I specialize in helping people in relationships who:
- Want to learn effective strategies that will help both partners get more of what they want
- Want to learn how to make requests rather than complaints
- Have a hard time repairing and want to learn how to speak and respond with love and clarity
- Feel stuck in a vicious circle and keep fighting about the same things
- Would benefit from learning how to set healthy boundaries with themselves and with others
- Want to cultivate trust, open communication, and transformative change
I am LGBTQ-affirmative and support individuals and couples of all sexual orientations, in every stage of their relationships.
Couples Intensive
What is an Intensive?
Before we have our first session I will meet with you and your partner to figure out if an intensive is the right fit for your relational needs. Typically, sessions will last 2-4 hours at a time, and will not exceed 20 hours total. This is completed over the course of 5-6 weeks rather than 5-6 months. After our final intensive session I will schedule 2-3 follow-up sessions as needed.
I charge my hourly rate of $200 for intensives. An initial payment of $300 is required to reserve your spot. That amount will be applied to your first session fee.
What skills will we practice?
Clearly identify what a healthy, happy relationship means to you and your partner
Understand what you are doing that might be helpful in other relationships, but not this one
Learn how to set boundaries with yourself and others so that you can be connected and protected
Practice skills that promote healthy self-esteem, relational-esteem, and compassion
Shift from losing strategies (like needing to be right) to winning strategies in your relationship
Learn how to take responsibility where you can and repair after a fight or misunderstanding
