My first passion has always been couples therapy. I've aided clients struggling with infidelity, high conflict, parenting issues, mental health diagnoses, substance abuse, and sexual problems. I also have significant experience with individual and family therapy. Even when I am doing individual therapy, I am exploring the larger systems that people live in in order to improve their relationships and overall well-being.

Family and relationships are the most important things in our lives, but they can also be the place where we find most hurt and need the most healing.

Regardless of the times, the circumstance or the individual, building a relationship with trust, value and efficacy matters. We also believe that this can look different for everyone. Given that, it is important that prior to finding the right therapeutic approach that meets your specific needs, we must first develop a mutual understanding and rapport with one another that feels supportive in moving forward. Next, it will become our responsibility to listen and understand what it is you would like to address and what your goals are. Your voice, experiences, and perceptions will lead us through this process.

Hi, I’m John. I love to work with couples, and will also work with individuals looking to improve their relationships, especially with the hope (but not the requirement) their partner will join us. Does your relationship with your partner seem like a constant challenge to make it work, to see each other as you once did? I can help you understand what is going on between you, to communicate in a way that gives you each a broader perspective on your relationship so that you can learn to know what each other feels and find a way to work together as a team to make your relationship more fulfilling and less stressful.

I am guessing your plate is now a platter and things are falling onto the floor, including your resilience. You want help but you don't want to burden others. Also, you are not even sure exactly what kind of help you need. You just know what you are doing isn't working and you want to get back to yourself. I truly get it...and I can help. Check out my website and learn more about me. If it resonates, then schedule a consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I know that this is tiring; you do not have to do this alone.

Although our romantic relationships can be a great source of happiness, they can also cause significant distress. I work with my clients to help them to create, sustain, and strengthen these important connections. Many couples I work with say they want to improve their communication, address recurring fights, navigate important decisions, or just feel closer and happier with each other. If this sounds like your relationship goals, then couples therapy may be a good path to take!

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.
