I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in couples therapy. As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I believe that healthy individuals make up strong marriages and strong marriages are at the center of strong and healthy families. The Gottman Method Couples Counseling is based on 30 years of research that Dr. John Gottman and his wife Dr. Julie Schwartz Gottman have compiled. From watching happy couples and distressed couples over a 20 year span, they know what couples are doing that keep them happily married. I can help you learn and practice these skills as well and you can be among the group of happily married couples.

I graduated from Washington University George Warren Brown School of Social Work. My diverse work experience has provided me with a broad range of skills that help me in private practice today. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. When I work with individuals, I try to lead them back inside themselves for the answers they are looking for. I believe that each individual knows what is best for them, therefore, I try to help them listen to that voice and support them while they follow it. I offer a highly personalized approach tailored to each client. With compassion, understanding and listening I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain the personal growth they are striving for.

As a Certified Gottman Therapist, I believe that healthy individuals make up strong marriages and strong marriages are at the center of strong families. My treatment approach as a marital therapist is to encourage each person to support and understand their partner. With compassion, understanding and listening I help couples understand themselves better and then be able to communicate what they need to their spouse. Each person in a marriage has to own their own role in the system and focus on becoming “the best spouse they can be for the marriage”. In using the Gottman model, we will work on enhancing the positive that is already occurring in the marriage and decreasing the negative interactions.
