Our Work Together
I use a blend of therapy approaches to offer a customized treatment plan.
When you feel discouraged, shut-out, or resentful in your relationship it can feel incredibly isolating and hopeless. Couples therapy can address negative patterns and hurt feelings from the past to help you move forward in a more connected way. It’s normal that your relationship is not in the same place as it was at the beginning. We’ll take a comprehensive look at where the stress is coming from to successfully resolve it.
Couples sessions offer a collaborative setting to learn and practice effective communication, conflict resolution, and intimacy-building skills.
Therapy approaches used:
Gottman, Emotional Focused Therapy (EFT), Developmental Model for Couples, Attachment Based Therapy, Imago.
Effectively address symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma and stress to start feeling like yourself again. Many factors contribute to stress including work trauma, burn out, partner relationships, and family. We’ll look at the whole system to understand how these impact you and create a plan that addresses what’s important to you.
Integrative therapy including:
EMDR, Trauma Focused CBT, DBT, Family Systems focus, and parts work.

Getting Started
You deserve treatment that is tailored specific to your concerns and gives you the most privacy.
The LOCI Center is committed to creating a plan that reflects those concerns, and not only what is allowable and reviewed by insurance.
Generally, couples therapy is not covered by insurance. I offer fee-for-service outpatient therapy, and am an out-of-network provider to ensure privacy and a more complete approach to our work together. Some of my sessions run longer than what is allowable by insurance, providing us adequate time to create powerful shifts in your progress.
