Gottman Method

Couples Counseling is where both parties start the process of building a foundation of mutual respect and desire to intentionally hear one another. You don’t have to be in crisis in your relationship to desire to have the opportunity to work on communication around finances, shared responsibility, transition to parenting, intimacy, conflict- you name it, we’ve worked on it before in couples therapy.

I utilize Gottman Method with couples in order to ensure couples have tangible research based coping skills to improve their relationship quickly and effectively.
