What is Gottman Method Couples Therapy?

Gottman Method Couples Therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach that helps partners feel more connected, understood, and secure in their relationship. Built on over 40 years of research, this method focuses on strengthening friendship, improving communication, and navigating conflict with empathy rather than escalation. Through guided conversations and practical exercises, couples learn tools that foster emotional closeness, respect, and long-term relationship stability. As a Registered Psychotherapist, my approach to individual therapy blends evidence-based strategies—such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and trauma-informed practices—with warmth, curiosity, and honest conversation. Together, we’ll look at the patterns that may be holding you back and develop practical tools to help you create meaningful change.
