Couples Therapy

As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist I help couples untangle the frustrating and painful interactions that get in the way of genuine emotional connection.

Rather than focusing on the surface problem I use the Imago framework to help you uncover the roots of the conflict. Instead of each of you talking to me about your frustrations with your partner while I act as the referee, I will teach you the tools to begin communicating with each other in a way that is not blaming or shaming. If we think of conflict as growth trying to happen, we can become curious about finding the seeds of the conflict within your relationship and individual histories. We use this understanding to transform conflict into an opportunity for greater intimacy and personal growth.

INTENSIVES

Some couples find it useful to utilize this concentrated form of therapy either because they’re from out of town and need to get a lot done in a short amount of time, or to focus on a specific issue that calls for a more intense approach than weekly sessions allow. I design a weekend format specifically tailored to the couple and the issue(s) they want to address. An Intensive is designed for one couple only.
