Couples & Intensives
The longer I live, the more deeply I learn that love — whether we call it friendship or family or romance — is the work of mirroring and magnifying each other’s light. Gentle work. Steadfast work. Life-saving work in those moments when life and shame and sorrow occlude our own light from our view, but there is still a clear-eyed loving person to beam it back. In our best moments, we are that person for another. - Maria Popova
Relationships are ecosystems. They are living, breathing, vital environments that need tending and intentionality.
I offer both ongoing weekly sessions and half-day intensives, depending on what your relationship needs.
Ongoing Relational Sessions
Weekly sessions for folks doing the slower, steady work of coming back into relationship with each other — tending to recurring patterns, working through disconnection, or rebuilding trust after a rupture. This is the right pace when what you need is consistency: a regular space to keep returning to each other over time.
The Half-Day Intensive: A Reset
Sometimes fifty minutes once a week isn't enough room to actually get underneath what's happening between you. A half-day intensive offers something different — real time, held with care, to slow all the way down together.
We begin by hearing from each of you, briefly and separately, so I can understand what's true for each of you before you're both in the room together and the dynamic arises. From there, we move into the working heart of the day — following what's actually alive between you, tracking it closely, staying present rather than rushing toward resolution. We take a real break partway through; this work asks a lot of a nervous system, and rest is part of the process, not a pause from it. We close by naming what we've found and shaping it into something concrete you can carry forward together.
This is the same attunement I bring to all of my work — slow, embodied, responsive to what's actually happening rather than what we think should be happening. You can read more about that approach on my [Counseling page →].
3.5 hours. One session. My office.
Is this for you?
You keep having the same fight, even if the shape of it changes each time
Something happened — a betrayal, a loss, a hard decision — and you don't yet have a way to talk about it that doesn't go sideways
You're not in crisis, but you can feel yourselves drifting, and you'd rather meet that honestly now than wait for it to become more
You've tried therapy before and it felt too slow to keep pace with what you were actually carrying
You're facing a threshold together — a new baby, a move, blending families — and you want to walk through it consciously and intentionally
For more in-depth work focusing on polyamory, ethical non-monogamy, or relationship structures outside the traditional frame, visit my other practice, Nuance — where it's the sole focus rather than one part of a broader practice. [Visit Nuance →]
What this isn't
This isn't crisis intervention, and it isn't the right container if either of you is navigating active abuse, active addiction, or a decision that's already been made to leave. In those cases, I'll tell you honestly on our consultation call, and point you toward what will actually serve you.
Investment
$750 for the 3.5-hour intensive. A deposit holds your date, as I set this time aside exclusively for you.
Most couples begin with a free 15-minute consultation call, so I can understand what's bringing you in and we can both feel into whether this format is the right fit.
