They say it takes a village to raise a child. Yet here you are, somewhere on your parenthood journey, perhaps feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or unsupported, and wondering where your village is. Do you feel alone in the thoughts that you struggle with or the burdens you carry? Maybe you experience guilt or shame that your story doesn't look as you'd thought it would. You might feel that your cup is completely empty. Perhaps your relationship feels fundamentally changed, and you and your partner long to reconnect with who you used to be while building a more hopeful future.

When my clients come to me, they may recognize that something isn't quite right, and often are not sure what that "something" might be. They may have a mixed relationship with their past and struggle to integrate their experiences into a clear picture of their place in the world, or even to imagine a world where they can flourish. Sometimes they are aware of the specific traumas that have affected them, and sometimes all they know is struggle. My clients meet me with enough hope and courage to hold that first session, and I am privileged to walk with them from there.

Not accepting new clients
Temporarily NOT accepting new clients at this time... ... ... You are the most important person in the room and our partnership matters while on the therapy journey. Are you are having difficulty in making lemonade from life's-lemons, difficulty adjusting to changes, dealing with the unexpected stress of life? The therapy process is totally focused on the person, client...you. Expect a warm, welcoming and positive atmosphere where you are unconditionally received. I believe that many things can positively be affected when a person feels encouraged, believed in, and safe. I also enjoy a sense of humor, laughter and relationship.

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.
