For individuals and couples who feel stuck and don't want to spend another year circling the same thing.
Most intensives are booked 2–4 weeks out.
Weekly therapy is great for steady progress, but not always for crisis, gridlock, or high-impact change. Intensives are built for real movement, fast — when you already know you need more than a 50-minute hour.
The same fight on a loop. Weekly sessions feel like one step forward, two back. You need a focused block to actually interrupt it.
When the wound is too big for a 50-minute hour. Affairs, lies, the kind of breach that needs space to actually be worked through — not squeezed into 50 minutes.
You're doing the work. But nothing's actually shifting. At some point, it's not about trying harder — it's about changing the format.
Focused, structured work without constantly stopping and restarting. We pick the thing that's keeping you stuck and stay with it until something actually shifts. No losing momentum between sessions.
Stop measuring progress in weeks.
Some things move in a day.
You'll leave knowing what's actually going on underneath the loop. Not a label — the actual thing driving the pattern.
A clear next move. Not a list of things to think about — something you can actually do.
The kind you can feel. People leave different than they came in.

A therapy intensive is a half-day or full-day session designed to move faster and deeper than weekly therapy can. Instead of 50 minutes once a week, we work together for 3-6 hours in one focused block. It's the difference between trying to fix something an hour at a time and giving yourself one solid weekend to actually move.
Weekly therapy is great for ongoing work, but it has a built-in problem: by the time you start getting somewhere, the hour is up, and you wait seven days to pick it back up. An intensive removes that interruption. We work through patterns, ruptures, and decisions in one extended block — which often produces more movement than 8-10 weekly sessions stacked end-to-end.
Intensives work well for: couples in crisis who need to move now, not in three months; people processing recent betrayal, loss, or major life transitions; clients who don't live nearby and want to combine travel with deep work; anyone who's been in weekly therapy and feels stuck. They're not a fit for severe mental health crises that need a higher level of care.
Yes — couples intensives are one of the most common formats. We work through the specific patterns and ruptures in your relationship in an extended, uninterrupted session. Many couples come for an intensive when they've tried weekly therapy and it's moving too slowly for what they're navigating.
Intensives are private pay. I can provide a superbill you can submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement, but I don't bill insurance directly. Many clients choose to use HSA or FSA funds for intensive work.
Many intensive clients travel in for the session. I'm licensed in Tennessee and South Carolina, which sets limits on ongoing therapy across state lines — but a focused intensive can often work even if you're not local. Reach out and we'll figure out whether it's a fit for your situation.
We'll figure out what you're stuck in, whether a half or full day makes sense, and lock in a date.
