I specialize in individual and couples therapy, utilizing The Gottman Method , EFT, Attachment-theory, Interpersonal Neurobiology, and Mindfulness practice.
I have been in practice for over 30 years, helping clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationships. Life often challenges our ability to maintain equilibrium. Whether it's in work or love, choices are often linked to experiences or emotions that have not yet come to light. As we reflect on experiences, anxiety is lowered or becomes easier to bear. This leads to a greater ability to meet life goals--when we tolerate anxiety well enough to sort out true needs from a desire to escape a bad feeling, we tend to move toward those goals.

I am trained in CBT, EMDR, Gottman method , & Attachment Based Therapy.
My therapeutic approach mainly focuses on helping my clients identify their strengths to help alleviate anxiety, depression, and trauma. I am a firm believer that our childhood experiences contribute to our beliefs, behavioral patterns, and selecting a romantic partner. Therapy is a process! To allow ourselves to be intimate and vulnerable with someone about our experiences and trauma can be daunting. As a therapist, it is my goal to help validate, create a safe environment and help understand aspects of lived experiences.

I have expertise in couple counseling using the effective Gottman Method Level Two training.
Do you feel so overwhelmed by your emotions that you no longer can tell if you control them or if they control you? Or do you feel unhappy, lonely or tired of getting into arguments with your spouse. Are you feeling frustrated when you aren’t feeling like yourself- worried, sad, or unmotivated? Depression, stress, and anxiety can affect everything from work to relationships, not meeting goals, or even trouble completing daily tasks. Sometimes it can be challenging to understand ‘why’ or what is causing the anxious feelings. Other times our relationship takes a toll and it can be challenging to communicate with our partner.

I have found the Gottman Method to be invaluable in my work with couples.
I am a licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 20+ years' experience. In my work with individuals and couples, I help them develop an awareness of the dynamics and internal forces that affect their interactions, which helps to free individuals from gridlocked patterns of conflict. During times of crisis, emphasizing the positive aspects of interactions helps to relieve anxiety, and fosters growth and connection with others. Effective communication skills and understanding of underlying needs decreases resentment, heals old wounds, and leads to more loving relationships.

I also have a background in integrative health and wellness, which can contribute to a more in-depth perspective on treatment. My style is collaborative, intuitive, direct, and non-judgemental, and I encourage clients to be true to themselves and transparent.

The Couples Enrichment Center is specifically designed for couples. We specialize in adults who were raised in dysfunctional families who want to have healthy adult relationships. We start with The Gottman Method which is the most empirically validated couples therapy used today. The Gottman's found that couples who stayed together all shared similar traits and behaviors; while couples who separated also shared similar traits and behaviors. Thanks to the thousands of the couples who came before, we now have specific interventions that can help you build a long lasting relationship and stay together.

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.
