A customized space for hope and healing
Weekend Therapy Intensives in Reno, NV
Intensives are designed for when a relationship needs immediate attention or something deeper. This is a personalized and focused experience to create real change.
Reconnect. Rekindle. Get clear.
Most couples don’t have a hundred problems; they have one pattern they repeat a hundred times.
What to Expect
We meet for two intensive days (6 hours/day), with a focus on lowering the heat, de-escalating the cycle, and doing the root work necessary to heal. Using a blend of somatic exercises and structured conversations, my passion is to move you out of survival mode and back into a safe, connected conversation. We can also discuss an optional third day (90 min appointment) for future-proofing and then a follow-up call two weeks later to ensure the shifts you made actually hold in the real world.
Every intensive is fully customizable to your specific needs - we move at the pace of your nervous system.
What we’ll cover:
The Neuroscience of Connection: Understand your attachment styles and why you react the way they do.
De-escalating Conflict: Move beneath repetitive arguments to heal deep ruptures and breaches of trust.
The Art of Repair: Learn practical communication tools to bridge the gap and restore safety.
Intimacy & Passion: Create intentional awareness to rekindle the closeness and desire that has gone quiet.
A Shared Roadmap: Define a clear, actionable path forward so you leave feeling steady and aligned.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
A therapy intensive offers focused, uninterrupted time to dive into the core of your relational challenges - whether with a partner, family member, or co-founder. By trading months of "stop-and-start" weekly therapy for a single, concentrated deep-dive, you allow your nervous system the time it actually needs to slow down, process, and pivot.
The Intensive Advantage:
Momentum Over Maintenance: Weekly therapy often spends 20 minutes "checking in" and 10 minutes "wrapping up." Intensives eliminate the reset, allowing emotional shifts to build naturally and stick.
Efficiency for Busy Lives: You get the equivalent of 3–4 months of therapy in a single weekend.
Deeper Pattern Recognition: Sustained time allows us to move past surface-level bickering to the "underground" emotional blueprints that keep you stuck.
A "Safe Container" for Repair: Complex hurts and betrayal require more than 50 minutes to untangle. The extended format provides the safety needed to open, repair, and close a wound in one sitting.
Rapid Clarity & Relief: When a relationship is at a crossroads, you can’t wait months for an answer. Intensives provide the forward movement and relief required to make informed decisions now.

I work with couples and families in a practical, down-to-earth way that’s focused on clarity, movement, and meaningful change. Every relationship system is unique, so I tailor sessions to your goals, patterns, roles, and communication styles.
I draw from several approaches to help couples and families navigate challenges:
Emotionally Focused Therapy:
I support couples and families in expressing emotions safely, strengthening emotional bonds, and navigating conflict with empathy and responsiveness.
IFS / IFIO-informed:
I explore the different “parts” or inner voices each person brings into the relationship or family system, supporting greater understanding of reactions, roles, and choices—without blame or judgment.
Somatic Experiencing:
I incorporate gentle body-awareness strategies to help individuals stay grounded, regulated, and present during emotionally charged conversations.
All together, I bring curiosity, humor, and a direct style to sessions so the work feels focused, safe, and productive. My goal is for couples and families to leave with practical insight, clear next steps, and a stronger sense of direction.

Cost is dependent on your individualized plan, but to give general estimates:
1-Day Intensive: $1,200-1,400
2-Day Intensive: $2,800 – $3,100
3-Day Intensive: $4,200 – $4,500
Weekly Rate: $225 per 50-minute session.
While the upfront cost of an intensive is higher than a single session, it is designed to be a catalystfor long-term change. Think of it this way: In traditional weekly therapy, we often spend the first fifteen minutes "checking in" and the last ten minutes "winding down." In an intensive, we bypass the small talk and dive straight into the deep-tissue work. A 3-day intensive can often accomplish what might take 6 months to a year of weekly 50-minute appointments.

Because of the high-touch nature of this work, all intensives begin with a complimentary 20-minute fit call. We will discuss your current relational goals, ensure the intensive format is the right "container" for your needs, and look at available Friday–Sunday dates.
