Intensive Couples Therapy in Utah
Change Doesn’t Have to Happen in a Therapist’s Office
A Different Kind of Couples Counseling
You may have tried couple’s counseling before… but you’ve never tried it like this.
Some couples don’t have the time—or the capacity—for weekly sessions stretched out over months. Others need privacy that traditional therapy offices can’t provide. That’s where a Couples Therapy Intensive can make all the difference.
Over the course of three weekdays, from 2–6 pm, you and your partner will immerse yourselves in a focused, evidence-based process that helps you reset destructive patterns, rebuild connection, and move forward with clarity.
Delivered in the privacy of your own home or vacation residence, this intensive is designed for couples who expect the highest level of discretion, personalization, and expertise.
Why Work with Me
With over 25 years of experience, I provide the expertise and discretion that couples seeking meaningful change require. My advanced training in the Gottman Method offers a proven, research-based path for strengthening relationships, and my specialized work with affairs, trauma, and addiction addresses challenges that demand a higher level of skill than most couples therapists can offer.
I work with a select group of clients—including physicians, attorneys, executives, public figures, and other high-profile individuals—who value privacy, exclusivity, and results. Each intensive is a highly focused, personalized experience that integrates Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness practices, helping partners regulate emotions, rebuild trust, and reconnect with a deeper sense of presence and lasting commitment.
Coping isn’t enough—you want clarity, healing, and lasting change.
In-home intensives bring the experience directly to you, combining exclusivity with the breakthroughs your relationship needs.
What Is Intensive Couples Counseling?
A couples therapy intensive is a short-term, high-impact counseling experience that compresses months of weekly sessions into just a few days.
Using the Gottman Method, a research-based framework proven to help couples create lasting change, you’ll receive:
A tailored assessment of your relationship dynamics
Individual and joint sessions that uncover patterns beneath conflict
Practical tools for communication, conflict resolution, and intimacy
A clear plan for maintaining progress long after the intensive ends
This is a private, concierge-level service designed exclusively for you and your partner.

Couples Intensives FAQs
-
Intensive couples therapy is ideal for partners who want to make meaningful progress quickly. It’s best suited for couples who are:
Experiencing recurring conflicts or disconnection but are motivated to improve their relationship
Looking to rebuild trust after infidelity or other breaches
Wanting a concentrated opportunity to learn and practice new communication and conflict-management skills
Unable to commit to weekly therapy due to demanding schedules or long-distance circumstances
Intensives provide a structured and supportive space to slow down, reconnect, and focus on your relationship without the distractions of daily life.
-
An intensive couples counseling format probably is not appropriate if:
There is ongoing domestic violence or coercive control
One or both partners are currently struggling with an active, untreated substance use disorders
Either partner is experiencing an acute psychiatric condition that needs stabilization before couples work can begin
There is an active, undisclosed affair that one partner is unwilling to end
In these cases, individual therapy or other forms of support should come first. If you’re unsure, please don’t hesitate to reach out for a consultation.

The Gottman Love Lab, now available through the Gottman Connect telehealth platform, is the most advanced relationship assessment tool ever developed. Originally created for research at the Gottman Institute, this powerful system now allows couples everywhere to benefit from decades of scientific study—without having to travel to the original Seattle “Love Lab.”
As part of your intensive couples counseling, you and your partner will complete a thorough online questionnaire and participate in a guided video-based evaluation. This process provides a detailed, research-backed “x-ray” of your relationship—highlighting patterns of emotion, attunement, conflict, and connection.
Your assessment results help pinpoint the areas where your relationship can grow the most, allowing us to focus our intensive relationship counseling sessions where they’ll have the greatest impact. The result is a deeply personalized roadmap for healing, reconnection, and renewed strength as a couple.

I offer intensive couples therapy as a private, concierge-level experience, designed to meet you where you feel most comfortable—your own private retreat.
Sessions can take place in your home, hotel, vacation rental, or any other indoor setting that offers reliable, secure Wi-Fi and ensures privacy, comfort, and uninterrupted focus.
While I primarily serve clients within a 40–45 mile radius of Salt Lake City, intensive couples counseling can also be arranged elsewhere in Utah, including resort destinations or rural areas. Travel and lodging costs may apply for locations beyond the standard service area.
If your preferred setting is outside this radius, please reach out to discuss available options and customized arrangements.

A 16-hour private couples intensive—typically scheduled over three or four days (about four to five and a half hours per day)—is $8,000.
A 50% deposit is required to reserve your intensive, with the remaining balance due at the start of your first session.
This fee applies to any appropriate location within a 40-mile radius of Salt Lake City, Utah. Intensives held outside this radius may include additional travel and lodging costs.
This immersive format provides the focused time and space needed for deep, lasting change—the kind of transformation that’s difficult to achieve in traditional weekly sessions.
-
Cancellations made more than 30 days in advance of your scheduled intensive are subject to a $500 administrative fee.
Because significant time and preparation go into planning each intensive, deposits become non-refundable once the 30-day window begins.
If you need to reschedule, you may do so one time, provided the new date falls within three months of your original reservation.
