I’m a Certified Gottman Method Couples Therapist. I love working with couples. Couples just like you - missing out on the fun in life, feeling lonely, unappreciated, misunderstood, hurt, rejected, angry. Couples who are really doing their very best to make it work, but who keep ending up in the same old destructive patterns. You’re in the same house, but you feel miles and miles away from each other. You’re in charge, in control, and confident at work, but when you get home, these feelings start slipping away and you start wondering, "How did we get here?" "When did we start avoiding each other?" "I miss the way we used to be."
