Gottman Referral Network

About

Let me guess—you start talking about dinner plans, and somehow it spirals into that same old fight. Before you know it, you're both frustrated, nobody feels heard, and you're left wondering, "How did we get here... again?"

Here's what I won't do: Turn our sessions into "relationship autopsies"—endlessly dissecting who said what and who's more wrong. You probably already litigate the hell out of everything at home. That gets you nowhere but exhausted.

Here's what I will do: Give you a real playbook with specific skills you can use immediately. No spinning the same wheel over and over. No talking feelings to death. Just practical strategies that actually work.

My approach? Warm but straight to the point. You get marching orders and structure, not more circular conversations that leave you drained.

After 15+ years teaching at NYU and using proven Gottman methods, I help couples break free from:

- Those exhausting cycles where you both end up feeling wounded and miles apart
- The painful invisibility of not feeling seen or valued by your partner
- Arguments that go from zero to nuclear in seconds flat
- The slow fade of physical and emotional closeness
- Trust issues after betrayal that seem impossible to repair
- Communication landmines when preparing for marriage
- The "who are we now?" questions during empty nest or retirement

You'll learn specific repair techniques that actually resolve conflicts instead of recycling them. Most couples tell me they notice real shifts within just a few sessions.

Picture having teammates again instead of opponents. Imagine walking through life hand-in-hand again, genuinely enjoying each other's company.
