Having once a week relationship therapy is great and helpful, however, it has set backs. Sometimes meeting week-to-week, the work feels slow, there can be scheduling issues due to kids or work, and sometimes, people don’t see change quick enough and lose motivation to engage in therapy.
I offer in-person weekend relationship intensives. The intensives are broken into 6, 9, or 12 hours, depending on the need of the relationship. You and your partner(s) are the focus of that weekend.

Convenience: You don't have to worry about missing appointments due to work or childcare commitments, making it easier to prioritize your relationship without scheduling conflicts.
Efficiency: Condensing therapy into one weekend allows for a concentrated focus, potentially leading to quicker results and resolutions compared to spreading sessions over several weeks or months.
In-person Immersive Experience: Being physically present offers a more immersive experience, allowing you and your partner(s) to fully engage with the therapy process and each other. This in-person interaction can deepen understanding and connection.
Intensive Support: Weekend intensives often provide intensive support from therapists, offering a more concentrated level of guidance and assistance compared to weekly sessions. This can be particularly beneficial for addressing urgent or complex issues.
Deep Exploration: The extended duration of a weekend intensive allows for deeper exploration of relationship dynamics, emotions, and communication patterns. This depth can lead to profound insights and breakthroughs.
Immediate Application: Couples can immediately apply the strategies and insights gained during the intensive to their relationship, facilitating real-time changes and progress. This immediate application can solidify learning and promote lasting transformation.
