About Yael…

I am passionate about working with couples of all kinds. I help couples live out their wildest dreams for themselves and their relationships. Maybe your relationship/marriage is in crisis or failing. Maybe it?s stagnant or full of conflict and, sensing this, your children are beginning to act out in ways that baffle you. Maybe you have become overwhelmed by parenthood or the business of everyday adult life and wonder how you and your spouse have managed to drift so far apart and feel so frantic and disconnected. My sessions focus on couples? strengths & resources rather than pathology. The focus is on restoring your original connection, thus freeing you to be the creative, loving, conscious human beings you are meant to be.

As we travel the journey together, you will experience an effective, original approach for healing both from recent wounds and from old wounds imported into the relationship and current family dynamics from childhood. My work with couples integrates ancient wisdom and cutting edge neuroscience into a cohesive and holistic model of relational healing. I am a Certified IMAGO Therapist and believe deeply in the transformative power of the IMAGO Dialogue. I want couples to achieve ?REAL? transformation of their relationships and to grow together towards ever deeper and stronger connection.

In addition to private session for couples, I offer a 4-hour relationship education workshop for couples called IMAGO Connects, which gives participant couples a taste of what IMAGO is and how it works to deepen and transform relationships.

Transform your relationship by attending one of our Imago Relationships workshops in North America. We have a large network of certified therapists and facilitators that will help you connect deeper in all of your relationships. You can explore our workshop topics and speak directly with our Imago Relationships professional to sign up.
