I want to begin by saying, your pain is a valid experience. Counseling is a place to be heard, feel supported, and learn some new ways to handle your everyday life concerns. These concerns may be your struggling marriage, difficulties parenting, the strain of being a teenager, adjustments in life, difficulties at work or your mood in general. Many times, we know what the problem is, but are not sure what to do about it. That’s OKAY! You are not supposed to automatically know what to do in every situation. Counseling can help you better understand your situation & teach you to cope more effectively.

Now taking Aetna and Cigna. Taking new adults, teens, and kids now! Are you or your child feeling like there are no choices and you are just swept along by the current? Do you often feel overwhelmed by stress and anxiety and you don't know where to start or which direction to go? Does low mood sometimes leave you feeling like you have nothing left to give? Does your anger bubble over and you just don't feel like yourself anymore? Living with anxiety, depression, stress, or resentment can feel unbearable. You don't have to merely "survive" life though. You can live in, direct, and thrive in your life again or for the first time.

When life feels overwhelming, we need to feel seen, heard, and cared for more than ever. If you find that you lack support in your personal life from family, friends, or even work, and you feel like you need more guidance, then I may be a good fit for you. I understand feeling lost and not knowing where to turn. As someone who found resilience in adversity, I know just how difficult it is to navigate these feelings alone. If you are currently in the “counselor hunting” stage, I have been in your shoes and I know it is daunting. It can feel intimidating to try to find the right fit.

Today our complicated and fast-paced lives are full of pressures that challenge us in countless ways. "How can I find happiness in my marriage?", "How do I cope with...?", and "Why do I feel so out of control?" are some of the questions I hear from clients seeking to understand their life journey and questioning what they can do to reach their true potential - individually, as a couple, or as a family. Soul searching is rarely an easy path to take, yet wanting to achieve an emotionally healthy life is usually the motivator which begins the process.

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.
