Gottman Referral Network

About

Are you feeling hurt, betrayed, stuck, distant, or frustrated in your relationship? Most likely you and your partner are both struggling. Maybe you aren't having sex. Maybe intimacy has disappeared. Maybe there have been betrayals. Maybe you have the same fight over and over and feel exhausted, not sure if you even know what to do to make it better.

For over 40 years, the Gottman method has been developing and refining a step-by-step method that will put your relationship back on track.

Phase One is rapid relief. I will quickly identify your core issues and talk to each of you about the changes you need to make in a straight-forward, no-nonsense way. My approach is warm and collaborative: you’ll feel supported and understood, even when you’re feeling challenged.

Phase Two: relationship "boot camp". Research has discovered that the wide range of “bad” things that happen in relationships can all be traced to a single cause – deficiencies in a core set of abilities that are necessary for relationships to go well. In phase two, you’ll receive step-by-step guidance that will enable you to develop the full range of habits that are needed for your relationship to thrive.

Phase Three: creating a truly enjoyable relationship. In the last phase of couples therapy, you’ll become experts at sparking feelings of love and desire in each other, and you’ll engage in exercises that increase carefree, enjoyable moments. You’ll discover ways to open your hearts, allowing feelings of warmth, tenderness, affection, playfulness, sexual desire, and loving connection to increase.

I am an Educator and Trainer for The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, by John Gottman. I am also trained in The Developmental Model, and Pragmatic-Experiential Couples Therapy, which combines Attachment, Neurobiology, and Differentiation.

I offer a free consultation to see if we are a fit. I look forward to talking with you.
