Rebuild communication. Restore connection.
Integrating the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) — two well-researched frameworks, used together.
Supporting your journey together
Couples often seek therapy when they feel stuck in painful cycles — arguing about the same issues, feeling emotionally distant, or struggling to rebuild trust. Working with a therapist who integrates the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) offers the best of two highly researched and effective approaches to help couples create lasting change in both communication and connection.

Therapeutic orientation
My theoretical orientation as a couples therapist is grounded in both the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), integrating empirically supported strategies with an attachment-based, emotionally attuned framework. This blended approach lets me address both the behavioral and emotional dimensions of relational distress while fostering sustainable, secure connection between partners.
The Gottman Method
From the Gottman perspective, I focus on building a solid foundation of relational health through assessment and skill-building. I use Gottman interventions to help couples reduce conflict, improve communication, and strengthen friendship and shared meaning. The structured nature of this model gives partners concrete tools to recognize destructive patterns — criticism, defensiveness, contempt, stonewalling — and replace them with behaviors that promote mutual understanding and respect.
