She is a Senior Lead Trainer for the IFS Institute and developer of the Intimacy from the Inside Out (IFIO) curriculum for couples therapists. In 2009, after designing a training for IFS therapists to apply the model to couples therapy, she offered the first IFIO Training Program in Boston, Massachusetts. She co-designed the IFS Level 1 and Level 2 curricula and co-authored the IFS Couple Therapy Skills Manual with Martha Sweezy.
