Gottman Referral Network

About

I have been in practice for over 25 years helping individuals and couples to explore who they are, what they want, and how they love. In so doing, long-standing patterns, both within themselves and relationally, begin to change, leading to greater fulfillment, improved mood, and reduced distress. Looking at how past experiences may affect current ones helps one to make choices based on true needs and desires, lowers reactivity in relationships, and begin to resolve attachment injuries or trauma.
I use an integrative approach, drawing from psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, and cognitive-behavioral theory to address anxiety and the counterproductive ways in which we attempt to lower anxiety. In this way, individuals and couples experience more lasting relief.
I'm also a Level III trained Gottman therapist. This is a research-based method that provides couples with tools and relational skills to reduce reactivity and increase intimacy. It's a directive approach in which I help couples change long-standing patterns and begin to dialogue in ways that resolve old wounds and value each other more deeply.
