Couples
Mini-Intensives
3.5 hour session, pre-session consultation, post-session follow-up, and personalized guidance | $750
You might feel like you’ve been trying to work through things week after week, but nothing is really shifting. The same conversations keep coming up, time runs out before you can get anywhere, or it feels hard to get to what’s actually underneath it all. You may want to make progress, but don’t know how to get there in such a short amount of time.
I offer couples mini-intensives as a focused space to step out of the usual pace and give your relationship the time and attention it needs. In a longer, uninterrupted session, we’ll take a deeper look at what’s been happening between you so you can begin to understand each other more clearly, work through what’s been unresolved, and start moving forward in a more intentional way.
Why Couples Choose Intensives
Limited Time for Weekly Therapy
Busy schedules, work, parenting, or other responsibilities can make weekly therapy feel impossible. A single extended session lets couples focus fully and make meaningful progress in one dedicated block of time.
Accelerated Progress
The concentrated format creates space for deep exploration and skill-building, helping couples notice shifts and improvements more quickly than traditional weekly sessions.
Addressing Urgent Challenges
Couples dealing with repeated conflict, uncertainty, or critical decisions can use a mini-intensive to clarify patterns, resolve pressing issues, and regain hope for their relationship.
Deep Emotional Work
Extended time allows partners to safely explore difficult emotions, process past hurts, and uncover hidden dynamics that affect their connection.
Uninterrupted Therapeutic Continuity
Mini intensives offer extended, continuous time together without the emotional stopping and restarting that can happen in weekly therapy. This continuity allows couples to stay emotionally engaged long enough for meaningful shifts to occur.
Renewed Connection and Momentum
The focused session often reignites trust, emotional safety, and intimacy, helping couples leave with renewed energy and motivation to continue strengthening their relationship.
How Couples Mini-Intensives Work
Couples intensives offer a focused, supportive space to step out of ongoing stress and into deeper, more meaningful work. The process begins with a 20-minute consultation call with both partners to clarify goals and ensure the intensive is a good fit. Before we meet, you’ll complete a few brief forms to help me understand your relationship, patterns, and what you’re hoping to work on.
The 3.5-hour session is a dedicated, uninterrupted time to slow things down, explore patterns of conflict, process past hurts, and practice new ways of communicating. After the intensive, we’ll meet for a 30-minute follow-up, either in person or virtually, to reflect, check in, and support continued growth.
Using Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, I help you understand the patterns and emotions shaping your connection and begin to create new ways of reaching for each other. You can expect a space that is steady, compassionate, and collaborative, where both partners feel seen, supported, and able to move toward a stronger, more secure relationship.
Everything included to support your connection before, during, and after your intensive:
- A focused 3.5 hour session designed around your unique relationship dynamics and goals.
- A 20-minute preparation call with both partners to get oriented and clarify your focus.
- A 30-minute follow-up session to reflect on shifts, check in, and support continued growth.
- An optional written summary to help you hold onto the key insights and breakthroughs from our work.
- Personalized guidance, tools, and referrals to help steer your relationship's forward momentum.
