Gottman Referral Network

About

I assist couples sharing a shattered life who can’t process a conflict without extreme dysregulation in their relationship. Allow me to share knowledge and develop a plan toward peace.

I work collaboratively with you two in designing the focus and goals of sessions. Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy and a base of Christian foundation guide the work. Many of my couples work together or have intense careers to navigate.
Your sessions will be via telehealth or in a comfortable professional office space in Liberty Township.

Your choice is 1 hour to 4 day session.

Here are some frequently asked questions.
1. Do you meet with individuals?
A: At times, yes. Solo sessions are helpful when stuck. I provide solo sessions to each partner and then return into couples session allowing the most growth and lowered defenses.

2. Where are you located?
A: Online. Also, for those who want face to face, I am located on the north side of Cincinnati in the offices of Liberty Center.

3. What will happen at the first session(s)? A: Building safe and comfortable connection (virtually or in person.) We spend a session as a couple, and then in solo sessions discussing life events, your marriage successes, challenges, and goals for living a strong flexible relationship with your spouse. I will introduce Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy as the foundation for our direction.

3. What is in marathon sessions? A: A burst of therapy with clear communication for both people to understand each other and discover skills to use in daily living.

4. What is expected of me? A: You being you. And a wish to see different ways to interact, open to sharing within a safe environment. You know growth is possible (or you desire to have me share my hope for growth.) You want skills to experience more peace.

I believe in learning, understanding, and adjusting to meet your progress goals. Let's connect! I'm open to finding what will work well for you.
