Specialized Services
As an alternative or supplement to ongoing therapy, specialized services provide targeted support for couples at different stages--whether preparing for marriage, navigating uncertainty, or engaging in more focused, intensive work. Experience has taught me that there is not a one-size fits all for effective counseling, so these offerings provide for a more customized approach for my clients.
PRE-MARITAL COUNSELING
COUPLES INTENSIVES
Focused, extended work
Why an intensive versus the more traditional weekly couples therapy?
Weekly therapy and couples intensives serve different purposes.
Ongoing sessions offer a steady, consistent space for reflection and change over time. Intensives, by contrast, create extended, focused time to engage more deeply in specific patterns or moments that may benefit from a more concentrated approach. Intensives can be a more immersive format designed to help couples make meaningful progress in a shorter period of time.
Rather than meeting week to week, intensives provide extended time to step out of daily patterns and engage more deeply in understanding, communication, and meaningful change. For many couples, this allows for progress that feels more difficult to reach within the constraints of traditional sessions.
THIS FORMAT IS WELL SUITED FOR:
• Couples feeling stuck despite prior efforts.
•Situations requiring more focused, uninterrupted time
• There has been a significant rupture, such as betrayal or loss of trust.
• You want to make more substantial progress in a shorter period of time.
This work is paced thoughtfully to allow for depth without becoming overwhelming. The goal is not to rush toward resolution, but to create meaningful movement and clarity in a focused period of time where you only focus on yourselves.
