There are moments in a relationship when an hour a week just isn’t enough. Moments when everything feels raw, urgent, or deeply stuck – and easing in slowly through weekly couples therapy doesn’t feel right.

As a couples therapist, I deeply value the chance to do intensives with both new and existing clients. There is something uniquely powerful about having a longer stretch of time together – a bigger container that can hold the tenderness, the stuck places, and the vulnerability that naturally come up when we’re working on your relationship.

In intensives, we’re not glancing at the clock, worried about getting cut off just as something important begins to open. We get to settle in and really unpack what’s happening between you, so you can begin to heal or shift things at the roots.

We look beneath the surface of conflicts or disconnection to understand the deeper dynamics at play – why you keep getting caught in the same painful cycles, and what keeps fueling them. You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of what’s happening in your relationship, and what’s needed to create change.

You’ll also leave with practical tools and skills to help you communicate more effectively, understand each other more deeply, and navigate challenges together in a new way. We won’t just talk about these tools – you’ll get hands-on practice using them with each other, with my guidance and support, so they feel real and usable when you go back into your daily life.

And you’ll leave with a roadmap: clarity about what comes next and how to keep building on what you’ve started, whether that’s continuing therapy, integrating these changes on your own, or making other important decisions for your relationship.

Often, the ground we cover in an intensive would take months to reach in weekly therapy
