Couples Beginner Bundle - $1895

10 Sessions

Ten sessions, including intake/feedback sessions, is often the point where couples begin to see meaningful change in communication, connection, and conflict patterns, based on research behind the Gottman Method. 

Extended Joint Intake Session - 90 minutes

The extended 90-minute joint intake session gives us space to understand your relationship history, goals, and patterns—and begin laying the groundwork for meaningful change. 

Individual Intake Sessions

Each partner also meets individually to share their personal perspective, history, and hopes for therapy—helping ensure both voices are heard from the very start. 

Gottman Relationship Checkup

Partners will take the Gottman Relationship Checkup—an online, research-based assessment that highlights strengths and challenges across key areas like communication, conflict, and intimacy, helping us tailor your therapy to address your needs and goals. 

Feedback Session

In the feedback session, we’ll review the results of your Relationship Checkup and intake, identify key themes, and outline a therapy plan that supports your goals as a couple. 

Gottman Relationship Builder

The Gottman Relationship Builder is a digital tool designed to strengthen your relationship between and beyond sessions. It includes research-based videos, exercises, and activities tailored to the challenges you’re working on in therapy—helping you integrate skills like communication, emotional connection, and conflict repair into daily life. As your therapist, I’ll guide you in selecting and applying the modules that best support your goals. 

Ongoing Sessions

Ongoing sessions focus on building and practicing Gottman Method skills in real time. You’ll learn how to apply tools like effective communication and conflict repair to your relationship’s specific challenges, with guided support that helps you develop confidence using these strategies outside of therapy. 

3 - 6 Month Reassessment

 At the 3 to 6 month mark, we’ll revisit the Gottman Relationship Checkup to assess progress, adjust goals, and ensure your work together is moving in a meaningful direction.
