As a Certified Gottman Leader, I'm happy to offer this couples workshop in various formats online and in person.
Online Couples Workshops
Formats:
- Weekly (10 sessions) 60 minutes*
- Booster session (single topic) 90 to 120-minute

*Weekly workshops cover the Seven Principles and contain more relationship exercises.
**Single 1 to 2 hour workshops will cover select topics and exercises. I can also deliver weekend/multi-day workshops of 1 to 4 hours on a much wider selection of topics and exercises.
Bring the Seven Principles couples workshop into your community space or church to help your relationship thrive and survive the challenges of a joined life.
** This workshop is for all couples (dating, premarital, married), sexual orientations and identities. **
This workshop is for you if...
...You are in a committed relationship, engaged, or married and want to build a strong foundation for your future
...You enjoy your relationship and want to make it great
...You're tired of fighting with your partner, exhausted from the cycle of emotional ups and downs
These workshops combine teaching & demos with one-on-one exercises for couples to focus on their relationship in real time. Confidentiality is strictly maintained and sharing is completely optional.
Couples will learn & practice research-proven tools to:
- Strengthen your friendship
- Create intimacy and closeness
- Build on trust and commitment
- Identify solvable & perpetual problems
- Compromise effectively and resolve conflict
- Communicate clearly and effectively and feel heard and understood
- Get more of what you want in your relationship
The Gottman Seven Principles program is designed for all couples in a committed relationship, including:
- Pre-engaged couples considering marriage
- Engaged, premarital and married couples
- Those needing better conflict management skills
- Those considering couples therapy but who aren't "ready" for weekly therapy yet
- People of all ethnic backgrounds, ages, faiths and sexual orientations
*If you are dealing with emotional abuse, domestic violence, unwanted touch, or substance abuse, this class is not appropriate, and you should instead seek individual or couples therapy.
