Transformational Couples Intensives are ideal for couples who would like to focus on a specific aspect of relationship that calls forward to be evolved. Those who are drawn towards this kind of work have had some experience in Couples Therapy or resonate with the yearning to have a deeper, joyful, and more fulfilling, intimate and evolving relationship. Transformational Couples Intensives are thoughtfully, sensitively, and individually crafted for the couple in need and are anywhere from one to three days. They are also ideal for couples who prefer an alternative to weekly therapy. All Couples Intensives magnetize those couples who are ready to take their relationship to the next level, a natural outcome of the work undertaken, so if you find yourself called to truly evolve your relationship forward, there’s no question you’ll find this work deeply rewarding, nourishing, and a wonderful gift and support to enriching one of the most important relationships in your life. My Couples Therapy page has more information on how couples work is held in my practice and the issues that are addressed with.
The Intensity in Partnerships
In my private practice and personal life, I’ve observed the intensity that Archetypal life events such as moving in together, the wedding journey, the birth of a child, and the affair can hurl a couple into. What’s evoked is a deeply centralized web of themes that are profoundly emotional, mental, historical, and most noticeably, relational. Often times couples say that there is no relationship journey that is more evocative, more feeling, and has more potential to evoke transformation and change than that of an intimate partnership. The specifically tailored programs below are ones that acknowledge some of the most poignant transitions couples go through that show over and over again to be the most provocative, challenging, and calling of the therapeutic community to address and be of service to. I feel excited and honored to be called to service couples in this way.

Moving On In
It all seemed wonderful when you were dating and falling in love, as the high flying honeymoon stage of a relationship is there to establish trust, safety, and a sense of togetherness and belonging. You’ve decided to move in together and low and behold you can feel the underneath rumblings starting to speak to both of you in ways you never could hear before. Although it is a very exciting time, it can also be a time of great stress as your relationship is transitioning to a deeper and more intimate level. Some of the issues that can arise for couples at this juncture in life include provocative discussions about money, gender roles, the future, personal boundaries and fears. The Moving On In program supports couples through the passage of this time by opening up a non judgmental safe space for any of these discussions to be truly and fully alive, to help address fears and potential troubles brewing and to share space together and openly address and connect with all that it means to the two of you to be making this move together. Couples can find this work really helpful in creating a shared vision of their path together and structuring the evolving relationship work that is between them in a way that feels tender, intimate, supportive and empowering for the journey ahead.
