What Is a Relationship Intensive?

A Relationship Intensive is a focused, two-day experience involving four hours each day over a weekend that is designed to help you and your partner do deep relational work without the start-and-stop pace of weekly sessions. This format gives us the time to slow down the emotional process between you, understand the patterns that keep you stuck, and build a path toward a calmer, more connected relationship. Breaks are built in throughout each day.
Why Choose a Relationship Intensive?
Concentrated time: Eight hours across one weekend allows for depth that's hard to reach in 50-minute weekly sessions.
Faster momentum: Sustained focus often produces meaningful shifts in a fraction of the time traditional therapy takes.
Pacing: We work in helping each partner understand their own reactivity, anxiety, and patterns of relating, not just "fixing" the relationship from the outside in.
Tailored to your relationship: The weekend is shaped around what's actually happening between you two.
Skills that outlast the weekend: You'll leave with a clearer understanding of your own part in the relationship system and tools to keep growing that understanding on your own.

Preparing for Your Intensive
Come ready to look inward. This work asks each partner to examine their own part in the relationship system, not just the other person's.
Plan to stay through both days. The depth of this work depends on the full weekend.
Speak honestly. There's no "wrong" feeling here.
Minimize distractions. Phones off, meals eaten beforehand, water or a favorite drink on hand.
Your Investment
The two-day intensive is private-pay only. Total investment: $1,200. Payment plans available.
