Certified Gottman Therapist & Master Trainer with the Gottman Institute
Are you and your spouse or partner having a difficult time? Are you experiencing diminishing trust, intimacy, or friendship in your relationship?
Jonathan has trained extensively with Drs. John and Julie Gottman, who are known worldwide for their groundbreaking research and insights into what works in couples therapy. Based in Louisville, Kentucky, Jonathan is one of only 25 Gottman Institute Master Trainers worldwide.
This method is based on the research and therapeutic experience of Drs. John and Julie Gottman that began in the 1970s and continues to this day. The Gottman method focuses on what makes relationships last happily and creates a safe place for partners to learn to interact more lovingly during sessions. Jonathan will serve as your facilitator, equipping you with research-based ways of not only expressing your feelings and needs, but also attending and responding to your partner’s feelings and needs. From the Gottman Institute’s deep observational research, you can learn and/or reclaim your sense of friendship with each other. Rekindle feeling liked, admired, and cherished, even when navigating conflict. Jonathan will help you understand and maximize your relationship’s strengths and also lovingly navigate its vulnerabilities and challenges with a sense of togetherness. Build or return to a sense of
“We are together vs. our challenges”.
Are you and your partner in a healthy relationship?
Maybe you’re not sure… maybe you’ve been too busy to notice. But if you want to know for sure, take the quiz!
It’s quick and easy—just a few questions that will give you an instant rating of your relationship health. It’s like a check-up for your relationship.
