Lic.# MFC52717
I am passionate about helping others and my specialty is helping couples improve their relationship. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (MFC 52717) with over a decade of experience working with individuals, couples, groups and families. I am a Certified Gottman Couples Therapist and Art & Science of Love Weekend Workshop Leader. I am also certified to present Level 1 and Level 2 of the Gottman Method training sequence. In addition to my expertise in the Gottman Method, I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy and integrate it into my work.
I have experience with pre-marital couples, newlyweds, long-term relationships, affairs/betrayals, sexual dissatisfaction, and the transition to parenthood. I can help with improving communication and learning how to manage conflict productively. Together we will work toward strengthening your friendship, increasing positive interaction, improving intimacy and instilling hope for the future of your relationship.
My approach is gentle, supportive and empathic but I am direct when necessary. I believe in collaboration with my clients and I strive to make sure each partner feels heard and understood in each session. My goal is to provide clients with the tools they need so they can become the masters of their own relationship.
I utilize the Gottman Method in my work with couples simply because it is effective. I have seen it work with the couples that walk into my office and the knowledge I gained during my training helped strengthen my own marriage. There is nothing greater than being able to improve our understanding of our partner and ourselves so that our relationship may flourish. The Gottman Method provides the opportunity, structure and tools to reach your relationship goals and feel confident in maintaining a healthy, happy relationship.
