When Trust Shatters, Weekly Sessions Aren't Enough
An immersive intensive for couples who refuse to let betrayal write their ending
If you're here, something sacred has been broken. You're probably oscillating between rage and numbness, hope and despair. That's exactly where you should be. And it's exactly why an hour a week won't cut it.
This is for couples who believe that even shattered trust can be transformed into something real—if you're brave enough to stop managing the crisis and start authoring a new story.
The Space Between Discovery and Decision
Right now, you're living in the unbearable middle. The affair has been discovered. The betrayal is on the table. And everyone—friends, family, therapists—has an opinion about what you should do.
Meanwhile, you're just trying to survive each day. One partner drowning in shame. The other suffocating in pain. Both wondering if there's a way forward that doesn't require pretending this never happened.
Weekly sessions feel like trying to solve a puzzle when the pieces keep changing between appointments
I've Witnessed Other Couples Navigate This Storm
I know the betrayed partner's intrusive thoughts that won't stop. I know the betraying partner's shame that feels unsurvivable. I've sat with couples as they've done the excruciating work of truth-telling and witnessed the surprising moments when hope breaks through.
After years as a clinician and countless hours with couples in crisis, I've learned this: Betrayal isn't the end of your story. It's a brutal chapter that can lead to a more authentic relationship—if you're willing to do the deep work, not just the surface repairs.
MY APPROACH
My Approach to Transformation
My work is deeply influenced by Virginia Satir's understanding of congruence—when what we think, feel, and experience with our senses all line up—and Michael White's narrative therapy, which empowers couples to re-author their relationship stories. I also have extensive training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and am curious and attuned to how your attachment styles show up in your romantic and familial relationships.
I don't see people as problems and I don't pathologize or label people. Wherever you are, you got here together. Anger often masks deeper emotions like fear or sadness. Conflict signals unmet needs or unspoken fears. Distance reflects protective patterns that once served but may no longer fit your authentic desires. Virginia Satir believed that when we align with our authentic selves, we can no longer hurt or be hurt. Finding this congruence creates space for choosing whether and how to continue relationships with others.
Through what I call "thicker language" and experiential activities, we explore the emotional landscapes that shape your connection. This isn't about learning communication techniques or managing behaviors—it's about transforming how you see and experience yourself and each other.
Why Intensives
After years of traditional weekly therapy, I discovered that real transformation—what family therapists call second-order change—requires sustained focus. Just as you don't learn to ride a bike through scattered 10-minute practices, relationship transformation happens through immersion, not fragmented sessions.
My intensive approach creates a curated vessel where couples and families can step outside familiar patterns and discover entirely new ways of being themselves. and together.
