Gottman Method

The Gottman Method is a popular and evidence-based approach to couples counseling developed by Drs. John and Julie Gottman. It is grounded in extensive research on couples' interactions and aims to help couples improve their relationships, resolve conflicts, and build lasting connections.

I specialize in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, focusing on strengthening relationships through improved communication, conflict resolution, and emotional intimacy. Using research-based tools, I help couples build trust, manage disagreements constructively, and deepen their emotional connection. Whether navigating challenges or simply seeking to enhance your bond, I provide a supportive environment to foster lasting, meaningful change and a healthier, more fulfilling partnership.

This was developed by John and Julie Gottman who are renowned couple's therapy experts. The method works by creating a deep intimacy between the two with a strong foundation of knowing and understanding one another and releasing ineffective ways of communicating and interacting. It increases awareness around common relationship pitfalls and create balance, equality, and friendship in even the most stale of marriages.

The Gottman Method was developed by John and Julie Gottman and is the result of over 40 years of research into relationship success. Interventions are based on this research and designed to strengthen the areas of friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning.

The Gottman Method is a specific form of couples counseling that addresses unhealthy conflict management and communication styles and helps couples to improve their intimacy, love, and respect for each other. The Gottman Method offers guided tools to assess the current state of your relationship and then together we create actionable steps to get you where you want to be in your partnership.

In my work with couples, the Gottman Method is central to my approach. I adapt their research, theory, and findings to work with LGBTQ+ and CNM couples.
