FIND OUT MORE

Largely inspired by the Gottman method, I strive to understand my client's needs, communication styles, and provide guidance to strengthen your bond.

Here are some ways I support couples and individuals with relationship concerns:

Effective Communication

I encourage open and honest communication between partners. Teach them active listening skills and help them express their thoughts and feelings in a respectful manner. Communication is key to resolving conflicts and deepening understanding.

Conflict Resolution Skills

I teach techniques for resolving conflicts constructively, such as using "I" statements, finding common ground, and seeking compromise. Taking a 20 minute break when things get heated is an essential tool.

Building Trust

I assist couples in building and maintaining trust in their relationship. This involves being reliable, honest, and supportive of each other. I help them work through trust issues if they arise, such as infidelity or breaches of confidence.

Quality Time and Connection

I encourage couples to spend quality time together and nurture their emotional connection. This could involve activities they both enjoy, regular date nights, or simply carving out time for meaningful conversations.

Regular Check-ins

I urge regular guided check-ins where couples can assess the health of their relationship and address any concerns or issues that may have arisen. This proactive approach can help prevent small problems from escalating into larger ones.
