My practice is trauma-informed and focuses on the Gottman Method, attachment, and sexual intimacy.
Do you sense your relationship needs renewal and a clear way to move forward together? If you are feeling disconnected from your partner and uncertain about the future, this can change. I help committed couples learn healthier ways of relating using an evidence-based method grounded in the science of relationships. You will learn skills you can use at home to improve communication and rediscover the intimacy that has been missing. Couples often share that they leave sessions feeling clearer and more hopeful. You do not need to remain uncertain. With the right skills, your relationship can thrive.

Something isn’t working the way it used to. You might feel it in your relationship, more distance, more conflict, less ease. Or internally, where your mind won’t slow down, your reactions feel stronger than they should, or you keep falling into the same patterns. Whether on your own or with a partner, these patterns are often rooted in past experiences that haven’t been fully processed. During stress or life transitions, they tend to surface more strongly, leaving you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected.

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 analysed 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 randomised 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.
