In my work with couples, I use
Gottman Method
Couples Therapy (level three trained) and attachment-based interventions (EFT).
You are feeling alone and overwhelmed. You are anxious and the negative thoughts in your head are becoming louder and more difficult to control. Your sleep is poor and when you wake you feel tired already. You want help from a holistic perspective. I will teach you how to manage your mind and your nervous system so that you can function better during the day and sleep well at night. I will help you heal the root causes of your anxiety. Your relationships and your health will improve. A "fresh look" look at your difficulties might bring hope into a situation that you have considered to be hopeless.

Couples Therapy and primarly use
Gottman Method
Couples Therapy.
I work with individuals to address sexual health related issues that may be getting in the way of a healthy and satisfying sex life. I help couples to improve overall sexual health and connectedness, while also working to improve overall relationship satisfaction and communication. Issues may include: sexual pain, desire discrepancies, orgasm problems, discomfort with your body image, sexual boredom, etc. I recognize that change can be difficult and seek to provide the support you need to achieve your goals by listening to you, helping to identify the outcome you desire, and motivating you to reach your goals.

I help couples using the
Gottman method
, a data-driven approach, to improve connection and conflict management.
Relationships require continued trust, communication, and deep awareness of each other’s worlds. I work with couples, including polyamorous and non-monogamous, to build connection, trust, and intimacy in their relationships. I also help partners learn to manage conflict more effectively. I particularly love helping partners find ways to communicate about difficult and sensitive issues. This is especially important when partners struggle to connect around sexual wants and needs. These conversations need an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, and non-judgment, as partners learn to validate and respond to each other's sexual feelings.

I am a seasoned psychotherapist and owner of Valued Living Therapy, and I provide both individual & couples therapy. Together, we will examine what you'd like to change & accept about aspects of yourself, a relationship, and/or a difficult situation. In therapy, you will have the opportunity to learn how to cultivate distress tolerance, self-awareness, connectedness, and belonging in order for you or your relationship to thrive. I hold the perspective that identifying desired meaningful outcomes, a willingness to commit to intentionality, and living each day according to what we intrinsically value is our most important work.

The world is a challenging place as we learn about - or experience - harmful events. Perhaps you have uncertainties in work, a relationship, or otherwise. I understand that coping with your own personal challenges can be daunting at times. I effectively use feedback, self-evaluating questions, and reflection -- leading to happiness and fulfillment. I also tell my clients that I might have certain insights by looking at patterns, behaviors, and habits they don't realize are present. It's important to me that new beginnings come from within and not from my direct advice or influence. Sessions via computer and phone offered.

We hold trauma, grief, loss, and painful memories in our minds and bodies. If these issues aren't healed and released, they come out in painful and often destructive ways: Depression, anxiety, relationship issues, anger, struggles with parenting, substance abuse, isolation, fear, etc. People often feel "stuck" in these issues and are caught in cycles that are difficult to break free. These destructive and painful cycles can be broken and you can be enabled to thrive personally and in your relationships.

You've been through a lot of pain in your life, but nothing has stopped you yet. You've persevered and gotten this far. Yet you keep finding yourself stuck in the same patterns. Your history doesn't define you, but you can't seem to leave it behind either. When life is just too overwhelming you find yourself self medicating, overeating, overspending, or doom scrolling through social media just to get a few moments of relief. At times you get irritable, snap at your kids or your partner, or disengage altogether. You know there's a better life waiting for you, but it's so elusive.

Finding someplace safe to process trauma is surprisingly difficult. I have had therapists myself, who are kind and book-smart, but when they have no personal experience with it, I never quite felt safe with them. I am a trauma specialist (CPTSD, moral injury, victims of torture, victims of racism or sexism, survivors of other people's sociopathic behavior, DV, etc.). Currently I am 100% private practice/private pay. This means that there is no outside party who gets to limit session numbers or require immediate diagnostics. Clients do not have to tell me details about their traumatic event for us to work together and address it.

Evening and weekend appts; free consultations. Having faced pain and challenges in my own life, I am deeply invested in what's possible in therapy. I understand how intimidating and stressful it can be to find a therapist and begin. For now, I want you to know I am warm, calm, compassionate, non-judgmental, and direct, and take a collaborative and holistic approach. I work with individuals, couples, families, highly sensitive people, and also with one person on issues in a relationship, including midlife crisis and infidelity. If you need a new approach, a way forward, relief, support, or healing, I would love to help.

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.
