own belief system. I am committed to helping clients find the inner peace that comes through relationships with people and a higher power. I am trained in biblical principles and a Christian, but I am committed to helping each person find their own path and their own beliefs.

My belief is that real change can occur in one's life when they work with a therapist who is genuine and unbiased; someone who has a desire to see others moving forward and living their lives to the fullest. It would be a true honor to be that individual for you or your loved one.

I am proud to have received advanced training through the Gottman Institute and utilize the Gottman Method in my couples work.
Life is not always easy. Sometimes life is challenging because of circumstances related to our actions; sometimes these challenges are a result of circumstances beyond our control. Regardless, these circumstances do not define us. It is, instead, our response to these circumstances that determines our course. My passion is working with individuals and families who are facing these storms. I love walking with my clients through these storms and into a bright new day. It is my hope that each of my clients will learn not just to weather and survive these storms but rather to conquer and overcome them.

I incorporate the Gottman Method in couples counseling and Prepare and Enrich curriculum in premarital work.
I approach counseling with compassion and curiosity, with the goal of offering space for others to work through difficult emotions and experiences. I encourage those I work with to show the same curiosity and compassion toward themselves as I know this work can be challenging at times, but also exceptionally rewarding. I utilize psychodynamic techniques in therapy, which are targeted toward helping people understand how their unique history affects their present lives and relationships. Through this insight individuals can find healing and become more equipped to make the lasting changes they want to see in their life.

I specialize in couples counseling using the Gottman Method.
I understand that therapy may be a big step for many and emotions may even be a bit scary. That’s why I make it my responsibility to create a safe and trusting, collaborative environment. I want the people that I work with to feel comfortable sharing their stories while also not shying away from exploring the scary parts as well. I like to approach these issues using acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). This approach highlights compassion and mindfulness to help individuals accept their emotions without judgment, notice and disengage with unhelpful thoughts, and learn to commit to their values by confronting avoidance.

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.
