We employ an integrative approach that combines elements of Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy. Gottman Method focuses on enhancing friendship, managing conflicts, and fostering shared meaning within relationships. Meanwhile, Integrative Behavioral Couples Therapy acknowledges that relationship challenges stem not only from partners' behaviors but also from their emotional responses to each other. Studies indicate that nearly two-thirds of couples experience improvement through these therapeutic methods. By embracing concrete changes and demonstrating increased emotional acceptance, partners can better meet each other's needs.

Our approach to treating insomnia revolves around Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), a highly successful method (with 50-75% of patients experiencing meaningful enhancements in sleep). Collaboratively, we'll establish a tailored sleep regimen, enhance your sleep habits, pinpoint and address behaviors exacerbating insomnia, cultivate relaxation techniques, alleviate bedtime anxiety, and mitigate concerns about sleep using mindfulness and acceptance techniques to navigate unproductive thought patterns surrounding sleep.
