My approach with couples starts with a place of compassion, non-judgement, non-bias and inviting an exploration into the systemic aspects of their relationship. I find it is important to have couples dive deeper into the history and foundation of their relationship. From there, it becomes a process of peeling back the layers to uncover values, love language, goals and finding solutions for deeper ways of reconnection. A deeper focus for couples is to explore times in their lives when they are feeling lost, trapped, or unable to find peace in their lives. While it may feel impossible, I believe all people have immense strength. My training is mainly using the Gottman Method. I am a level 2 Gottman clinician in couples therapy. I look deep into what is called the sound relationship house. This looks into friendship, fondness and admiration, turning towards, conflict resolution, positive/negative sentiment, shared values and making life dreams come true. My goal as a therapist is to help facilitate this everlasting growth and change. There are three important parts in therapeutic change and healing which exist within each individual and the couple. My systemic background encourages each individual to look within themselves for their emotional needs as well as areas that they can grow in.
