INTENSIVE COUPLES THERAPY: AN ALTERNATIVE TO COUPLES RETREATS
Busy couples often struggle to find time for traditional therapy but with my intensives, you can make significant progress in just four weeks — saving four months of counseling — while gaining clarity, resolution tools, and a clear roadmap for moving forward together.
My intensives provide a powerful alternative to traditional couples retreats, offering the same proven effectiveness with a fraction of the time commitment. Equivalent to four months of traditional couples therapy, our weekend intensive sessions help couples navigate significant relationship challenges with a focused, short-term approach.

Sex Therapy - Rekindling & rebuilding your intimacy.

BENEFITS OF INTENSIVES:
-
Fast Track Therapy - make meaningful breakthroughs in just one month, equivalent to 4-months of therapy.

It’s common for couples to worry that therapy will feel one-sided or offer generic solutions that don't truly fit their needs. With me, couples therapy is approached differently — guiding both partners to collaborate in creating meaningful solutions with the help of research-backed, specialized therapy, and tools. Through active participation and the help of a certified sex and couples therapist, I will help you decide on a path forward.
