Relationships can be challenging, and family life can be stressful. Many of us struggle with communicating our feelings and needs to our partner or family. Miscommunication can lead to conflict, decreased intimacy, and loneliness. The Gottman method can help.

Relationships can be challenging and complicated. Many of us were not taught how to communicate effectively in a romantic relationship, which can lead to miscommunication and conflict. When our needs are not met in a relationship, anger can build and we can become resentful of our partner. As a trained Gottman Therapy Level III Therapist, Erika works with couples by helping them recognize and build on their strengths as well as develop better communication skills to bring them to a healthy place.
Parenting
Raising a well adjusted child is the hope of any parent. Try as we might, at times we will fall short. We may find that we need guidance in balancing our hectic schedule while at the same time providing the discipline and nurture that our children need to become successful.

There's no doubt about it, being a parent is the hardest job on earth. Many of us struggle with balancing parenting, work, and a relationship with our partner and friends. In today's world many parents have heightened anxiety and concern about the emotional well-being of their children. Some parents question their parenting decisions, are unsure of how to discipline effectively, or may be overly anxious about how their children are developing.
There is no shame in needing guidance or direction when it comes to parenting. When Erika started as a therapist, she often times would work with parents of the adolescents she treated. Erika understands the importance of helping parents find a parenting style that feels comfortable and authentic. She will work with parents and explore what needs to change in order for harmony to be restored in the family system.
