Gottman Referral Network

About

My speciality is working with couples in distress. I was one of the six original Master Clinicians, hand-chosen by John and Julie Gottman, at the start of the Gottman Institute.

John Gottman, PhD has said of my work that I am "{a}n extraordinarily gifted couples' therapist. I would send my own family to her in a heartbeat. I have great admiration for her abilities."

I am trained to lead the Art and Science of Love two-day workshop for couples, leading the first workshop off the West Coast.

My therapy approach is eclectic, drawing from sound evidence-based approaches—specifically the Gottman Method and Emotion Focused Therapy—as well as what I’ve learned through my 35 years of clinical practice.

My specialty is Marathon Couples Therapy, an intensive and focused therapeutic modality for you and your partner, designed to address your specific situation. My office is in Bellingham, WA.

I also offer an online couples workshop, A Mindful Love Course. It spans 5 weeks and is offered six times a year. You can learn more about that here: https://nwmarriagecounseling.com/a-mindful-love-course/
