As we go through time, we encounter many life transitions: starting a new relationship, moving or altering living arrangements, getting a new job, or any other life changes. Sometimes these transitions can impact other areas of our lives and even cause us to feel stuck at times. Unaddressed feelings can sometimes correspond to relationship issues and emotional regulation. Therapy is a great tool for processing through these things. My counseling approach is geared towards helping individuals, couples, and families grow! If you think I may be a good fit for your therapeutic journey, contact me to schedule a 15-min phone consultation.

Life provides us with so many experiences, both good and bad, and they all matter. There are times where we find ourselves unhappy or stuck, and unable to move forward toward what we want in life. Scheduling with a professional is a first step, and it's very much worth it. Friends and have family have told you, or you are feeling that it's time, on your own. We are unique, our experiences are our own, and there is no “one size fits all” when it comes to mental health. My approach to therapy is person-centered and integrative. It is important that you feel seen and heard, which often gets lost in today’s society.

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.
