  • Deeper individual work, including EMDR reprocessing, when assessed as appropriate and you are ready.

  • Slow down through intense moments, with detailed attention to each partner’s experience.


Appointment Options

Choose the time you need.

Individual time within a couples intensive is shared according to what we agree beforehand. You can request more space to talk or more one-to-one support.

Weekend and Tuesday–Saturday appointments by agreement, subject to availability.

Appointment Options

The right support comes first.

Raise safety concerns privately. Individual support or referral may be more appropriate.

Immediate danger: 911

  • We screen for safe, voluntary participation before joint work.
  • Conjoint intensives are not offered with ongoing abuse, coercive control, threats, sexual coercion, or fear
    of retaliation.
  • Immediate safety risks, acute instability, or substance use that prevents safe participation may require other care first.
  • Betrayal repair requires willingness to address deception and take responsibility. Reconciliation is your choice.
Selected Resources for Home

Continue learning between sessions.

We choose what fits your needs; you do not need to read or watch everything.
