Private Couples Intensives for Couples Who Feel Stuck
When communication breaks down and nothing seems to change, it can start to feel exhausting, discouraging — and even lonely.
A focused 2-day intensive can help you reconnect — quickly.
A couples intensive offers a focused, private space to slow things down, understand what’s really happening beneath the surface, and begin to reconnect in a meaningful way.
A brief call to see if an intensive is the right fit.
Weekday Intensives offered July & August & Weekend Intensives offered September through June in beautiful Newburyport, MA.
An Intensive is for YOU if you both:
✔You keep having the same argument and can’t get out of the cycle.
✔ One of you reaches for connection while the other pulls away.
✔ You feel disconnected, even though you care deeply about each other.
✔ Communication often turns into frustration, shutdown, or distance.
✔ Have tried to work on things, but nothing seems to truly shift.
✔ Are both willing to engage in the process together.
✔ You want help now—not months from now.
An Intensive is NOT for you if you:
✗ Are in an abusive relationship (physically, emotionally, verbally, etc.).
✗ Are actively engaged in an affair or recently learned of infidelity within the past three months.
✗ Are often in very escalated arguments with your partner.
✗ Want your partner to change because you believe that they are the problem in the relationship.
✗ Are unsure if you want to continue on in the relationship.
✗ Are not willing to be vulnerable with your partner.
What’s Actually Happening…
Most couples I work with aren’t lacking effort—they’re stuck in a pattern.
One partner may pursue, trying to talk things through or get closer.
The other may withdraw, trying to avoid conflict or not make things worse.
Over time, this pattern can leave both of you feeling unheard, frustrated, and alone.
A couples intensive helps you step out of this cycle and begin to understand what’s happening underneath it.
Why a Couples Intensive?
Weekly therapy can be helpful—but it can also feel slow, especially when you’re stuck in a painful pattern.
A couples intensive offers:
Focused, uninterrupted time to go deeper
The ability to slow down patterns in real time
Momentum that’s hard to build in weekly sessions
Space to stay with important moments instead of stopping when time runs out
This allows us to do the kind of work that often takes months in weekly therapy—over the course of just a few days.
What You Can Expect
During your intensive, we will:
Identify and map the cycle that keeps you stuck
Understand what’s happening beneath the conflict
Begin shifting how you respond to each other
Create new moments of connection and emotional safety
Build a clearer path forward together
By the end of the intensive, most couples:
Feel more connected and understood
Have a new way of approaching conflict
Experience a sense of relief and hope
Feel more confident about how to move forward
Why Now?
Most couples reach out when they’ve been feeling stuck for a while — and aren’t sure how to move forward.
The patterns in a relationship often don’t change on their own, even with the best intentions.
If something in you is saying it’s time to address this more directly, this may be a good moment to take that step.
Many of the couples I work with come in feeling frustrated and disconnected—unsure how they got here.
By the end of the intensive, they’re often able to understand each other in a new way and feel a renewed sense of connection and hope.
Investment
The investment for a two day personalized and private Couples Intensive is $3,300.
A 50% deposit is required to reserve your dates, with the remaining balance due on the first day of the intensive.
I offer a limited number of intensives each month, and they tend to book in advance.
If you’re considering an intensive, I encourage you to reach out soon to secure a spot. Intensives must be booked at least three weeks in advance.
*Program fee covers participation in the 2-Day Couples Intensive for both partners. Lodging, travel, and meals are not included. Couples Intensives are a specialized intervention not reimbursable by insurance.
Send me an email to schedule a consult and we’ll determine if an intensive is the right fit for you.
What’s Next?
To help determine if a Couples Intensive is the right fit for you, I’ll start by asking a few questions via email. If it seems like a Couples Intensive might be a good fit, we’ll schedule a 30-minute virtual consultation to further clarify your goals for the Intensive.
In the 30 minute virtual consult, we we talk more about your relationship needs and goals. After talking, if we will all decide that a Couples Intensive is the way to go, we’ll make plans for the Couples Intensive during the consultation. I will walk you through all the details of paperwork and logistics. The fee for Couples Intensive is $3,300. A 50% non-refundable deposit is due via credit card at the time of booking.
When you arrive for your Couples Intensive, know that it's okay to be exactly where you are, as long as you're ready to approach the process with curiosity, openness, and honesty. Working on your relationship takes effort, courage, and vulnerability, but it's also deeply rewarding. Bring all your thoughts and feelings, and together we’ll work through them, slow things down, and create space for meaningful growth.
