MAP for Couples (2.5 day)
I want to help you and your partner(s) feel truly seen and heard so you can deeply enjoy your precious time together.
That’s why I created this tailored, two-and-a-half day relationship therapy experience– just for committed partners who want to strengthen their sense of connection while addressing significant roadblocks.
What we do together is different for each relationship, but perhaps…
- You long for a relationship that allows you to be fully who you are…
- You want to maintain a sense of freedom and wonder, while also feeling emotionally grounded and connected…
- You feel distant in your relationship…
- Your bond was damaged, and you want so much to return to a lighter, easier, more fulfilling connection…
- You’re going through, or have gone through, a major life transition together and need to re-establish a sense of satisfaction…
- Your feelings of affection and desire are hitting a lull…
- You’re ready to nurture a more satisfying connection but are unsure where to start…
- You need clarity on how to get where you want to go…
This is a special opportunity to immerse yourselves in each other’s inner worlds and address conflicts from a constructive, supportive, and hopeful stance.
The Modern Accelerated Program for Couples is designed to help partners:
- Clarify what needs to shift
- Create the critical space necessary to really hear and understand each other
- And set achievable goals for the future so that you can start feeling more connected and hopeful in your relationship.
I have helped many partners through a range of challenging relationship problems, and I am confident that I can help you too.
How does this work?
Together, we’ll have a series of intimate conversations.
We will forget about time for a little while and focus solely on you and your relationship—what you’re experiencing in connection.
We will take a closer look at your dream for your relationship and we’ll work together so it feels right.
Meeting over the course of two and a half consecutive days (as opposed to hourly appointments over several months), we are able to work without interruption for a longer period of time and collaborate to identify and address the underlying needs that require careful attention. As a result, we are often able to make substantial progress by addressing concerns in a more direct, efficient way which helps to bring relief more quickly.
Essentially, we provide you with a “map” to navigate gridlocked issues, underlying problem dynamics, and other challenges that can commonly occur in long-term relationships.
I have found that it’s often the partners who have already been in either individual therapy or couples therapy who benefit most from the accelerated program. But, if you’re open and motivated to make positive changes in your relationship, the conditions are right to make real progress and cover A LOT of ground.
Some outcomes you may want to focus on during your Modern Accelerated Program weekend:
- Clarify your short term and long term goals for your relationship
- Address individual areas in need of growth and attention
- Define your ideal relationship vision
- Make amends regarding a difficult experience and pave a new path forward

- Improve your physical intimacy and your ability to talk about sex/ affection more openly and more frequently
- Learn how to be a more emotionally responsive partner

Healing relationships is what I do.
Since 2009, I have been exploring different techniques, methods, and interventions in relationship therapy. I have completed advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT couples therapy), Parent Management Training, Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Gottman therapy, and have trained with some of the most respected leaders in the field. This diverse training, along with my extensive clinical experience, has allowed me to develop my own unique way of working, one that acknowledges that there is no one-size-fits-all method.
I will bring positive energy, a deep curiosity, and enthusiasm to our sessions together.
I ask my clients to bring their own curiosity, patience, and willingness to look inward and understand how they contribute to their own dynamics. That’s what it takes to find success in therapy, and to maintain a relationship that adds significant joy to your life.
I am deeply passionate about this work for its ability to impact not only the individuals I meet with, but also because the work itself has the capacity to positively shift all of their relationships: with friends, family members, and colleagues. Each person is part of an extensive network of connections that influence each other. When children are born into a loving environment where their caregivers are receptive, attuned, and relaxed, that entire family system is positively impacted. This conceptualization motivates me to do my absolute best.
