Couples Therapy

I work with couples to improve their relationships; addressing issues such as communication difficulties, conflict resolution skills, and parenting skills. Having trained with Drs. John and Julia Gottman through the Gottman Relational Institute in Seattle and in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, I have developed techniques in facilitating the maintenance of functional and healthy partnerships. Relationships are complex as two very unique and separate individuals come together for mutual benefit. Challenges can arise with the demands of children, work, family or other stressors. My role as a couple's therapist is to heighten communication skills, and to facilitate conflict resolution and growth of the relationship.
