We employ an integrative approach, drawing primarily from the Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy. The Gottman Method emphasizes enhancing the couple's bond through friendship, conflict resolution, and mutual understanding. Meanwhile, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy recognizes that relationship challenges stem not only from partners' actions but also from their emotional responses to each other. Studies indicate that nearly two-thirds of couples experience improvement through these therapeutic methods. This process allows for tangible adjustments to meet your partner's needs and fosters deeper emotional connection and acceptance between partners.

Additionally, we integrate mindfulness and acceptance techniques to address unproductive thoughts and beliefs surrounding sleep.

We employ cognitive-behavioral techniques alongside mindfulness and acceptance practices to aid in the management of chronic pain.
