Gottman Method Therapists in Bryn Mawr, PA

Everyone has strengths that they can utilize and build off of in order to create the change they want. They may need me to help look inward and find them, but I believe strengths are there for everyone. I have been working in this field for over 10 years, and specifically working with individuals and couples in a private practice setting since 2010. During the therapeutic process, you will learn how your past impacts your current interactions, choices, and behaviors. You will learn to understand and identify what is keeping you from your ideal change and how to overcome unhealthy behaviors.

You’re working hard, wanting a good life, but you find yourself feeling dissatisfied and unfulfilled. Perhaps you’re unhappy in your relationship - feeling lonely, disconnected, and in a painful cycle of argument and withdrawal. Or perhaps you’re in a divorce, looking to start a new life but instead feeling overwhelmed by hostile communications from a difficult ex while also caring for anxious children stuck in the middle of their parents’ battles. And so many of us are feeling worried about the well-being of our loved ones, finances, and what the future holds.

Research consistently places the quality of the relationship between a therapist and client/patient as the biggest predictor of positive outcome in therapy. Carl Rogers defines a helping relationship as "]one in which at least one of the parties has the intent of promoting the growth, development, maturity, improved functioning, and improved coping with life of the other." What are the characteristics of those relationships that do help facilitate growth and those that don't?

It can be difficult to acknowledge that something in your life isn’t working the way you want it to. Taking the first steps in asking for help can feel overwhelming, but you are already on your way. I believe in the powerful transformational potential of therapy. I work to create a supportive, collaborative space to empower my clients to create positive change in their lives.
