Gottman Referral Network

About

If you are experiencing difficulties with your significant other, I can help as I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and extensively trained in the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. Since 1999, I have been successfully working with couples to help them improve their communication skills and conflict management strategies, heal from the trauma of infidelity, sexual issues, parenting struggles, blended family issues and repair other significant relationship injuries and work through other difficult issues such as separation and divorce management issues.

I use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy Model because it is rooted in decades of research and practice. Years of positive outcomes is what sets this method apart from other non-researched therapies. I have chosen this model because I want the best for you. Couples who I work with have the opportunity to complete an online, comprehensive (300+ questions), research-based assessment that screens for communication issues, turning towards behaviors, rituals of connection, sexual satisfaction and other dynamics that research has told us must be in good and healthy relationships. I specialize in working with couples via telehealth only.

I have my masters degree in Child Development and Family Studies (Marriage and Family Therapy) from Purdue University. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) in the states of IN, IL and FL and I am a Board Certified TeleMental Health (BC-TMH) professional. I am a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) and an AAMFT Approved Supervisor. I have also taught psychology and couples therapy courses at Purdue University Northwest at the undergraduate and graduate levels, have spoken nationally on the topics of healing from the trauma of infidelity, telemental health service delivery, clinical documentation, telesupervision and clinical supervision.
