Couples Therapy
Couples are my specialty. My passion is working within relationships.
Getting Started
Every new couple begins with a 90 minute assessment session, where we discuss your goals for your relationship, and begin exploring the relationship itself — its strengths, its weaknesses, and its current struggles.
At the end of this assessment we will decide together what's best for you: traditional 60 or 90 minute sessions at regular intervals, or couples intensives.
What are Couples Intensives?
Some couples struggle to make progress in just 60 minutes of therapy.
Through extensive training and working with couples in therapy for several years, I found that recurring one-hour sessions are not always helpful for some couples. This led me to obtain certification in Couples Intensives, a half-day (4 hours) or full-day (6 hours) session of focused, tailored therapy.
Intensives are designed to give each of you the time, space, and safety to get to the heart of what is happening in the relationship — and why. You may be working on disconnection or lack of communication, and find an intensive gives you the time to practice new approaches. You may be considering separation, divorce, or reconciliation, and emerge from an intensive with clarity about the decisions you need to make.
Intensives can be a way to tackle relationship struggles efficiently. They can help those for whom career or childcare responsibilities interfere with their ability to consistently keep up with recurring one-hour sessions. This does NOT mean therapy is completed in a day! We won't fix every problem in your relationship with a single intensive, but we will use the longer format to make weeks or even months of progress in a single day, so that by the end of the Couples Intensive you can have a clear plan for the future of your relationship.
