If you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns or facing a significant challenge in your relationship, a couples intensive can create space for real movement.
Instead of trying to work through things in short sessions, we have time to slow down, understand what’s happening, and begin to shift it.
We focus on:
• Breaking out of repetitive conflict cycles
• Improving communication and understanding
• Rebuilding trust and connection
• Navigating difficult conversations with support
Outcome:
Couples often leave with greater clarity, stronger communication, and a renewed sense of connection.
Couples intensives can:
Provide relief from conflict cycles, the pain of emotional withdrawal, or issues where you’ve been stuck for years—in days, not months
Fit into both your and your partner’s busy schedules with minimal disruption—no need for weekly time off work or arranging a babysitter over and over
Shift you and your partner out of anger and into connection in a way that will last
Help you move your relationship forward in a fraction of the time—so you can stop inching toward divorce and rediscover the love that has held you together this long
What does a Couples Therapy Intensive include?
Intake with couple (60 minutes)
We start with getting a plan in place on what you would like to see change in your relationship and making a roadmap for sessions.
Two individual sessions (60 minutes each)
I meet with each of you to get a sense of how each of you are showing up in the relationship and where your individual stressors are.
Extended couples sessions
After this we can do up to 4 hours at a time of couples work with breaks of course!

Couples intensives are to help get accelerated healing in a few days instead of waiting months to really get into the deeper reasons why things are hard in your relationship.
Intensives allow you to work through things in a deeper manner and not just focusing on the focusing on the weekly arguments and petty hurts but the deep parts of your relationship that are not working and heal emotional wounds that have been there for months or years.
-
An intensive format gives you accelerated results because we don’t have to spend time on:
Trying to remember where you at in the last session and checking in on the surface weekly things.
Telling the therapist what has gone and not well in the past week.
addressing the surface each time and never getting deeper.
Having to stop a session early to put you back together before you leave the weekly session.
Because intensives get past the weekly fight and the irritations of the surface level and really work on the heart of what is causing the distress in your relationship and get to that healing more quickly, It can be a more cost effective option because you are working on the real issues and not just the little fights.
-
To start we have you both fill out some assessments to look at patterns in your relationship and what your concerns in the relationship.
Then I will meet with you individually and talk about where your specific pain points are and identify things that you are bringing into the relationship that may be contributing to the current pattern.
Then we will work together in the intensive to heal past hurts, address patterns that are not working and establish new healthy patterns,
Then we will have a 30 minute wrap up before the end of the session.

In these sessions it is like a private couples retreat. We will spend time on what the concerns are and finding a way through them. Not focusing on the fight you had lasts week about who is picking up the kids but the deep hurts that are keeping you stuck. After these intensives it is good to plan a chill day for afterwards.

Intensives can be scheduled online or in-person. Please note that, due to licensure laws, I can only work with you if you are in the states of OR, WA, HI, UT, ID, CO ME.
In-person intensives can take place at my office in Eagle, ID

You just need to be physically in ID, HI, OR, ME, CO, UT, WA at the time of our work together.
If you are out-of-state, you can travel to Eagle ID to od it in person or one of the other states I’m licensed in for the couples intensive. Some couples like traveling for the intensive, as it adds to the experience of having a get-away purely to focus on your relationship.

We’ll start with a free 30-minute consultation with both you and your partner so we can meet and see how we all connect, and discuss whether an intensive is a good fit for your relationship. If so, we’ll get your intensive scheduled and I’ll send you some prep materials for you to review and complete within a week of booking.
After booking, I will hold the dates for your intensive for one week. You will be charged a non-refundable deposit for half the amount of your total intensive cost. By the end of one week, I need completion of your paperwork in the client portal to continue holding your scheduled intensive.

As with any psychotherapy, results are not guaranteed, and everyone’s outcomes are a little different. However, a couples intensive will give you and your partner extended time to work through tough issues, rebuild trust, and heal your relationship—without the stop-and-start feeling of weekly sessions.
Some research shows that couples can reach their goals faster this way. Couples intensives are a newer approach and research is still ongoing. However, research on intensive sessions for individual therapy is overwhelmingly positive, which is a good indicator that the intensive format itself is a strong clinical tool. I’ve seen many couples experience incredible rejuvenation through an intensive.
Intensives are just what they sound like—intense. We’re doing hard work; you may feel emotionally tired during or after the intensive. It’s also normal to feel like you’re having more disagreements at first. But we’ll take breaks and keep the pace manageable, and I will make sure you both feel supported the whole time.
