The Intimacy Reset™
A focused, high-impact experience for couples who are tired of feeling stuck, distant, or like something is missing.
This is where you break the patterns that keep you disconnected, and rebuild real emotional and physical intimacy.
Book Your ConsultationWhen your relationship is in crisis, time matters.
You may be on the verge of separation, navigating infidelity, or stuck in patterns that feel impossible to break.
Weekly therapy can help, but it often moves too slowly when things feel urgent.
Sessions are spread out. Progress stalls. The breakthroughs you need don't happen fast enough.
And life keeps going, work, kids, responsibilities, leaving little space to actually repair what's happening between you.
A couples intensive offers a different path.
Instead of stretching progress over months, this is focused, uninterrupted time to do the work that actually moves things forward.
In a single, focused day, you can:
- Break through long-standing patterns
- Address core issues like trust and intimacy
- Begin rebuilding connection, with real-time support
This is structured, evidence-based work designed to create meaningful change, without the delays of weekly sessions.
What You Get From an Intensive
- Focused, uninterrupted time to work on your relationship
- Support to move through difficult conversations, in real time
- Clear understanding of the patterns keeping you stuck
- Tools to communicate without escalating or shutting down
- A clear path forward, together, or with clarity about what's next
This is where real change begins.

Who Couples Intensives Are For
Couples intensives are designed for relationships that feel stuck, strained, or at a turning point.
Couples in Crisis
Frequent conflict, emotional distance, or conversations about separation, and you need clarity on what's next.
After Infidelity
Trust has been broken, and you need space to process what happened, understand the impact, and decide whether repair is possible.
Communication Breakdowns
Conversations quickly turn into arguments, shutdown, or avoidance, and you keep having the same patterns on repeat.
Intimacy Challenges
Emotional or physical intimacy feels distant, pressured, or difficult to talk about.
Life Transitions
Parenthood, career shifts, or blended family dynamics are putting strain on your relationship.
Couples Wanting More
Things aren't "bad," but you feel disconnected, stuck in routine, or want a deeper, more intentional connection.
What to Expect
Before the Intensive
We start with a consultation to understand what's happening and what you need most right now.
You'll complete brief questionnaires, and we'll meet for a preparatory session to clarify goals, so you come in focused and ready.
During Your Intensive
This is focused, uninterrupted time to work through what's been keeping you stuck.
Together, we will:
- Identify the patterns you keep getting pulled into
- Slow down and work through difficult conversations, with support
- Get underneath the conflict to what's actually driving it
- Learn how to respond differently in real time
- Create a clear path forward
Breaks are built in so you can reset and process as you go.
After the Intensive
You won't leave with just insight, you'll leave knowing what to do next.
To support lasting change:
- Follow-up sessions to reinforce the shifts you've made
- Simple, practical ways to stay connected in your day-to-day life
- Clear guidance on what to do next, together or individually
My Approach
I use Relational Life Therapy (RLT) to help couples move out of stuck patterns and create real, lasting change.
RLT is a direct, effective approach that focuses on accountability, honesty, and helping both partners show up differently in the relationship.
As a Certified RLT therapist trained in intensive work, I guide you in understanding what's not working, and how to actively shift it.
It's about creating change you can feel and sustain.
How I Work
- Direct and engaged – I won't just observe; I actively guide the process
- Structured and focused – We use our time intentionally to create movement
- Tailored to you – Your history, patterns, and goals shape the work
- Trauma-informed and inclusive – Creating safety while addressing difficult dynamics
Why Work With Me
I specialize in couples who feel stuck, disconnected, or on the edge of major decisions, including high conflict, infidelity, and intimacy challenges.
This is not traditional weekly therapy.
It's focused, intensive work designed to create meaningful shifts in a short period of time.
We'll work on:
- Breaking destructive patterns
- Rebuilding trust and accountability
- Improving communication and repair
- Strengthening emotional and physical connection
What This Means for You
