I have been trained in Gottman Method Couples Counseling. Gottman Method Couples Counseling has 40+ years of research focused on what can make a relationship successful or unsuccessful. The Gottman Method is assessment-based, which means you and your partner will be asked to fill out a questionnaire to better understand the strengths in your relationship, as well as the areas for needed improvement. This becomes our “roadmap” to moving forward in couples counseling.


The Gottman Method evaluates many things, including the “friendship” in your relationship, whether you have a generally positive or negative perspective in handling conflict, how you move through conflict (along with practical conflict resolution skills), intimacy/connection, how you honor life dreams together, and how you create shared meaning in your relationship. We also look at the levels of trust and commitment in your relationship, working through any betrayals of trust and/or questions of commitment.

Gottman Method Couples Counseling can be beneficial to both married couples as well as pre-marital couples who are looking to build a solid foundation for their relationship. Pre-marital counseling may also include other resources/activities meant to prepare the couple to take the next step in marriage.
