I offer 1-and 2-day workshop formats. We will collaborate to design a customized structure tailored to each couple’s specific needs and goals. This format allows couples more time to delve deeper into their relationship dynamics without the schedule constraints of traditional therapy.

After participating, you will leave with:

  • An awareness of your negative cycle and how to de-escalate conflict.

  • A clearer understanding of the root causes of conflict and the tools to communicate with each other more effectively.

  • A refame of how you approach the issues in your relationship, viewing yourself and your partner in a new way.

  • An improved understanding of you and your partner’s emotions, fears, and relationship hopes.

Workshop FAQs

    • This format will not be productive if being together in the same room is too triggering, and you can’t be civil toward each other.

However, if you are undecided together and willing to explore moving forward or ending the relationship, that is a common goal and will work for this format.
