Introduction
When life gets complicated, relationships often do too. I offer focused, evidence-based therapy intensives for couples who need more than what weekly therapy can offer. Whether you’re navigating infidelity, disconnection, or at a crossroad moment.
Together, we’ll slow down, tune in, and do the deep work your relationship deserves.
Is This For You? (Why an Intensive?)
✔️ You don’t have the time or bandwidth for weekly sessions
✔️ You’re facing urgent issues (like betrayal or major life transitions)
✔️ You feel stuck in painful patterns that won’t budge
✔️ You’re ready to commit to real change, quickly and deeply
What to Expect
- A 90-minute Zoom assessment session before we begin
- 1-2 days of deep, focused therapy
- Daily sessions lasting 3–5 hours (with breaks)
- In-person in Boulder, CO or virtual via secure telehealth
- Integration tools and personalized follow-up recommendations
My Approach
Evidence-Based, Emotionally Grounded
For over two decades, I’ve helped couples move through heartbreak, gridlock, and emotional distance toward deeper connection and understanding.
I draw from emotionally focused and integrative behavioral approaches to help partners find their way back to each other, not by avoiding what’s hard, but by turning toward what matters.
Real change happens when we make space for difficult emotions, show up with courage, and re-align with the kind of relationship we want to build, even when it’s uncomfortable.
