Couples Therapy
In couples therapy, my clients can expect to be seen and understood, and to experience a judgement-free zone. Much of my couples work is grounded in attachment theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and AEDP.
Oftentimes, what couples therapy with me looks like is me getting to know each person well enough that I become a “translator.” This can free up miscommunication dynamics, creating more space for connection within the couple’s relationship.
I work with all kinds of pairs, including romantic partners, sexual partners, siblings, friends, co-founders, co-workers, roommates, and parents with their adult children.
When I work with couples, I hold the relationship as my primary client. In this work, I do not take sides with either individual because the relationship is my primary focus. A commitment from each partner to work on their relationship is what is most important.
In couples therapy, many clients who come to me on the brink of divorce move toward finding each other again, reconnecting in ways they could not previously have imagined.
I am by no means a miracle worker, and if one or both partners is determined to move on from the relationship, I cannot somehow change that. But if both partners are open and willing to give therapy a real try, I am often quite successful in supporting clients with finding more connection and closeness than they have ever had.
I delight in this work and feel honored to bear witness to connections and intimacy deepening.
Fees/Rates:
I am happy to discuss my fee in our initial phone call. I strongly believe therapy should be accessible to everyone and thus a portion of my practice is done on a need-based sliding scale. These spots are often full, but I do keep a waiting list, and you are always welcome to ask.
I do not work with any insurance directly. Doing so is left strictly up to my clients. If you have a PPO, there is typically some amount of my fee that can be reimbursed. I am happy to provide a Superbill at any time for you to submit to your insurance.
It may be helpful to call your insurance directly and ask how much they reimburse for “out of network” therapy. I can also provide a Superbill for clients to submit for reimbursement in the case that you have an FSA/HSA account. Therapy is considered a reimbursable medical expense.
