Start healing your relationship now
with a therapy intensive.
Is your relationship really struggling?
You're facing challenges that feel overwhelming
because your relationship is heading into scary waters.
You're worried about where the two of you are headed and you're beginning to feel hopeless.
Because of your fights and disconnection you're feeling:
-
distracted at work and at home.
-
hopeless about the future of your relationship.
-
that the infidelity, reproductive trauma, or other betrayal has stolen your best friend.
You are in the right place. Intensives help my clients reconnect quickly so they can feel supported and safe again.
It might not feel like it right now, but you can save your relationship. You can feel like best friends again. I can help you get there.
Is 50 minute therapy not feeling like enough time to solve your disconnection?
Have you tried hourly sessions in the past and felt like there wasn't enough time to really "get into it"? Did it feel like you didn't have enough time to both be heard and understood?​
​
Perhaps you've been on a waiting list, hoping your relationship can survive a few more weeks until an opening comes up. You're fed up and want to begin to address your issues in one, concentrated day.
If you're a busy professional without wiggle room in your schedule, scheduling a therapy intensive to start healing your relationship is easier than committing to months of weekly therapy.
Transform your relationship quickly with a Couples Therapy Intensive
Understand your communication and relational dance that keeps you each stuck and alone. Begin to see that dance as the enemy - not your partner.
Learn about why you perceive your partner's actions as you do, what your history and theirs has to do with your conflicts.
Rebuild clear and kind communication so you can talk about all the issues you've been avoiding or can't discuss without fighting or getting stuck.
Move towards understanding and forgiveness, allowing you both to feel seen and validated.
Discuss the goals you have for your relationship, openly, without feeling shut down or being shut down.
Find a new sense of openness and investment in your relationship.
Begin to feel a sense of closeness and emotional safety again.
Intensives provide momentum, eliminating the need for weekly catch-ups.
It's like a retreat, a focused space dedicated to your healing and growth.

What does a couples therapy intensive include?
Pre - intensive intake session
In our initial 90- minute session, we'll take the time to understand your unique relationship dynamics. We'll explore your love story, the challenges you're currently facing, and your hopes for the future. Together, we'll identify the areas where you'd like to deepen your emotional connection and develop a tailored Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach to address your specific needs.
Intensive day individual sessions
On the day of your first intensive, we'll begin with two 45-minute individual sessions to explore your attachment history, any past relationship wounds, and your goals for your relationship. Subsequent intensives may not include individual sessions, and instead will be replaced by a 90-minute couples session.
Intensive day couples sessions
An Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) couples intensive offers a focused approach to healing and strengthening your relationship. Through guided exercises and heartfelt conversations, you and your partner will delve into your emotional experiences, challenge negative patterns, and build a more secure bond. This intensive format allows you to accelerate your healing journey and experience significant progress in a concentrated period of time.
​
**Even if you don't consider yourself an "emotional" person, EFT helps us get to the heart of the matter. You'll discover that emotions are a natural part of the human experience, and I'll guide you and your partner in connecting with and expressing them authentically.

Rapid Results
While you may feel overwhelmed thinking of setting aside a whole afternoon or morning for therapy, the time you take away for an intensive is actually an asset.
Many couples report that it’s actually easier to take a day off than trying to get away for an hour each week.
No more compartmentalizing your day or leaving therapy upset and unable to return to work. No more having to muscle your way through the rest of your day, competing with the emotional drain of a tough session.
Many couples combine an intensive with a weekend getaway. The vacation or retreat mentality lets you leave everyday stresses behind and really focus on your relationship without other distractions.
Are intensives a good fit for us?
Intensives might be right for you if....
-
You're in a committed relationship that is struggling. You want to feel closer and more understood.
-
A more intense but short term model fits your goals. You need momentum and hope.
-
You're motivated to work on your relationship. You don't have time to mess around.
Intensives will not be right for you if....
-
One or both partners are unwilling to actively participate in the process of change.
-
There are significant safety concerns, such as active addiction or ongoing intimate partner violence.
-
The primary goal is to obtain advice or quick fixes rather than engaging in deeper emotional exploration and relationship work.
-
One or both partners are not ready to address the underlying issues contributing to their relationship difficulties.
Frequently Asked Questions About Intensives
What is the schedule for an intensive?
All first intensives (except the mini) include a 90-minute couples intake session. The day of your first intensive includes two 45-minute individual sessions, and couples intensive therapy sessions. Subsequent intensives might not contain the individual sessions and will focus on couples sessions.
​​
-
One-day intensive schedule: 9:30 AM - 12:30 PM and 1:30 PM - 3:30 PM
-
Two-day intensive: Same schedule on two days, either consecutive or not.
Will the intensive be online?
Clients must be in Massachusetts for their intensive. All intensives are online. No travel costs, no extra expenses. Make sure to have a quiet, secure location for your intensive. Turn off all notifications on the device you'll be using. When you're meeting as a couple, you'll need a laptop or desktop for those sessions. You'll each meet with me individually and phones can be used for this purpose.
What if we need to reschedule?
A non-refundable 50% deposit is required to secure your appointment. The remaining balance will be charged the day before your intensive.
​
I understand that sometimes life gets in the way of our best intentions.
Since the scheduling of an appointment involves setting aside time especially for you, a minimum of 48 hours notice is required for rescheduling or cancellation of your intensive. If you cancel with less than 48 hours notice, I will keep your deposit. If you can reschedule your intensive within 3 months your deposit will be applied to your rescheduled intensive.
How do we get started?
Contact me. We'll set up a time for your 50 minute couples assessment to gather a history of your relationship and map out a plan for your intensive. All appointments will be scheduled on my HIPAA-secure online portal. You'll receive reminder texts/emails and a link to our secure online meeting space.
It's time your relationship felt whole again.
