Couples therapy on a variety of issues
What makes relationships work well, versus fall apart?
I have been fascinated with relationships for many years, and work with couples going through a variety of challenges. It can be very powerful to have the presence of a neutral third party, helping each of you understand yourselves and your partner better. I help couples improve their skills at talking with each other about issues.
Many therapists say that they work with couples, but how much training do they actually have? I am a Certified Gottman Therapist (the highest level obtainable), a way of counseling with couples that was developed by world-renowned marriage researcher John Gottman and therapist Julie Schwartz Gottman. I have also completed a specialized Gottman training on treating affairs and trauma. For more information about the Gottman Method, see: www.gottman.com.
The Gottman Method involves a thorough assessment process: an initial joint session, individual sessions for each partner, and an online assessment called Gottman Connect. Next, there is a joint session to:
Review what the assessment process showed to be the strengths and challenges of your relationship, and to
Set goals for the things you want to work on, going forward.
Attend a fantastic Gottman workshop for couples! "The Art and Science of Love" two-day workshop is held in various locations around the country and online.
