Co-create a relationship that is nonreactive and far more intimate.
Kathy uses Intimacy From the Inside Out couples therapeutic model with partners to help them reclaim their relationship. All sessions are via teletherapy.
It’s time to stop the repetitive disconnects.
Most couples spend time in therapy explaining, analyzing, justifying, practicing techniques, dialoguing, rationalizing, criticizing, and blaming just to be left feeling more hopeless.

Repairing
From a place of centeredness taking ownership of actions; noticing transgressions and the effects on your partner; ultimately offering reparation.

About Therapy
Intimacy from the Inside Out© is a model of couples therapy that draws primarily from the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model of psychotherapy, but also includes aspects of psychodynamic theory, systems thinking and neuroscience. It is an experiential model born out of a desire to carry the concepts of IFS into a relational setting and to use the intimate relationship itself as a vehicle for growth and healing of the individual, as well as the couple.
