Relationship intensives are focused, long-form coaching sessions designed to access the heart of your relationship concern and effectively navigate it in a consolidated timeframe. We consolidate months worth of work into a single day. 

With a foundation based in RLT training, with overlapping tools and insights borrowed from neurobiology you will:

• gain insights into your relational challenges, problematic cycles, and barriers to connection

• learn how to identify and communicate about your emotional sore spots

• understand and practice elements of relational communication

• get clear on the impact of family of origin and other socio-cultural conditioning 

• develop and reinforce your relational values, wants, needs, and intentions

• reverse destructive cycles  and create resilience from a place of integrity, intention, and accountability

*For clients that decide uncoupling is the best way forward, your insights and the relational tools and resources provided will help you to do so in the healthiest way possible. 

Couples seeking relational support aren't generally doing it because everything is great. 

The relationship is wounded and you're stuck in a painful cycle. The relationship might be at a breaking point, and you're wanting relief. You need insights, tools, and hope as quickly as possible that standard 50 minute sessions every week or two can't offer.

An intensive, or a series of intensives, could be perfect for you if your relationship is stuck in a painful cycle, you or your partner don't have a schedule that is conducive to weekly appointments, you want the most cost and time-efficient option, and you appreciate experiential, insight-based work combined with actionable strategies and take home tools. Some couples also enjoy the option of yearly intensives or workshops as part of their relational maintenance. 

We accelerate the process to set an immediate new relational trajectory of understanding and collaboration, so you get faster results in what you might be surprised to learn is also a more cost-effective format. How? I'm happy to elaborate. 

First, let's do some math. Just six months of standard weekly appointments, adds up to $5200, and that's just the numbers. It's hard to quantify the relational pain that can persist between standard sessions.

Second, when I say our structure is focused, that means:

* We are saving time by minimizing the check in and wind down time that is necessary in standard sessions; we have one check-in and one wind-down. This is especially beneficial for those that may have more difficulty settling in. Having to wrap up as soon as you warm up every session can really extend the process when you're doing standard work. 

* We eliminate the need to play whack-a-mole with any new or distracting concerns that could come up between sessions. Intensive work will proactively set you up with the tools and skills to help you navigate those challenges more independently going forward. 

* On a related note, we don't have to spend extra time focusing on coping skills that may have significantly less relevance after the intensive. Don't get me wrong, I love coping skills, but reduced relationship stress means reduced need for coping skills! And, frankly, reduced relationship stress will also make it a whole lot more likely that, should you need them, you'll actually be able to USE the coping strategies that you already know. 

An intensive is an opportunity to orient to the landscape of your relationship and build new infrastructure without having to repeatedly clear debris and recover from floods and fires. 

Friday Intensive Schedule

*Scheduled topics are general and fluid.

8:00-12:00

• Information gathering, exploring the relationship dynamic, identifying your cycle, and orienting to difficult truths together. 

• Insight development, including the adaptive origins of what are now maladaptive, losing relational strategies.

12:00- 1:00 break

1:00-4:00

**Referals for follow up, standard individual or couples therapy, may be provided as needed.

The total fee is $1925, and includes your full intensive day of undivided attention and work, light snacks, take home resources, a personalized reading list, and referrals for ongoing support as merited. 

A 25% ($481.25) deposit is required to confirm your appointment. Requests to cancel or reschedule must be received no fewer than 24 hours prior to the start of your scheduled session in order to receive a refund. The full remainder of the fee will be charged to a card on file the evening prior to your session.  

With standard sessions, you still get the deep, exploratory work along with the skills and tools that come with intensives. It’s just on a more extended timeline. We can call this one the scenic route, with life's pitstops along the way. Standard sessions are perfect for people who prefer to address things in smaller doses, want access to regularly scheduled support, or have an easier time scheduling 50 minutes than a whole day. 

I also believe in accessing third party support as proactive maintenance work. The scenic route may be perfect for you as a resource to leave no stone unturned and to diffuse as many potential landmines as possible in your personal, professional, and/or relationship life.  It's an opportunity for supportive reflection, review of experiences, and exploration of thinking that some individuals and couples enjoy maintaining as a support resource. 

This unique opportunity is not your average workshop. You will get 2.5 days of information and support for you to learn, process, create and nourish the erotic and sensual connection in your relationship.

This workshop is perfect for couples that are committed and loving, but maybe stuck, discouraged, anxious, or avoidant when it comes to sex and intimacy. If you and your partner are curious and respectful toward one another, open, and motivated to learn new skills to navigate sexual discrepancies and enhance intimacy, this workshop is for you! 

*Workshops are not a replacement for therapy and are not designed for high conflict or argumentative couples.

Cost includes: 

• a balanced and well-crafted itinerary with time for education, discussion, and processing.

• specialized, data driven programming, gathered and consolidated from leading experts in the field of relationships, sex, & intimacy.

• powerful insights and tools that will help reconnect you with intimacy, eroticism, and sensuality.

• plenty of resources  and actionable steps for your relational toolkit.

Itinerary is subject to minor changes. Session titles and final schedule to be announced by July, 2025*.

Each session will include large group education and discussion as well as breakout mini-sessions for just you and your partner. During breakout sessions, facilitators will float from couple to couple to offer support, as needed.
