Couples Therapy
Do you long to regain the passion and connection that you once had in your relationship?
Do you experience frequent conflict with your partner and feel like you are getting stuck in the same fights over and over with no resolution?
Do you feel unheard and misunderstood by your partner, and struggle with how to communicate with one another?
Do you feel discouraged and drained, unsure of what can help your relationship and where to go from here?
While each couple may come in to therapy with a unique set of issues and experiences- they all share the desire to feel loved, connected, accepted and understood by their partner-
to experience their relationship as a safe harbor, a soft place to land, in a world that can be stressful and uncertain.
I welcome all types of couples in my practice- whether they are married, engaged, dating, straight, LGBTQ, monogamous or polyamorous- to help them regain that sense of safety, connection and security in their relationship.
I am an Advanced Certified Imago Relationship Therapist and Certified Imago Workshop Presenter, and my approach to couples therapy draws on my extensive training in Imago Relationship Therapy.
Imago Relationship Therapy is a highly respected form of couples therapy created by Harville Hendrix, PhD and his wife Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD, bestselling authors of Getting the Love You Want and Keeping the Love You Find.
Imago views conflict between partners as growth trying to happen. Using a tool called the Imago Dialogue, I teach couples a new way of listening, communicating and understanding one another.
The Imago Dialogue helps each partner learn about themselves and their partner, and helps promote a richer and deeper connection.
I also utilize a variety of exercises and techniques both in and outside of the session to help my couples draw and build upon the strengths that are already inherent in the relationship- ultimately leading to a more fun, loving and passionate connection.
