 Gottman 7 Principles Educator: 
 
 I am writing to share some news about a class based on the internationally acclaimed research of Dr. John Gottman as presented in his New York Times Bestselling book The Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work, which I will be offering in the Seattle area. Classes will be offered frequently during the year, so please inquire about the current schedule. I have more detailed information about the classes I can send you upon request. 
 If a couple’s relationship is strong, this class will provide them with tools and insights to make their relationship even better. If a couple has a distressed relationship, this class can provide a road map for repair. In addition, I find that many clinicians and clergy members and their spouses attend our class as a means of personally experiencing the Gottman Method and find it to be personally enriching and a great professional resource. 
 It is my mission to reach out to couples in the Anacortes and nearby counties in order that they may benefit from the class’s research-based insights and tools. If you or a couple you know is interested in registering or finding out additional information about the class, please contact me via email from the Contact tab. 
 
 | October 30, 2025 Jim generously shares his humor and wisdom with compassion and respect. He creates a nurturing environment that encourages honesty, healing, and learning. Jim has supported me to accept my whole self, to connect with the good person I know myself to be, and to commit to choosing the life I want to live. —Mother and part-time student, Seattle 
 
 It’s has been great to work with Jim. He has a knack for cutting through noise and clutter to get to the heart of a matter—and then addressing whatever it is directly but with compassion. With those parts of myself I don’t like to look at, he’s been great at helping me see them and understand why they’re there. I’m making better choices now and becoming more fully the person I truly am. —Urban planner, Seattle 
 
 
 Ever since moving to a new city, I'd been wanting to find a therapist, but my work schedule was so hectic that I never had the time to either make an appointment or get to one. When Jim was recommended to me as someone who could offer counseling over the phone, I finally had an option I could work with! We clicked immediately. I was surprised to find that I felt even more comfortable opening up over the phone than I normally do face-to-face. From the very start, Jim was engaged, thoughtful, and caring, and I was able to spill my thoughts to him!
