A structured, research-based approach

Dr. Tania has completed Level 1 and Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and uses it in her work. Both brief and longer-term therapy are available.

Phase 1, assessment: four sessions that include a joint intake, an individual interview with each partner, and a feedback session that results in a treatment plan with agreed goals.

Phase 2, intervention: skills-based work to strengthen friendship, appreciation, intimacy, communication, conflict management, commitment and trust.

She blends the Gottman Method with attachment, relational and family systems ideas and trauma-informed care. All couples are welcome, and she respects how partners define their relationship. Premarital counseling is also offered.
