In addition, I have been trained in both EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) and the Gottman Method for couples.
Do you feel exhausted and drained all the time? Do you feel stuck, struggling with past traumas and their impact on your present life? If your answer is yes, then you have come to the right place - I work closely with my clients to unpack their past and help them heal from traumas, so they can find balance and overall health in their daily lives. I am passionate about working with couples and individuals and believe that our health is fundamentally tied to our relationships, including the ones we have with ourselves.

I believe that healing begins with connection; to yourself, your story, and to meaningful relationships. Therapy is, at its heart, an honest, human relationship and that’s what I want to offer as a clinician. I approach therapy as an open exploration of your full self. This means that you get to safely bring your unedited, unrefined self into the room, including your gender identity, sexual orientation, race, relational structure, and every other element of your identity mosaic. I have special interest in the intersection of sexuality, trauma, and religion. Wherever it is, I am here to meet you where you’re at.

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.
