If you are reading this right now, I first want to thank you.

 

I recognize that asking for help with your relationship is one of the most intimate things you can do. I am committed to remaining present to what an honor this is for me to assist you and see “behind closed doors” into your life. One of the main reasons I remain so committed to this is because I’ve made many relationship mistakes myself. And when I finally did get married, even though I already had a doctorate in psychology, I realized that even that was not sufficient to prepare me for being with someone 24/7 for an extended period of time.

 

Being a couple really is a unique relationship. It is one where we get to see the best in each other and the worst.  And this is because, over time and many shared experiences together, our whole selves will be revealed and so will our partners. We may find that we love some aspects so very much and those other aspects just drive us insane.

 

Let’s consider that there are many reasons that couples fail to thrive:

 

• Perhaps you never had good role models to teach you.

• You carry deep hurts from the past and bring these into the current relationship

• You are likely doing too much in your daily life that leaves little leftover for the relationship.

• You may see that you have different interests than your partner and that you can't find that common ground anymore.

• You and your partner communicate very poorly and just can't reach each other.

• And/Or, you may be experiencing betrayal or breaks in the integrity of the relationship.

 

Obviously, there are many many reasons couples fail to thrive, and additional ones not listed here.

 

But I assure you…I have seen couples in all different places in their relationships, and together- we will reach clarity, communication, and peace.

 

The way we will meet these goals is through the specialized training I received in IMAGO couples counseling. As I mentioned previously, my doctorate in psychology did not prepare me for marriage! But the IMAGO process certainly did. When we meet together, I will offer you the same education and philosophy that I received (the Cliffs Notes version!) and then we will practice putting the process into action.

 

IMAGO teaches us that conflict is growth trying to happen and that there are big lessons here for each of you. IMAGO uses a process called a dialogue which will help to make it clear and safe to communicate again, and I will facilitate this process with you until you are comfortable doing it alone.
