Couples Intensive Retreat
A Three-Day EFT Intensive
Experience Over 3 Months of Therapy in just 3 Days
3 Days to Restore Your Relationship
You care deeply about each other, but lately, it feels like the relationship is just… hard. Maybe you’re stuck in the same old arguments, missing each other over and over again, or chronically disconnected sexually. You know you want things to be better, but finding time for, or access to regular therapy feels impossible, or maybe you’re just feeling that sense of urgency to make things right and willing to do whatever it takes to turn things around.
I’d love for you to consider a 3-Day EFT Intensive Retreat. In these three days of immersive therapy, you will get clarity on the dynamics keeping you apart, transform in the way you interact, learn to communicate powerfully and reconnect in the way you’ve been longing for. An intensive is a great way to gain momentum in finding one another again emotionally, relationally and sexually.
I’m incredibly fortunate to have spent nearly two decades helping couples find their way back to each other . By combining that experience with the powerful, research-driven approach of Emotionally Focused Therapy in an intensive format, we can create real momentum and make significant progress in a surprisingly short time.
I truly love this work and would love to help you decide if this might be a good fit for you! Book a free consultation to talk things through today!

DISCLAIMER: In order to be a good candidate for an intensive I need to be able to foster an emotionally safe 3 days. Therefore not every couple is a good fit for intensives. Intensives are not recommended in cases of on-going affairs, untreated substance abuse/mental health issues, on-going intimate partner violence, or for couples where each partner does not have the same goal for counseling (i.e. one partner wants to save the relationship and the other wants to end it)
Step 1
Brief Phone Consultation
The consultation itself is a great opportunity to start reconnecting with your partner. Couples say that hearing one another share what they hope to gain from doing this work together, is really helpful in bringing clarity, connection and safety to the relationship.
Step 2
Book the Intensive
If you, your partner, and your therapist all agree that an intensive is the way forward, we’ll start making plans during the consultation. I’ll guide you through all the practical details, paperwork, and logistics. The cost for a 3-day intensive is $3250.
Step 3
Show Up
Show up. While that sounds easy, we all know that truly showing up to be present, real, raw and vulnerable is tough! But there’s no growth without discomfort, right? I want to understand exactly where you are. Bring all your thoughts and feelings. Together, we’ll sort through it, make sense of it, take it at your pace, and create opportunities for you to connect.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who are Intensives For?
-Couples that feel like they’ve lost each another and want to reconnect on every level: relationally, emotionally and sexually
-Couples who feel stuck in their negative cycles and are desperate for change
-Couples who feel like weekly therapy makes it hard to gain momentum
– Couples in current therapy who need a boost of hope/encouragement infused into their weekly or monthly counseling
Who isn't a good fit for an Intensive?
-Couples who have differing goals for therapy (i.e. one partner is committed and the other isn’t sure)
-Couples who have active addiction, interpartner violence, or an active affair
What's the price and how does payment work?
Full price for the intensive is $3250. A non-refundable deposit of half the cost is required to secure the dates, and the second half is charged at the time of the intensive.
What's the schedule like?
The schedule is quite flexible and we are able to add time or take breaks, as needed, but this is a rough idea of what to expect:
Day 1:
9-12pm Initial assessment sessions
12-2pm Lunch
2-4pm-Session
Day 2 and 3:
9-11am/12pm- Session
11-1pm-Lunch
1-3/4pm- Session
Where will the intensive be? Are meals and accommodations included?
My office is located near downtown Chattanooga. While lodging and meals are not included, Chattanooga has a lot of great restaurants and beautiful places to stay. I will provide a list of accommodations, as well as local restaurants that you may enjoy during your time here. My office is also located within walking distance to the Chattanooga Riverwalk, a lovely place to stroll during breaks.
What about a shorter or longer intensive?
For local TN couples that I can see for follow-up work, a shorter intensive of 1-2 days can be a great way to get started, or get you unstuck from a particularly challenging place. But for out of town couples, I only offer a 3 day intensive. I’ve found that longer intensives can start to lose effectiveness, so three days is the sweet spot.
What results can we hope for?
There are no guarantees with any treatment but I hope you will get 3-6 months worth of therapy out of the 3 days. Expect to need some follow up work with myself or another therapist to help integrate the intensive into your everyday life and make sure it sticks!
Do you provide the follow up work we'll need?
If you’re a local TN couple, I’d love to continue working with you! But if you’re from out of state, I will work with you to ensure you get connected with the right therapist to continue the work you’ve begun.
