Gottman Method

Drawing from Dr. Gottman's research, I specialize in helping couples improve their relationships and increase satisfaction. Through assessment tools and evidence-based approaches, I identify relationship strengths and areas of growth, then guide couples in developing effective communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and ways to enhance intimacy.

I am committed to saving your relationship. Couples counseling is a particularly difficult task to undertake. People often present to counseling when they are feeling desperate in their relationship. I strive to help you develop what Dr. John Gottman coined as a "Sound Relationship House." This involves trust and commitment, positive feelings towards your partner, sharing in life achievements, and conflict resolution. I look forward to helping you create a solid foundation.

Gottman Method therapy is a type of couples counseling based on over 40 years of research (that is still ongoing) into what creates happy, stable relationships. What ARE those people who are loving their relationships doing anyway? This type of couples therapy is based off the answers to that question and is very skills based. I will use it to help you reconnect with each other, have the conversations you haven't been able to have (or at least not well), and look forward to your future together.
