Couples Counseling- Using Gottman Couples therapy method 

Let's be honest, even the best of relationships need an oil change every now and then.  Whether you are working through communication breakdowns or infidelity, I will support you in facilitating difficult conversations.  I will help guide you to notice and become aware of unnoticed emotions (anger and sadness, fear and shame) and how to communicate these emotions to promote security, validation and warmth.  

I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and primarily see couples in my practice. Using Gottman Method Couples therapy is different in that couples get a full assessment of their relationship to guide our treatment plan together.

The Relationship Assessment

Created by Drs. John and Julie Gottman in collaboration with The Gottman Institute, the Gottman Relationship Checkup is a new, clinical tool designed for use by clinicians in a therapeutic setting with couples.  This is typically completed by the couple after the first session, prior to the individual sessions.  The assessment not only automatically scores a relationship’s strengths and challenges, but also provides personalized feedback for effective intervention.  After completing the assessment, the results will be read during the feedback session to create a personalized plan for couples therapy. Click here for more information.
