Couples therapy
Gottman-informed work for real relationships.
I use practical, research-informed tools to help couples understand their patterns and build a stronger way forward.
Why couples-specific training matters
Couples therapy is different from individual therapy. Specialized training helps me understand the pattern between two people, not just each person’s separate experience. I chose to pursue it so I can bring a more structured, informed approach to the work we do together.
My Level 2 Gottman Method training gives me assessment tools and practical interventions for conflict, friendship, trust, and shared meaning. I continue to broaden that foundation through ongoing professional development.
What the Gottman Method helps couples do
The Gottman Method gives couples a clear way to understand conflict, strengthen friendship, repair after hurt, and build habits that support a lasting relationship.
It is not about handing you a script or deciding who is right. It is about helping you understand the pattern between you and practice a different way of responding.
My training and ongoing work
Are you trained in the Gottman Method?
Yes. I have completed Level 2 training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy. I will complete Level 3 training before beginning formal training in Terry Real’s Relational Life Therapy.
Are you a Certified Gottman Therapist?
No. Certification comes after Levels 1, 2, and 3, followed by an additional certification process. I will continue to deepen and broaden my training, and bring as many tools as possible into my work with couples.
