I work collaboratively with clients to establish mutually agreed upon therapeutic goals and provide a comfortable and compassionate space to explore, discuss, and be heard. My therapy style combines DBT, CBT, ACT and The Gottman Method and is tailored to the specific needs of each individual as they walk towards self-discovery and well-being. With these approaches, I empower my clients to identify and achieve their goals by drawing on their unique individual strengths. Consequently, they are able to gain a deeper understanding of who they are and how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors impact their functioning and relationships.

My approach to therapy assesses where your strengths are and where you want to improve. We'll then uncover relational raw spots or insecurities that keep your partnership disconnected. Then, I'll help you learn and practice new skills to repair issues quickly and feel more at ease when thrown off balance. I use my training in the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy to target negative interaction patterns that have been fueling your conflicts so that you can reunite with fondness and admiration for each other. You may also find quick relief of stress symptoms with an Accelerated Resolution Therapy session.

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.
