Gottman Referral Network

About

I specialize in individual and couples therapy. I also offer 2-day workshops for couples to enhance or repair their relationship. I have very special training as Alabama’s first and only Certified Gottman Therapist. My therapy is research-based, feels down to earth, and makes common sense.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 19 years of clinical experience. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I am an extremely effective couples therapist. It has also given me a distinct advantage as an individual therapist. My understanding and attention to the relational issues we all have influences and improves my individual work.

I believe people come to therapy feeling alone, demoralized, and discouraged. Many people avoid seeking professional help because of fear of the unknown, the idea that “something must be wrong with me,” a bad previous experience, or privacy concerns. It is my highest priority to provide you with a safe, supportive, and confidential environment.

I believe that therapy is collaborative, respectful, and should provide a powerful structure to help individuals and couples discuss sensitive issues. My office assistant, Andrea, and I make it our highest priority to provide a caring, confidential, and respectful atmosphere from your first phone call. Our clients say our office is warm and cozy.
