Gottman Couples Therapy

You might be a couple that is feeling stuck or desiring more satisfaction. It is ironic that our deepest desires for love and connection can also be blocked by the most anxious and painful experiences. I have seen couples work through difficult patterns, overcome betrayal and breathe through tough situations.

As a couples therapist I have seen many couples over the years and have landed on the Gottman Method as a highly effective way to work with stuck relationships. This method is based on 50 years of evidence by the Gottman Institute where patterns of successful relationships have been identified and offered as mindset shifts and practical skills building.  This is a method that has seen evidence based effectiveness across diverse cultures, neurodiverse couples and across the LGBTQIA+ 🏳️‍🌈 communities.  I was trained to use the Gottman Method at the Gay Couples Institute and under the mentorship of its founders, I served queer couples for a number of years


Some examples of issues I have experience with:

Adult ADHD relationships

Substance Abuse in relationships

Trauma in relationships

Betrayal and affairs

Challenges with intimacy

Communication challenges

Sex Positivity

Negotiation of poly or open relationships 

Aside from the Gottman Method I also use approaches and techniques from other modalities, such as Transactional Analysis, Mindfulness Based therapy,  Emotionally Focused Therapy and Relational Therapy. 

The process of this therapy is as follows:

Step 1: Relationship Check Up

Step 2: The Work

Step 3: Post Work Check Ups
