I work primarily with folks who’re struggling in their relationships. Mostly, I work with romantic partners, but also with mothers & daughters, business partners, friends and individuals. My clients typically have difficulties in communicating effectively with others, especially during conflict when they’re feeling all the feelings. Clients also often approach me because they’ve been betrayed in relationship. Sometimes, there’s been an affair, an experience of sexual assault, or an unexpected separation...
Frequently, it’s an individual who grew up in a loving family where there were issues & they’re wanting to work through them. Just as frequently, it’s an individual who grew up experiencing abuse, neglect &/or abandonment. Either of these individuals might now feel depressed &/or anxious, unworthy, dysregulated & alone.
I help my clients by offering not only the attunement & acknowledgement that was missing in important earlier relationships, but also practical strategies that can help in the short term. If this is something you'd also like to experience, contact me now to set up a free 20 minute Zoom consultation to see if we'd be a good fit.

I work with clients who may be struggling in their current relationships & experiencing depression & codependency, in particular. Our first session will be about identifying any patterns that might be underneath and agreeing on an approach for working with them. However, if you're specifically doing Gottman work with me, you'll also take their online assessment before we start the work.
