Couples Therapy Intensives

REPAIR OR DECISION WORK

Intensives are structured, therapist-led, and intentionally paced to go deep - without overwhelming you. 

​

Because betrayal, conflict, and attachment injuries require careful assessment and pacing, all intensive work begins with a comprehensive intake process.​

​

Required Intake Sessions

Before scheduling an intensive, all couples complete: 

Two separate 80-minute intake sessions - $1,000 each

(Paid separately from the intensive fee)

​

Intake sessions are designed to help us fully understand the relationship history, injuries, patterns, and goals before moving into the most important repair or decision work.

 

The first intake session we meet all together, the second one I meet with you each individually. ​​

​

Scheduling Your Intensive​

From there, we schedule your intensive sessions - two or three hours of focused work tailored to your relationship. I bring my expertise in discernment, infidelity, emotional disconnection, and high-conflict dynamics to help you understand what’s happening, address what’s keeping you stuck, and determine how to move forward.

​

Intensive therapy is billed at $800 per hour, in two- or three-hour sessions.

FAQs

Do you see neurodiverse couples in therapy? Absolutely! Many of the couples I work with are neurodiverse or, in their words, have a “high quirk factor.” I work collaboratively with you to understand what helps each of you feel safe and connected. I don't believe there's one right way to participate in therapy. We figure it out together. If you need to move during therapy, get up and move. If you need to fidget, go right ahead. If you need a break or a minute off camera, we can make room for that, too. My job is to help you find new ways to signal to your person when you need them to come closer for reassurance or give you space. Together, we'll work on new ways to reach for each other, respond to each other, and repair things when they go sideways - ways that feel authentic and doable and relevant for both of you. Therapy with me should feel relevant and useful. I'll check in with you periodically to make sure we're working in ways that feel right for both of you.

What happens after I contact you for therapy? Once we connect and you schedule a session, I’ll send you a link to complete your intake paperwork. This must be submitted to secure your spot. For online sessions, we’ll meet on my secure therapy platform, SimplePractice. You’ll receive a reminder email or text with the meeting link 48 hours before your appointment - and again 10 minutes before we start. Before our session, check in a few minutes early. If you're meeting individually, use earbuds with a microphone for the best sound quality. If you're meeting as a couple, position your camera so I can see both of you. When you log in, you’ll enter a virtual waiting room. At our scheduled time, I’ll start the session.

We don’t live in one of your four states, but we really want to work with you. If you’re ready to make meaningful changes in your relationship and believe I’m the right therapist for you, there may be a way to work together. I’m licensed to provide therapy to clients physically located in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Washington, and Florida. If you live elsewhere, you may be able to travel to one of these states for a couples therapy intensive and meet with me online while you’re there. Come for the intensive. Stay somewhere beautiful. Give your relationship the focused attention it deserves. Sometimes, getting away from your everyday life is exactly what you need to start doing things differently.

How does online therapy work for couples? Online therapy provides the same structured, research-based approach as in-person sessions, with the added convenience of meeting from your own space. We connect through a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform, ensuring privacy and confidentiality. You and your partner can join from the same location or separate ones. I facilitate discussions, offer real-time guidance, and help you navigate challenges in your relationship—all without the stress of travel or scheduling conflicts. Many couples find online therapy just as effective, if not more so, due to the comfort of being in their own environment.

Your transformation begins when you say yes to finding out what's possible.
Policies

Insurance

I do not accept insurance. This allows me to offer focused, individualized care without session limits or third-party involvement.

For couples therapy, I can provide a superbill using the diagnosis Z63.0. Most insurance plans do not reimburse for this. You’re welcome to check with your insurance company and submit for possible reimbursement.

Superbills are not provided for Discernment Counseling or intensive services.

I can only provide a superbill for individual therapy when a diagnosis is appropriate. If you do not qualify for a mental health diagnosis - I cannot provide a superbill.

Payment is due at the time of service. I do not interact with insurance companies.

Reimbursement should be seen as a bonus, not a requirement, to work with me.

​

Lower-Fee Therapy

I believe therapy should be accessible. I hold a small number of reduced-fee spots for clients with financial need.

Unfortunately, those slots are full at this time.

 

Cancellation & Payment Policies

Weekly and biweekly clients are subject to a 48-hour full-fee cancellation policy.

Initial intake appointments and all intensive therapy blocks require a full-fee deposit, as time is reserved specifically for you and other inquiries are declined.

Payment is processed via credit card or HSA/FSA.

You will securely enter your card information through the client portal when completing intake paperwork.​

​

Good Faith Estimate

Under the No Surprises Act, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of the expected cost of your care.

My fees for therapy services are clearly listed on this website. Because the frequency and duration of therapy vary from person to person, the total cost of services will depend on the type of services provided and how often they are used.

For more information about your rights under the No Surprises Act, visit CMS.
