Gottman Referral Network

About

Many couples find themselves stuck in the same painful cycle - arguing about the same things, feeling increasingly unheard, and worrying that the distance between them is growing. Beneath the conflict is often something much more vulnerable - a longing to feel understood, valued, and securely connected.

As a Level 3 trained Gottman therapist, I help couples understand the research-backed patterns that strengthen or erode relationships. Together, we work to improve communication, manage conflict more effectively, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional and physical closeness. Couples learn practical tools to fight right, reduce reactivity, and move toward more respectful and productive conversations.

I also draw on Emotionally Focused Therapy, which helps partners slow down and explore the emotions beneath their reactions. When we understand what's happening underneath anger, withdrawal, or defensiveness, meaningful change becomes possible. Conflict becomes less about winning and more about understanding.

Many couples come to therapy at a turning point - not because things are hopeless, but because they're ready to try something different. I also work with individuals seeking greater self-awareness and clarity in their relationships.

My role is to help you understand your impact on each other, repair what's been damaged, and build something more secure. Sessions are collaborative and grounded in compassion.

The goal isn't just fewer arguments - it's a relationship where both of you feel truly known.
