The Gottman Method is a research-based approach to couples therapy that emphasizes building a strong and healthy relationship by improving communication, increasing intimacy, and resolving conflicts. As a practitioner of the Gottman Method, I'll provide you with personalized strategies and techniques to help you strengthen your relationship and deepen your connection with your partner.

Together, we'll use a variety of techniques and approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, positive psychology, mindfulness, and the Gottman Method, to help you cultivate greater self-awareness, resilience, and well-being.

We are very happy so far. Relatable, smart and present.

I was very fortunate to have found Kerry on our first 'try'. We started out as couples therapy, however, my husband was not as engaged and I have been able to continue with a therapist who sees the whole relationship picture. I would and have recommended Kerry to friends and loved ones. He is a gentle, caring and wise individual and I appreciate all he has helped me with so far!

Specializes in trauma and abuse and anger management but couldn’t help us out for couples counseling, it was a bit frustrating I’m in tears and really needed assistance. Now I have to wait to be paired with another counselor and for them to decide if we can talk about what we need help with.

Work with me!
