Imago Relationship Therapy

I engage in IMAGO relationship therapy often with couples to help them connect, attach, and communicate more effectively.

This is a specific kind of relationship therapy that is designed to help conflict within relationships. We learn about the individual's own past wounds and how it maybe affecting their parter/relationship. Through this process we learn about personal triggers that are impacting the relationship.

I've seen the positive difference Imago makes for couples. It not only helps couples learn to communicate in a very helpful way, it also leads and teaches them to be curious, rather than reactive, about their areas of growth. They learn how conflict helps them develop deeper compassion and empathy in their relationship.

Having a partner who REALLY listens to you can make the difference in whether a disagreement becomes a fight. We'll use techniques developed by the Harville and Helen Hendrix to improve communication, which includes listening to really understand, rather than just waiting to fire back a rebuttal.

Imago relationship therapy (IRT) aims to equip couples with the tools necessary to relate to each other in healthier ways and reveal the emotional pathway formed in childhood that led them to their current situation. This form of therapy combines spiritual and behavioral techniques with Western psychological methodologies in order to assist couples in unveiling their unconscious components.

I work with couples using the couples dialogue, helping them to feel heard and understood, with the goal of engaging in healthy conflict and having a strengthened relationship.

Imago Therapy provides you with skills to mirror, validate, and empathize with your partner and building effective communication.

I am a certified Imago Relationship Therapist and on the academic faculty of Imago Relationships International. I have written or edited three book on IRT and numerous peer-reviewed articles. I have personally trained with IRT founder Harville Hendrix and Dr. Hendrix and I have several co-authored articles.

I help couples heal the wounds that they have been projecting on to their partners to restore harmony in the relationship. I also facilitate the Imago Dialogue for healthy communication.

Imago Relationship Therapy provides couples and families with a safe structure to co-create a healthy, loving and mature relationship where all parties feel heard and understood. Imago is unique in several ways; it provides a dialogical process that you will continually use to connect and heal.

For couples who are committed to staying together and need help working on their relationship, I help them see patterns that are not working. There is no blame game and I don’t take sides. I am on the side of the relationship. We identify the pattern (which may include family history patterns such as alcoholism, abuse, lack of emotions, etc.), break the pattern, and create new, preferred ways of interacting and communicating.

A specialty that I offer is working with couples utilizing Imago Relationship Therapy. I offer hour and a half long sessions for 150$ via tele-health. Imago relationship therapy offers couples a new beginning, a way to connect, restore safety, end conflict, and helps couples understand their purpose in this cosmic journey together. Imago Relationship Therapy utilizes dialogues in order to help clients move from the power-struggle stage of their relationship toward a conscious partnership.

I have attended numerous conferences and talks by Harville Hendrix / Helen Lakelly Hunt on "Imago" Relationship Therapy

Imago therapy is for couples at any stage in their relationship. The primary work of an Imago therapist is to help support both partners in their efforts to understand each other’s needs and to restore the connection lost in their relationship by teaching the Imago Dialogue. These skills are then taken outside of therapy as the couple adapts and benefits from what they have learned, which helps them to heal themselves and their relationship.
