Gottman Method

I have completed Gottman training and work with relationship dynamics from the perspective of the Sound Relationship House lens. When asked Dr. Gottman stated he never had nonmonogamous relationships last long enough to study, fortunately I have that experience. I also utilize attachment theory and positive psychology approaches to relationships, building and supporting each other through strengths to growth.

The Gottman Method is an evidence-based method for partnered therapy. It is evidence-based and can be used in various types of partnerships, as well as with individuals as many issues brought into therapy are about relationships with other people. Some goals of this method are to reduce conflict, improve communication, increase intimacy, respect, affection, empathy and compassion within relationships.

Gottman Therapy is a research-based approach to couples counseling developed by Drs. John and Julie Schwartz Gottman. It focuses on building and maintaining a strong, healthy relationship through practical, evidence-based strategies. Central to Gottman Therapy is the idea of creating a Sound Relationship House, which includes fostering trust, enhancing communication, and managing conflicts constructively.

I am being trained in the Gottman Method to assist couples in developing friendship, conflict management, and creation of shared meaning. I help couples transform negative ways they communicate with positive interactions to help heal past resentments. The Gottman Method includes, "interventions designed to increase closeness and intimacy are used to improve friendship, deepen emotional connection, and create changes which enhances the couples shared goals. Relapse prevention is also addressed."

I will teach you and your partner skills and tools based in science so you can feel confidant in conflict and clear your communication.

The Gottman Method is the gold standard for couples therapy. The Gottmans are the leading researchers in the field of couples therapy. The communication tools that are contained in the theory are very tangible and accessible. So many new clients enter into couples therapy wanting to address communication issues and the Gottman Method provides a thorough framework to address the most common challenges in modern partnerships.

In my work with couples, the Gottman Method is central to my approach. I adapt their research, theory, and findings to work with LGBTQ+ and CNM couples.

I love working with couples with this evidence-based practice to develop trust and intimacy. We work on communication skills, clarifying expectations (and how to ask for needs and wants appropriately), and overall improving the relationship. This method is great for premarital counseling or relationships that have been together for 50 years and everything in between. I am familiar and competent with working with many different relationships, both traditional and nontraditional.

Secondary method I use with couples (after attachment- and somatic-based EFT). I have a standard foundation of training and experience in Gottman as an LMFT, and use these methods alongside an EFT framework. I am currently pursuing additional training in these specific approaches to best serve clients from a variety of helpful techniques.
