Frequently Asked Questions

What will we experience in couples therapy?

We strive to provide a safe, unbiased environment to work with you and your partner(s) on identifying specific behaviors that interfere in your relationship, preventing you from getting the love you want.

Using Imago tools, we help remove the blame, shame and criticism common in negative relationship patterns and transform your relationship into one full of understanding and deep connection. We teach you to understand your relationship triggers and reactive behaviors that may stem from unmet needs and how to respond to your partner in a healthy way that benefits you both.

Working with all types of relationships in various stages, our focus is to help you achieve a relationship based in mature love where each partner feels heard, understood and loved.

Intensives of more than 2 hours are available by special request. If you are traveling and would like a weekend intensive with either Sean or Lori or both of us together, we welcome you. Email with your inquiry to determine details.

2. With our guidance, you'll go inside yourself and gather information from your earlier years.

3. You'll work in your Imago workbook, helping you put into action the information you've gathered and synthesize old material into new learning.
