Are you getting the silent treatment?

If this is a regular occurrence in your relationship, you are not alone in your pain.

According to research conducted by The Gottman Institute:

  • Men will withdraw emotionally from conflict discussions, whereas women tend to remain emotionally engaged.
  • Results showed that 85% of stonewallers studied in the Love Lab were men.
  • However, when women stonewall, it was highly predictive of divorce.

I worked with men, women, couples, and families in Orange, Los Angeles, and Ventura counties in California for 25 years before closing my Clinical Psychology Practice in August 2021. I helped launch numerous Marriage Programs at local churches, training pastors, marriage mentor couples, and mental health professionals who needed help learning to work more effectively with couples.

Now living in Central Texas, I am dedicated to teaching and coaching around the world. My Education & Teaching Experience: In case you’re interested in the details … I earned my Bachelor of Arts (BA) in Psychology at MidAmerica Nazarene University, and my Master of Arts (MA) and Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) at Biola University.
