Gottman Referral Network

About

As a Registered Social Worker for 14 years, I have focused on counseling individuals, couples, and families with relationship issues and personal struggles with anxiety, depression, trauma, and stress. In couples work, I use a Gottman Method Couples Therapy approach. Blended families and those dealing with the effects of disabilities are interests of mine.

Effective relationships are central to our well-being. When our relationships are not going well, we can become lonely and isolated, and our mental health suffers. Seeking professional help to look at how we function in our relationships and the impact that they have on us and we on them, can open possibilities for growth. By recognizing the present-day impact of past events, by focusing on our goals for the future, and by changing unhelpful thinking patterns, we can find a path to improved relationships and achieve better mental health.

When we work together, my approach is non-judgmental, unbiased and objective. I listen with empathy and compassion. My perspective and input are informed by my personal and professional experience.
