Gottman Referral Network

About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (licensed in Texas, Utah and Florida) who has been drawn to the work of Dr. John Gottman since early on in my professional career. I have earned the distinction of Certified Gottman Therapist, am an Advanced Trainer and Consultant for The Gottman Institute and am thrilled to be bringing this method into my practice.

Through collaboration, I walk with my clients on the path of new skill development and emotional healing. I believe that each person has unique strengths and values that need to be supported and developed to foster lifelong health and happiness.

From a young age I was drawn to working with individuals to help them develop a sense of empowerment. Pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and Women’s Studies and a Masters of Social Work from the University of Utah, I began my career as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Before private practice, I directed a homeless shelter in the Washington D.C. area and worked with domestic violence and sexual assault survivors in various settings.

My extensive experience, allows me to work with a wide range of client issues. Valuing and supporting diversity, I provide a welcoming environment for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender clients. I am passionate about using Gottman Method™ Couples Counseling to help couples improve their relationship and heal from betrayals. I offer the Art & SCIENCE of Love Couples Weekend Workshop and Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 Gottman Method Couples Therapy training for clinicians. In addition, I am a consultant for clinicians working towards certification and am a supervisor for Social Workers working towards their clinical license. I see couples in person in Kingwood, TX and Galveston, TX and online from anywhere in Florida, Utah and Texas.
