ABOUT
I am a certified Imago Couples Therapist, Strategic Intervention Coach, and Prepare & Enrich Facilitator, helping couples to improve their communication skills, to prepare for marriage, and to heal rifts in their relationships.
Everyone says that relationships require work, but few people can show you how to actually improve your marriage or partnership. With no road-map for happiness, you sometimes need real-life guides with wisdom and experience to show you the way.
With over 30 years of experience as a Community Rabbi,supporting individuals,couples and families, people find me a highly empathic therapist and life coach. I work - in person and on line - with couples in crisis and with those who want to make their relationship even stronger; integrating IMAGO, ACT and SI Coaching. I believe that it is possible to strengthen relationships through enhanced communication, love and connection, and I guide engaged couples towards these goals using the Prepare & Enrich Program.
If you both believe that you really could be “2 Halves of a Soul”, talk to me about how I can help bring you closer together.
I look forward to working with you.

TREATMENT APPROACH
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is a form of psychotherapy that encourages individuals to accept their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment and to use them as tools to help them to make changes in their lives that are consistent with their values. It is based on the idea that by changing the way we think about our inner experiences, we can reduce emotional distress and increase our sense of well-being.
Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT)IRT focuses on helping couples identify and address their unconscious patterns of behavior that contribute to conflict and dissatisfaction in the relationship. IRT also emphasizes the importance of forgiveness and validation in healing past wounds and creating a more positive and fulfilling relationship. IRT helps couples develop communication skills and a deeper understanding of each other's needs and feelings.
Through Imago Therapy, couples will be able to explore their communication patterns, discover sources of conflict, and create new ways of connecting with each other that build empathy and understanding. The therapist will also work with the couple to create a vision for their relationship and set realistic goals for how to achieve it. This therapy helps couples to develop better communication, trust, and intimacy, as well as providing hope for the future of their relationship.
