I am a Gottman trained Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 35 years of experience in domestic violence victim services, juvenile justice and community mental health. My approach to work with couples involves an initial assessment and introduction of Gottman Method foundational principles. I am a believer in meeting couples where they are at, and working collaboratively to establish goals. Our group recognizes 4 possible goal areas for couples work: salvage the relationship, improve the relationship, heal from the trauma of infidelity and navigate divorce and separation.
