When traditional therapy just isn't cutting it
Are you stuck in endless arguments?
Are you struggling with communication breakdowns, unresolved conflicts, and emotional distance in your relationships?
The emotional toll is draining, and traditional psychotherapy hasn't offered the breakthrough you need. After countless hours of weekly therapy sessions, the issues persist, and you're now in dire need of a rapid shift.
You have come to the realization that hour-long sessions aren't cutting it anymore. You have busy schedules and the complexity of your issues requires a more concentrated approach – something that allows you to dive deep into the root causes of your challenges and create meaningful change in a shorter timeframe.
YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT PLACE.
My signature Couples Therapy Intensives & Retreats are designed to accomplish in 1 to 3 days what may take months in traditional therapy.
What are Therapy Intensives?
Therapy Intensives for Couples (also known as Marriage Intensives, Couples Retreats, and Polyamory Therapy Intensives) are a concentrated and immersive approach to relationship therapy that allows you to reconnect, heal old wounds, and create meaningful change in a shorter timeframe.
Unlike traditional weekly sessions, Therapy Intensives are designed to provide an opportunity to dive deep into the heart of your relationship challenges over a condensed period, typically spanning 1 to 3 days.
During intensives, you and your partner/s will engage in tailored therapeutic activities and facilitated discussions. Together, in a safe environment, we will untangle your complex relationship challenges head-on in a focused, efficient, and compassionate way.
This concentrated, immersive approach allows for quicker breakthroughs, more profound insights into your relationship dynamics, and a significant increase in intimacy, understanding, and connection. It's like turbocharging your journey to healing and growth.

Common Questions About Couples Intensive Therapy
-
Both traditional therapy and therapy intensives are delivered by qualified professionals, but they offer distinct approaches to address your relationship challenges.
Traditional therapy typically consists of weekly 50-minute sessions. With deep work usually starting after 40 minutes, for some, the process might feel slow-moving and repetitive. You come in, discuss the week's issues, head back home, experience conflict. Repeat. While this approach has its merits, therapy intensives are the answer when it feels like time is slipping away, and you can't afford to wait any longer for resolution.
Therapy intensives (also known as Intensive Couples Therapy, Marriage Intensives, Polyamory Therapy Intensives, Couples Marathons, or Couples Retreats) are bootcamp-style sessions designed for couples and polycules who are navigating complex relationship dynamics, are in crisis, or want to deepen their connection.
Intensives grant you the invaluable gift of uninterrupted time with your counselor.
These sessions offer a concentrated alternative to traditional weekly therapy and come in formats of 1 Day (8-hour Program), 2 Days (11-hour Program), or 3 (14-hour Program). Basically, you’ll receive a months’ worth of counseling in just a few days.
During intensives, couples gain more clarity on where they are at and where they want to go, learn a communication formula to enhance productivity and reduce stress in interactions, increase intimacy, foster repairs, and increase trust.
In a world where life moves fast, intensive therapy offers a focused and efficient way to address your relationship challenges head-on within a shorter timeframe.
Long sessions can become your lifelines to rebuild trust, heal old wounds, and discover newfound hope in your relationships.
It's a focused journey towards a brighter and more fulfilling future, designed for those who crave rapid, lasting change.
