Gottman Referral Network

About

I use primarily the Gottman Method of Couples Therapy for couple counselling. I have the privilege of helping reconcile couples whose marriages/relationships, were on the brink of breakup as a result of infidelities or other issues, like for instance addictions. I believe that whatever the issues, the couple can work toward reconciliation and marital harmony. For the "healing" from betrayal we will work through Gottman's 3 steps: Atonement, Attunement & Attachment.
My areas of work include marriage preparation and family therapy. During the couple's counselling sessions, to make any meaningful headway, it may be necessary to engage in individual counselling. This may include resolving issues like mood [depression] and thought disorders, borderline personality, OCD, ADHD and others. With marital betrayals, it is often helpful to undergo grief therapy with me.
When there are betrayals in the relationship, the betrayed partner can be "traumatized" with PTSD symptoms. We will do an assessment using the DSM-5 (PCL-5) a PTSD Checklist for trauma. I can assist you in assessing the severity of the trauma you are experiencing as a trained trauma specialist. As a trained Multichannel Eye Movement, I will also be able to help resolve your trauma symptoms in an effective way.
Most of my counselling intervention is clinical. I also prepare couples for marriage, as a SYMBIS facilitator.
I am a firm believer that mental health is as important as physical health. I have embraced a Whole Food Plant Based Diet [WFPD] for 6 years. I am a certified whole food plant-based diet coach. I would be glad to share this with you for a wholesome diet.
