I have been practicing for 30 years and am certified in Imago Relationship Therapy and EMDR.
Contrary to popular opinion that can characterize therapy as designed for unhealthy or dysfunctional people, my experience and belief is that therapy is for people seeking to improve their lives and their relationships. Whether it is a relationship with ourselves, with a spouse, partner, family or friends, many of us long for better connections and more empowerment in our lives. The good news is that we can learns skills to live more satisfying lives. Research on brain plasticity validates that we can change. Research also suggests we tend to do what we have already done, whether it works or not! Therapy can change this!

I am completing my certification in Imago Relationship Therapy (7/2023).
A therapist is like a dentist. We can avoid them for a while, and sometimes we find one we like or don't like. Eventually, though, everyone needs to see one. Therapy won't solve your problems, but it will help equip you with the tools you need to get through. We offer in-person and video sessions, and see children to adults. We have several groups available, and we accept insurance and offer a sliding scale. We believe therapy is for everyone. Contact us for a free consultation. Even if you don't end up seeing a therapist with our practice, we can help you find someone that you connect with.

Imago assists couples in defining & addressing family-of-origin issues, & provides tools to create your new relationship.
Having problems with communication in your relationship? Are there topics you can't discuss? Does it leave you feeling upset & withdrawn? These are natural feelings. Relationships can be hard- they take work. You may be thinking "We can't go on like this. I just don't know what to do." But there is hope-you can feel better. I am a Certified Imago Therapist for the past 20 years & do Imago Couples Workshops with my wife Amy. Helping couples, families, & individuals connect & communicate more effectively, especially around conflict is my passion. I have lived & worked through many of the same issues in my 37 years of marriage.

Finally, those interested in quick progress will be wise to check out the powerful Imago Weekend Workshop for Couples.
As a therapist for many years, I have found two approaches to couples therapy to stand out: Imago Relationship Therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Imago, described in the NY Times best-selling, Getting the Love You Want, (Dr. Harville Hendrix), teaches a simple yet powerful communication tool that is ideal for anyone wishing to learn effective communication. EFT is superb for helping couples move past their own and their partner's frustrations into their deeper longings for connection. Combined, these two methodologies have proven to be the most powerful approach I know for couples in any stage of relationship.

Imago Therapists

How does Imago therapy work?

Imago relationship therapy is a form of couples counseling meant to help partners address conflict, communication problems, and related issues. Imago sessions typically involve couples sitting facing each other and participating in guided conversations. Therapy will also involve exercises such as re-imagining one’s partner as a wounded child; re-romanticizing a relationship through appreciation, surprises, and even gift-giving and restructuring frustrations by transforming complaints into requests. The ultimate goal is to re-envision the relationship as a source of safety and happiness.

What is the Imago method?

A core technique of Imago therapy is the Imago dialogue, in which partners learn to avoid hurtful statements and establish ways to interact based on each having equal space and power. In the dialogue, partners take turns as the “sender,” who shares their thoughts, and the “receiver.” The receiver is asked to “mirror,” or paraphrase, what their partner has said, without response or rebuttal, and then validate their statements, acknowledging understanding even if they do not personally agree with it. Finally, the receiver displays empathy by stating what they imagine the other is feeling, and showing appreciation for it.

How long does Imago therapy take?

As with most forms of talk therapy, there is no set duration or end point for Imago therapy. After becoming comfortable with a therapist and the core techniques of Imago coaching, some couples quickly make progress, but most should expect sessions to extend for months, encompassing at least 12 to 20 sessions, along with extensive “homework” from their therapist.

Does Imago therapy work?

There is limited empirical evidence to support the benefits of Imago therapy, but some smaller studies suggest that it does help couples, at least in the short-term. A 2017 study found that marital satisfaction increased significantly after couples completed 12 sessions of Imago therapy, and remained higher for some time after that, but did not always result in “complete recovery.” Other studies found greater empathy and fewer feelings of relationship burnout in couples after therapy. Some research suggests that Imago therapy can aid individuals as well as couples; people with ADHD in particular may benefit from the development of communication, self-control, and listening skills that form the basis of the technique.
