Welcome to Healing in Relationship
The name Healing in Relationship reflects the heart of my practice.
Our closest relationships have an extraordinary ability to bring both our greatest joys and our deepest vulnerabilities to the surface. While that can feel overwhelming, it also creates the opportunity for meaningful change.
My work is based on the belief that relationships have the potential to become a place of healing, where understanding deepens, trust grows, and both partners feel more connected. That belief guides every aspect of the work I do with couples.

Healing Happens in Relationship
Couples Counseling
If you're looking for help with your relationship, my practice is dedicated to helping couples move beyond recurring conflict and create a stronger emotional connection.
Whether you're struggling with communication, feeling emotionally distant, rebuilding trust after a betrayal, or simply wanting a healthier relationship, I'll help you move beyond the surface arguments to understand the deeper patterns that keep the same conflicts repeating.
As you begin to see yourselves, each other, and your relationship differently, you can heal old wounds, create lasting change, and build a relationship that honors both of you.
Why Imago Relationship Therapy?
The approach I use with couples is Imago Relationship Therapy.
Rather than focusing only on solving today's disagreement, Imago helps couples understand the deeper patterns that keep them stuck. As understanding grows, couples often discover new ways of responding to each other with greater empathy, compassion, and emotional safety.
If you'd like to learn more about this approach and why I believe it creates lasting change, you can explore it here.
Meet Darleen
For more than 25 years, I've had the privilege of helping couples navigate some of the most challenging seasons of their relationships.
As a Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, I provide a warm, supportive environment where both partners feel heard, respected, and understood. Rather than settling disagreements, I help couples understand the patterns driving their conflicts and find new ways of connecting with one another. Every couple has a unique story. My goal is to help you write the next chapter with greater connection, compassion, and hope.
If you're ready to create a stronger, more connected relationship, I'd welcome the opportunity to work with you.
Healing from Trauma & Anxiety
In addition to my work with couples, I also provide individual therapy for adults experiencing trauma and anxiety using Brainspotting.
Trauma and anxiety can affect every part of your life, leaving you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, constantly on edge, or disconnected from yourself and others. Even when you understand why you're struggling, it can be difficult to move beyond the emotional and physical responses that continue to keep you feeling trapped.
Brainspotting is a powerful, brain-based therapy that helps process unresolved trauma and emotional distress at a deeper level. As your brain and nervous system begin to heal, many people experience greater calm, reduced anxiety, and a renewed sense of hope and well-being.
We repeat what we don't repair.
