Stuck in a Cycle of the Same Issues?
At one point, you and your partner were in sync, but something shifted, and now it feels hard to reconnect. Each of you has your own perspective, but truly stepping into each other’s world and feeling heard can be a challenge. That’s where I come in as a couples therapist.
My focus is on rebuilding communication by going back to the foundation—the core of your relationship. I utilize proven therapeutic approaches, including Imago Therapy, because I’ve found it to be one of the most effective tools for helping couples reconnect. Through therapy, you’ll have the opportunity to listen to each other deeply, without defensiveness, and engage in open, honest, and respectful conversations. My goal is to create a non-judgmental space where you can strengthen your bond and build a relationship that feels fulfilling and connected again.
What to expect in a couples therapy session
-
1. Imago Dialogue Process
Couples learn and practice the Imago Dialogue, a structured communication tool that includes:
Mirroring: Reflecting back what your partner says to ensure clarity and understanding.
Validation: Acknowledging and affirming your partner’s perspective, even if you don’t agree.
Empathy: Connecting with your partner’s emotions and showing compassion.
This process fosters emotional safety, reduces defensiveness, and strengthens the connection between partners.

2. Identify and Address Core Issues
Explore recurring patterns of conflict and the emotional triggers behind them.
Understand how unresolved childhood wounds influence relationship dynamics.
Reframe conflicts as opportunities for growth rather than threats to the relationship.
