In couples therapy I use what is called the Gottman Method to aid a couple's relationship toward harmony.
I believe that everyone can rise above their struggles and find healing and meaning in their life. No one should live with mental health, or relational issues alone. I believe that counseling is a partnership in which we are fellow travelers for a short time while we journey to discover how to use the resources you have, to accomplish your mental health or relational goals. My main scope of practice is in both couples and trauma therapies.

Some of what I currently offer and am trained in is trauma informed care, EMDR, Gottman Method for Couples Therapy, DBT skills, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that has been in practice since 2005. I work primarily with individuals and families; age 12 and above. My focus includes, but is not limited to, depression, anxiety, and trauma. As a therapist, I work to get at the root of the problem, not just teaching you how to cope with the problem in the moment. I do believe in a mind/body/spirit balance, so taking care of yourself outside of our sessions is just as important as the work we do during sessions. My goal for every client is to grow as a person and achieve your goals so that I, as your therapist, become obsolete.

Everyone else is making progress in life while you’re standing still. Painful reminders sit like a suffocating weight on your chest, preventing you from taking action. The nagging voice in your head never lets up. “You’re not good enough. Just give up already.” The worst part is you’re starting to believe it. You don’t feel worthy of love, so you settle for unfulfilling relationships. You’re so stuck in the past that it’s impossible to focus on the future. There must be more to life than this! You know that something needs to change.

The most difficult part of counseling is asking for and admitting that we need help. Sometimes we lack the vocabulary necessary to identify what is wrong, sometimes we feel overwhelmed by stress and struggle, or perhaps we feel invisible and unheard or silenced. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you face these types of difficulties, to help provide clarity in the confusion, comfort in the trouble.

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.
