You Wonder “What Happened to Us?”
We were never really taught HOW to to do relationships; HOW to
communicate skillfully.
So of course we mess things up!
When we do, thoughts of “I am not good enough”, “I am going to end up alone”, “My partner isn’t there for me” or “Our relationship just can’t be fixed” start swimming in your head.
You Want a Healthy Relationship
One that includes:
- easy communication
- feel heard and understood
- resolve conflicts effectively
- mutual respect.
- physical connection that feels fun and welcomed
Different Couples Have Different Needs

Affair Recovery & Betrayal Repair Intensive

I thought we would leave here with tools, but not with this renewal…this awakening. I feel like we made huge strides…a deeper connection. This is an investment, it’s a lifetime investment. It’s the best investment I have ever made.”

Marriage Counseling Intensives Help You Feel Emotionally Connected Again
There are no guarantees in life, but I can promise that during your Private Retreat or Intensive, you will:
- communicate to a depth you have not experienced with your partner before.
- understand what is happening behind the conflicts and how to stop them.
- connect with your partner in an amazing and authentic manner.
- address and repair hurts that have seemed impossible to heal.
Your Marriage Counseling Intensive will be Evidence-based and Successful
Dr. Sue Johnson developed Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT); this is the basis of my Private Retreats. EFT has a 90% success rate at reducing distress in couples. Based on her research, she determined that successful couples benefit from engaging in specific seven conversations. These conversations are now the basis of her Workshop protocol, “Hold Me Tight®”.
Here is a helpful podcast with Dr. Sue Johnson. In it, she speaks specifically about the science and philosophy behind EFT.
I had high expectations, maybe higher than most and they were definitely met. What exceeded was how you were really able to custom tailor the Workshop…I like how you were able to adjust on the fly. Your level of engagement is very different than a typical couples therapy session. Here, you are able to dig in and you are PRESENT… This helped us resolve longstanding issues that weren’t resolving themselves and were pushing us further apart. You were able to get right into it and solve it”

Tools That Help ALL Your Relationships
These Retreats and Intensives give you tools that extend past your relationship with your partner. You will be learning skills that you will carry the rest of your life. Your understanding of yourself and how people relate will impact your connections with your children, family, peers, and others for years after your weekend. That understanding is priceless.
