You'll describe to me where you're stuck in your relationship, your history together, and what your goals and dreams are going forward. I will help you in three main areas to:
1) Increase and rebuild the friendship, good feelings, and mutual respect between the two of you;
2) Improve your conflict regulation skills on problems you can solve, help you understand and talk about the difficult problems you are really stuck on, and decrease harmful, painful interactions.
3) Create or rediscover the shared meanings, values and dreams between you that make a relationship rich and fulfilling.
We'll begin with a complete relationship assessment spanning three "double" sessions. As I get to know you, you have time to think, reflect, and perhaps see your relationship through fresh eyes.
I'll meet with the two of you together, as well as each of you alone once, and you'll complete a comprehensive set of questionnaires.
We wrap up the evaluation phase with another double session with the two of you, in which we discuss your strengths, the areas of your relationship that need work, and what a plan for therapy would include. Assuming we're on the same page, we'd then begin therapy.
My greatest enjoyment and fulfillment in therapy is working hard with couples on the path towards intentional, mindful connection with one another. I look forward to assisting you in developing a relationship that nourishes and enriches your life journey, and witnessing the experience of your growth together.
When the two of you are able to truly be there for each other, your relationship can become a springboard to reaching for your higher goals in life. When you know your partner has your back, you're even more free and empowered to discover your ultimate paths and journeys.
The Gottman Method was developed by John Gottman, Ph.D., after his many years of research with couples. He has learned the differences between couples with successful relationships, and couples whose relationships end in divorce, or are unhappy for years. It is a practical method, helping couples to improve their friendship, conflict regulation skills, and build deeper meaning between them. This builds increased intimacy, affection and collaboration in small steps, which leads to greater satisfaction over time.
Couples Wait an average of six years, according to research, after they first notice their relationship is developing problems, before seeking the help of a couples therapist. It's never too late, but the sooner you start, the more effective therapy can be.
My office is a safe place to rebuild trust, to reconnect with your partner, and to craft a relationship that sustains the two of you. While I sometimes listen quietly while the two of you discuss an issue, I will jump in and interrupt if conversations begin to build and shift into arguments. In my office, and at home, you'll learn how to stop before arguments escalate into unpleasant conflicts, and how to return to a better discussion when you're both ready.
