Some relationships reach a point where one hour a week simply isn't enough.

​

The conflict feels too entrenched. The betrayal too painful. The conversations too emotionally charged to resolve in brief sessions spaced days or weeks apart. When couples find themselves at a crossroads, a concentrated therapeutic experience can provide the space, structure, and momentum needed to move forward.

​

I offer private Couples Therapy Intensives in New York City for couples seeking focused, in-depth support. These extended sessions are designed for partners who want to address significant relationship challenges in a single, immersive experience, rather than at the slower pace of traditional weekly therapy.

​

Couples often seek an intensive when they are navigating:

• Infidelity, betrayal, or breaches of trust

• Chronic conflict and recurring arguments

• Emotional disconnection or withdrawal

• Sexual dissatisfaction or desire discrepancies

• Challenges related to non-monogamy or relationship agreements

• Life transitions impacting intimacy and connection

• Communication breakdowns

• Questions about the future of the relationship

• Rebuilding after periods of crisis or significant loss

 

A Structured and Personalized Process

Every intensive begins before we meet.

Before the intensive, each partner attends an individual consultation and completes a comprehensive assessment. This process helps me understand the relationship's history, identify the patterns that contribute to distress, and develop a tailored roadmap for the intensive.

Rather than spending valuable time gathering background information, the intensive day begins with a clear understanding of the relationship's strengths, vulnerabilities, and goals.

 

What to Expect

 

Intensives are typically offered as a one-day experience with six to eight hours of dedicated couples therapy.

The extended format enables us to move beyond surface-level communication strategies and explore the deeper emotional, relational, and sexual dynamics that shape your relationship.

​

Throughout the day, couples receive guidance in:

• Understanding attachment patterns and emotional triggers

• Interrupting destructive conflict cycles

• Repairing trust after betrayal

• Navigating difficult conversations with greater emotional safety

• Exploring intimacy, desire, and sexual connection

• Clarifying relationship needs, boundaries, and agreements

• Building practical strategies for ongoing growth

 

The work is structured yet flexible, allowing space for both insight and meaningful emotional experiences that often cannot arise in a traditional 50-minute session.

A Unique Integration of Relationship and Sex Therapy

As a licensed psychotherapist, relationship therapist, and nationally recognized sex therapist, I bring a unique perspective to intensive work with couples.

​

Relationships are not sustained solely by communication. They are also shaped by intimacy, desire, erotic connection, vulnerability, identity, and the ability to remain emotionally present with one another.

​

Many couples seeking intensive work have discovered that their emotional struggles and sexual concerns are deeply interconnected. I help couples understand these intersections while creating a safe and affirming space to explore topics that are often difficult to discuss openly.

 

I have expertise working with:

• LGBTQIA+ couples

• Mixed-orientation relationships

• Consensually non-monogamous relationships

• Couples navigating desire discrepancies

• Infidelity recovery

• Sexual concerns related to chronic illness or medical conditions

• High-achieving professionals balancing career demands and relationships
