Gottman Method

Completed Levels 1 and 2 Clinical Training of the Gottman Method Couples Therapy

Drawing from Dr. Gottman's research, I specialize in helping couples improve their relationships and increase satisfaction. Through assessment tools and evidence-based approaches, I identify relationship strengths and areas of growth, then guide couples in developing effective communication skills, conflict resolution strategies, and ways to enhance intimacy. I provide a safe environment for couples to foster their partnerships and promote long-term relationship success.

Gottman Method Couples Therapy uses 50 years of research on communication in relationships to help clients hear/understand each other, move past conflicts and misunderstandings, and develop greater intimacy, trust, and commitment.

"The goals of Gottman Method Couples Therapy are to disarm conflicting verbal communication, increase intimacy, respect, and affection, remove barriers that create a feeling of stagnancy in conflicting situations, and create a heightened sense of empathy and understanding within the context of the relationship." - John and Julie Gottman

Working with relationship is one of my favorite things to do. Often couples need support and I love offering that support! I have completed levels 1 and 2 of the Gottman training., as well as a 40 hour meditation training with Center for Conflict Resolution.

The Gottman Method was developed by John and Julie Gottman and is the result of over 40 years of research into relationship success. Interventions are based on this research and designed to strengthen the areas of friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning.

I am a Level 3 Certified Gottman Method Couples counselor who brings a strong feminist, emotion-focused perspective to supporting couples and relationships to have the tools they need to create the relationships they want.

When working with couples I primarily use the Gottman Method. Gottman Method focuses on helping couples increase respect and create an environment of appreciation for each other. As a result of this, couples tend to see an increase in intimacy and report that they are better able to navigate through conflict and are better able to process the aftermath of a conflict. Through the Gottman method couples gain education on relationships and learn skills to help them communicate and stay connected when experiencing stress or when they are in conflict. The Gottman method has a lot of data to support its efficacy which is one of the reasons I am such a fan of this approach.
