The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication; increase intimacy, respect, and affection; remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy; and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship.

Completed Level 1 and 2 in Gottman Method Couple Therapy

I am a Level 3 Trained Gottman Therapist working towards certification. The Gottman Method, from my experience, is one of the most effective modalities in helping couples resolve significant and long-lasting problematic areas in their relationship.

Have you noticed that you/your partner pulling away or the opposite? Are you wondering whether or not your relationship is worth it anymore? Has infidelity entered the relationship? Do you feel like you don’t know your partner anymore? Or maybe one/both of you are going through something & need to find ways to be a support for other person. Regardless of the issue/s & there are always issues, let’s help you build a shared meaning, develop a style of communicating that works, & become bffs again.

I am level 2 trained and a leader in the 7 Principles of Making a Marriage Work Workshop.

Completed Clinical Level One and Level Two of Gottman Method Couples Therapy through the Gottman Institute.

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.

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.

This was developed by John and Julie Gottman who are renowned couple's therapy experts. The method works by creating a deep intimacy between the two with a strong foundation of knowing and understanding one another and releasing ineffective ways of communicating and interacting. It increases awareness around common relationship pitfalls and create balance, equality, and friendship in even the most stale of marriages.

Couples Counseling is where both parties start the process of building a foundation of mutual respect and desire to intentionally hear one another. You don’t have to be in crisis in your relationship to desire to have the opportunity to work on communication around finances, shared responsibility, transition to parenting, intimacy, conflict- you name it, we’ve worked on it before in couples therapy.

With six years of academic training in marriage and family therapy and specialized postgraduate education in the Gottman Method, I’ve developed a strong foundation in using this research-based approach to help couples improve their relationships. My training equips me to guide couples through effective communication strategies, conflict resolution, and rebuilding trust.

The Gottman Method is a specific form of couples counseling that addresses unhealthy conflict management and communication styles and helps couples to improve their intimacy, love, and respect for each other. The Gottman Method offers guided tools to assess the current state of your relationship and then together we create actionable steps to get you where you want to be in your partnership.

I specialize in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, focusing on strengthening relationships through improved communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intimacy. Using research-based tools, I help couples build trust, manage disagreements constructively, and deepen their emotional connection. Whether navigating challenges or simply seeking to enhance your bond, I provide a supportive environment to foster lasting, meaningful change and a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.

For couples, I draw from the Gottman Method to provide structure, tools, and insight into what makes relationships work and what leads to disconnection. Using evidence-based strategies, I help partners improve communication, build trust, and enhance intimacy. My approach is compassionate and collaborative, with a focus on helping both individuals feel heard and understood. I also weave in attachment theory and somatic techniques to help couples move through disconnection, repair and reconnection

I am levels 1-3 trained in the Gottman Method and was supervised by a certified Gottman supervisor for over a year.

The Gottman Method is a popular and evidence-based approach to couples counseling developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It is grounded in extensive research on couples' interactions and aims to help couples improve their relationships, resolve conflicts, and build lasting connections.

I incorporate the Gottman Method into my therapy practice to help couples improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen their emotional connection. Based on research, the Gottman approach focuses on building friendship, managing conflict, and creating shared meaning in relationships. Through structured interventions, I help couples understand each other's needs, build trust, and foster respect, ultimately enhancing their bond and creating a healthier, more resilient relationship.
