About Me

I am passionate about relationships, helping people work through conflict and live in deep empathic connection with themselves and each other.  I am committed to working to the very best of my skills and abilities with all my clients, independent of race, colour, creed or gender identity.

What hooked me into Imago

I started trying to understand relationships when I was going through a divorce and studied relationships for my doctoral dissertation.

I discovered Imago when I read “Getting the Love You Want” in 1991. I gave the workshop to my second husband for his birthday, because I thought he needed it! Ha ha! It turned my life around. It transformed my relationship with my husband and gave a focus to my work - to help people experience safe and caring connection.

My work

I have worked in private practice for over 30 years, seeing mainly couples but also individuals with relationship challenges.

I am an Imago Workshop Presenter giving workshops in French and English in Montreal, London and around the world, whenever possible with my husband, David.

As an Imago senior clinical instructor I offer trainings to therapists and others around the world and contribute to the development of theory and new advanced trainings.

Awards

I have been honoured to receive both the Helen LaKelly Hunt Award for Community Building and the Harville Hendrix Award for Clinical Excellence.

My husband, David, and I are in a long-term, deeply loving and passionate relationship which we pulled back from the brink of disaster and continue to create using the Imago tools.

I live in Montreal, Canada and London, UK. My motto is “Have Imago, Will Travel”.
