There are few things as painful as losing loving contact with your partner. There are few things as joyful as re-establishing the connection and remembering why you fell in love in the first place, when your connection matters more than who is right; when being together is more important than winning.

The theory and methodology I use to work with couples is called Imago Relationship Therapy. I believe Imago theory is the most profound explanation for why we first fall in love and then struggle with the very person we once loved so fully. Imago's methodology is a set of concrete tools you will learn to use in talking with each other so you can hear and be heard safely. When that happens, you each grow individually and your relationship becomes greater than the sum of your two selves.

The general sequence in my office is that I teach you the Imago skills and help you get back into right relationship with each other. I then encourage you to practice these skills on your own at home, until you are able to maintain this right relationship without outside assistance. In my experience, the only real stumbling block is you doing the work at home. If you do it, it works. I also offer Imago couples groups conjointly or as a transition for couples who are no longer in need of direct coaching.
