Begin with clarity.

Rather than beginning with open-ended weekly sessions, we start by developing a clear picture of your relationship—its strengths, recurring patterns, areas of disconnection, and priorities for treatment. The assessment includes a joint relationship-history session, an individual meeting with each partner, the Gottman Relationship Checkup, and a feedback session in which we discuss what I have learned and the treatment plan I recommend. You will leave with a clearer understanding of what is happening between you and what meaningful change will require. This is a clinical assessment designed to guide couples therapy; it is not a forensic evaluation and does not assign blame.
