Gottman Referral Network

About

I'm trained in a variety and approaches and modalities, and with couples, my foundation is The Gottman Method. I am also a Certified Sex Therapist and find that for couples struggling with sexual issues, the combination of both approaches is incredibly powerful.

I bring a trauma-informed approach to all my couples work and am EMDR certified. I also believe it's critical to understand the innate challenges of behavior change, so I love sharing neuroscience-based behavior change strategies with my clients in a way that's approachable and highly applicable.

I am not a smile-and-nod therapist; I roll up my sleeves and get into the work with my clients. I balance directiveness and education with encouraging couples to learn and practice skills in my office that they can take home and implement on their own. Ultimately, my goal is to see couples thrive and put myself out of a job.

I'm also completing training in Discernment Counseling, which is a powerful approach for couples who are on the brink of divorce, especially when one partner is not feeling motivated to engage in traditional couples therapy.
