My Approach to Helping

If you feel your partner never listens to you, or you keep having the same old fights over and over, or life is uncomfortable (or miserable) because of relationship problems---Imago Relationship Therapy can be very helpful! In Imago we enable each partner to be heard and understood so the needs of both partners can be met. As a Certified Imago Therapist, I help couples talk and listen to each other in a "healing dialogue" which helps partners feel safe and brings back some of the closeness they used to enjoy. I believe that every couple can create a mutually fulfilling relationship or marriage, despite their past difficulties. Sometimes one partner resists coming for counseling; often in such situations it is helpful for the other person to come alone to explore what can be done to improve the relationship.

I would be happy to talk with you by phone to explore any concerns or questions you may have! Call me at 708-280-3148.
