Couples Therapy: Intensives

​

Focused, Transformative Support- When Weekly Just Isn't Enough

​

If you're feeling stuck in the same patterns, overwhelmed by disconnection, or like weekly sessions aren't moving fast enough, a couples intensive may be the reset your relationship needs.

​

This isn't just "longer therapy" - it's an intentional space to reconnect, repair, and move forward with clarity. 

​

All intensives are held virtually, and weekend options are available for your convenience. 

​

What is a Couples Intensive?

​

A couples intensive is an extended, focused session designed to help you and your partner make meaningful progress in a short amount of time. Whether you're navigating a challenge or seeking a deeper bond, an intensive offers the structure and support weekly therapy can't always provide. 

​

Who This is For​

​

Couples who:

​

- Feel stuck, disconnected, or emotionally distant

- Are navigating a major transition or recent rupture

- Have full schedules and limited time for weekly therapy

- Are looking to accelerate progress or rebuild trust

- Want a meaningful deep dive- without dragging it out for months

​

You don't need to be in a crisis to benefit. You just need to be ready to do the work. 

​

What to Expect

​

Your intensive is tailored to your relationship's unique dynamics and goals. I draw from: 

​

- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

- Gottman Method (Level 1 Trained)

- Pragmatic Experiential Therapy- Couples (PET-C)

​

These evidence-informed methods help us explore reactive cycles, attachment needs, communication breakdowns, and opportunities for repair.

​

Before your intensive, you'll complete a brief intake form so we can hit the ground running.

During, you'll have a structured space to move through stuck points, reconnect emotionally, and leave with tangible tools. 

After, you'll have the option to continue to care through a follow-up session or transition into ongoing therapy.
