Gottman Referral Network

About

At Joyful Attachment, I integrate two leading, research-based approaches to couples therapy: the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Together, these approaches provide a framework for understanding your relationship, identifying areas that need attention, and creating meaningful, lasting change.

My approach is structured, focused, and directive. I come to each session with a plan designed around your relationship’s specific needs, using research-based interventions to help you strengthen areas of difficulty and build on your existing strengths.

I believe we come to know ourselves through our relationships. The ways we are seen, understood, valued, and responded to by the people who matter to us shape our sense of who we are, how safe we feel in the world, and what we believe we are capable of. Even our most personal struggles are easier to carry when we do not have to carry them alone. When we feel safe, understood, and connected, we are better able to face difficult emotions, heal from painful experiences, and move toward the life and relationships we want.

Today, I work primarily with couples and individuals navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, disconnection, and relationship difficulties. At the heart of my work is a simple belief: we heal through connection.
