R. I. S. E Couples Intensives

Intensive Couples Therapy to create Reconnection, Intimacy, Self-Awareness & Empowerment.

Relationships are messy and painful at times. So often they are injured from built-up resentments and conflict to the point where the walls go up and one (or both) people disconnect and sometimes even exit the relationship to ease the pain.

I created my R.I.S.E. program to offer my clients a highly effective way to accomplish more in less time than weekly couples therapy provides.

My integrative model uses the most effective methods for helping couples understand each other, themselves and their relationship — while offering the tools to reverse the negative reactive cycle that most couples get caught in. This cycle becomes an endless loop of reactivity that eventually can take over the relationship with destructive force. My R.I.S.E. program has been proven to be a highly successful way to reverse the negative cycle of reactivity to help couples create the relationship they seek — one that is rooted in safe emotional connection and true intimacy (or what I call Into Me See).

My R.I.S.E. Couples Intensive is one full day of interactive therapy and incorporates three main exercises to help my clients understand their reactive cycle, why and how it was created and offers proven tools to learn how to be in relationship in a more lovingly responsible and empowered way. This package also includes four 90-minute follow-up sessions to refine your skills and break through any stuck places that may arise in the process of re-creating your relationship.

While I tailor the day to address the specific needs of each couple, some of the problem areas I address are:

  • Childhood influences and triggers

  • Conflict escalation and de-escalation

  • Communication and emotional/physical disconnection

  • Sexual issues and intimacy

  • Trust issues, areas of insecurity and feelings of betrayal

  • Issues that arise when blending families

Throughout our day together, couples are guided through several emotionally corrective exercises that are truly the most healing pieces of this powerful work and the keys to relationship repair. While every couple will have their own goals for what they want to achieve, the overarching goals of a R.I.S.E. intensive are to facilitate key moments of change to improve communication through understanding, learn how to manage conflict productively and deepen all aspects of intimacy in their relationship. 

This is truly some of the most rewarding work I get to do with couples simply because it is so highly effective with a proven success rate for creating lasting change in relationships. I guarantee your investment in that one day will bring invaluable returns throughout our life!
