What if you woke up one morning and found yourself living your best life? What would that be like for you? Would you be emotionally, spiritually and mentally balanced as that means for you? Would the experiences from your past that you secretly harbor no longer have power over you? Would you be able to dream again? Would you and your family know how to handle conflict and be able to enjoy life together? Would you and your significant other have a relationship where both of you felt heard and cared for emotionally, physically and spiritually? Would the noise of life be quiet enough for you to plan your day and set obtainable goals?

Hello, I'm Peggy. At different times in life, we all experience frustration, pain, disappointment, illness, loss, rejection, and failure. Especially when going through major life transitions, life can be difficult to navigate. I focus on working with adults, using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients live meaningful lives despite – or even because of – their struggles. At its core, ACT is all about embracing the full spectrum of human experiences – the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. It’s not about eliminating negative thoughts or feelings (spoiler alert: that’s pretty much impossible). It’s not about fixin

I’m so glad you’re here.
I specialize in working with Black women and LGBTQ+ clients who appear high-achieving on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally disconnected, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them.
Many of the clients I work with are navigating hyper-independence, burnout, relationship and intimacy challenges, or questions around identity and sexuality. Life may look “together” from the outside, while internally you’re carrying too much alone, struggling to slow down, or finding it difficult to fully let others in.

Hello, I'm Angela. I began my career in marriage and family therapy after raising three children and following my military husband around the world. My journey into this field was driven by a deep desire to support military families, including couples counseling, divorce, and blended families. For several years, I concentrated heavily in this area, and in the last three years, I have shifted my focus to working with military veterans, particularly in trauma work. Additionally, I have expanded my practice to counsel a wider population of people through online formats.

Hi, I’m Lauren — I’m really glad you’re here.
My work is rooted in a deep belief in the dignity, resilience, and worth of every person who walks through my door. My Christian faith shapes the way I see people — with compassion, curiosity, and hope — but I never assume my clients share those beliefs, nor do I bring faith into the room unless someone specifically asks for it. What matters most to me is creating a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported, no matter your background or worldview.

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.
