Gottman Method

I am being trained in the Gottman Method to assist couples in developing friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. I help couples transform negative ways they communicate with positive interactions to help heal past resentments. The Gottman Method includes, "interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhances the couples shared goals."

I will teach you and your partner skills and tools based in science so you can feel confidant in conflict and clear your communication.

This approach is based on Dr. John Gottman’s 40 years of research investigating and defining behaviors and communication skills found in healthy, long-lasting relationships. I work with couples to identify these communication patterns that are blocking them from forming a deeper connection and instead work to learn new ways of interacting that are statistically proven to improve relationships and promote healing and connection.

I am trained in Gottman Level 1 &2.

I am a Certified Gottman Method Couple Therapist, #406.

Relationships are integral to our lives, so I have attended levels 1, 2, and 3 of Gottman training so I can offer their well-researched interventions to couples, as well as to individuals who want to add skills to their interactions with partners and loved ones.

The Gottman Method is excellent at helping couples improve communication. It helps couples reduce their negative reaction to each other, recognize problematic communication patterns and practice using more effective communication.

I am a Level 3 Trained Gottman Therapist working towards certification. The Gottman Method, from my experience, is one of the most effective modalities in helping couples resolve significant and long-lasting problematic areas in their relationship.

Completed Clinical Level One and Level Two of Gottman Method Couples Therapy through the Gottman Institute.

Gottman Therapy is a research-based approach to couples counseling developed by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman. It focuses on building and maintaining a strong, healthy relationship through practical, evidence-based strategies. Central to Gottman Therapy is the idea of creating a Sound Relationship House, which includes fostering trust, enhancing communication, and managing conflicts constructively.

I have completed Gottman training and work with relationship dynamics from the perspective of the Sound Relationship House lens. When asked Dr. Gottman stated he never had nonmonogamous relationships last long enough to study, fortunately I have that experience. I also utilize attachment theory and positive psychology approaches to relationships, building and supporting each other through strengths to growth.

The Gottman Method is a specific form of couples counseling that addresses unhealthy conflict management and communication styles and helps couples to improve their intimacy, love, and respect for each other. The Gottman Method offers guided tools to assess the current state of your relationship and then together we create actionable steps to get you where you want to be in your partnership.

With the Gottman Method, we embark on a journey based on over four decades of research on thousands of couples. This method provides practical tools to help you understand your relationship dynamics, manage conflicts effectively, and enhance the intimacy, respect, and affection you share with your partner. Together, we'll explore the 'Sound Relationship House,' which serves as a roadmap to achieve relationship harmony. It's not just about addressing issues; it's about building a foundation.

I love working with couples with this evidence-based practice to develop trust and intimacy. We work on communication skills, clarifying expectations (and how to ask for needs and wants appropriately), and overall improving the relationship. This method is great for premarital counseling or relationships that have been together for 50 years and everything in between. I am familiar and competent with working with many different relationships, both traditional and nontraditional.
