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 provides partners with concrete tools to recognize destructive patterns—such as criticism, defensiveness, contempt, and stonewalling—and replace them with behaviors that promote mutual understanding and respect.
