My counseling theories used during therapy include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Therapy, Transactional Analysis, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and
Gottman Method
.
None of my clients are failures or broken because they choose to come to counseling. In fact, I believe everyone grows up learning unspoken rules about what they should and shouldn’t do as a decent human being, when in reality, there’s a lot of rules that simply need to be readjusted. If you're currently struggling with your past, present, or future, let me take some of the burden off your shoulders. I currently am scheduling individual adults, college students, and teenagers. I especially love to help individuals struggling with dating/relationships issues and folks with low self-esteem/confidence.

Caring for your loved one and watching them deteriorate before your eyes is not easy. Dementia, cognitive decline and older-adult life transitions require a special skillset that needs unparalleled patience and support. I know how difficult it is finding that right person to care for your loved one. Look no more.

You knew that marriage was going to be hard, but this is ridiculous! It’s not supposed to be THIS hard. There’s just too much bickering, irritability, and frustration. And when you fight—all bets are off and anything goes. It takes days of silence before you recover. You wanted a relationship that eased your burdens, not make life more complicated. You worry that you will stop liking each other. And you will lose the love. But deep down, you really want this to work. You want a closer, deeper relationship. There's hope: you don't have to live this way. You CAN have a great relationship.

You might be feeling any combination of the following: stuck, overwhelmed, dissatisfied, unbalanced, just going through the motions, unfulfilled, frustrated, etc. Something is standing between you and leading a life that you’re proud of. You are unsure where to begin but know you're ready for change. Here's where I come in: I help convince young professionals (young adults/millennials, primarily) that they are ALREADY worthy. And then they start to actually believe it themselves. You are not alone and together, we can unpack, unlearn, and begin to embody exactly what you desire. Unsure of what you want exactly? I can help there too.

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.
