About Dawn…

For over 28 years, I have specialized exclusively in working with couples. I still find that Imago Relationship Therapy is one of the most effective and empowering approaches to helping couples. ( I use it in my personal life, too!) I teach the transformative information and tools in presentations, couples’ workshops, marriage preparation courses, and in my counseling work with couples in my office.

I remain convinced that there is far more hope for marriages and relationships than couples often think. However, tools are useless if you don’t use them. But with some practice, the majority of couples can learn how to deepen connection, use conflicts as opportunities to deepen emotional intimacy, and discover the core root(s) of conflict that are the REAL areas for healing and growth. Together, I can help you both take your marriage or relationship that you have now and make it much more of what you both want.
