Gottman Referral Network

About

You may have heard the wise advice, “relationships take work”, and while this is true- sometimes more and sometimes less- this guidance doesn’t tell us how exactly to do this. I thoroughly enjoy working with couples and coaching them on use of Gottman’s practical methods to achieve healthy communication and skills to manage conflict. My approach in counseling is to work with couples to identify and understand unhealthy relational patterns, which are constructed in early life experiences and attachments, to deepen understanding of our partners in life and love and to replace damaging practices with repairing ones. I also bring in trauma expertise, as a certified EMDR therapist, to educate partners on how trauma can impact our relationships.
