I’m Ongisa, a Couple and Family Therapist with a specialty in human communication. I work extensively with individuals and couples. I often find that communication breakdowns are at the center of unhappy relationships. Poor communication can leave partners feeling unsafe, misunderstood, and exhausted. If you’re currently experiencing distress or a disconnect in a relationship that genuinely matters to you, then I’m your person.

As men, entrepreneurs and fathers we spend so much time caring for others that we often neglect ourselves. Constant emotional support, burnout, compassion fatigue, anxiety, relationship stress, career pressure, and feeling emotionally "on" for everyone else can become overwhelming.

I draw most heavily from Internal Family Systems for understanding parts of yourself, Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotional regulation, and Emotionally Focused Therapy and Gottman method for couples.
If your partner feels more like a roommate than the person you turn to first, you're not alone. My goal is to help couples rebuild the deep connection, trust, and emotional bond that make a relationship feel like home.
Most couples aren't failing because they lack effort or intelligence. They're caught in patterns that neither partner fully understands. My approach is grounded in helping you understand the hidden emotional dynamics beneath conflict—I call this the relational "upside down"—and give you practical tools to change those patterns and build healthier ways of relating.

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.
