Gottman Referral Network

About

My approach is straightforward, practical, and grounded in the Gottman Method. I use the Gottman assessment process to identify the core issues impacting your relationship so we can focus our time and energy where it matters most. Rather than spending months guessing what is wrong, the assessment helps create a clear roadmap for treatment and allows me to strategically introduce tools and interventions that support lasting change.

I believe that healthy relationships are built through intentional effort, increased understanding, and the consistent practice of new skills. My role is to help you and your partner strengthen communication, navigate conflict more effectively, deepen friendship and intimacy, and create the relationship you both want to have.

While relationship work can be challenging, I strive to create a warm, supportive environment where both partners feel heard and understood. I often use humor in therapy because laughter can be healing, help reduce defensiveness, and remind us that growth does not always have to feel heavy.

I also view people as whole individuals rather than isolated problems. Our relationships, mental health, physical health, stress levels, family dynamics, and life circumstances are deeply interconnected. The state of your relationship affects your overall well-being, and your overall well-being affects your relationship. By considering the whole person and the broader context of your lives, we can create meaningful and sustainable change that extends beyond the therapy room.

My goal is to provide compassionate guidance, practical tools, and a structured process that helps you move from feeling stuck to feeling more connected, understood, and confident in your relationship.
