Couples Therapy, Intensives & Retreats

Imagine having a relationship where you feel:

  • Appreciated, Admired, Respected and cared for by your partner

  • Emotionally safe in having conflict and in sharing vulnerabilities

  • Trust that you are accepted and loved, flaws and all

  • Joyful in moments within your marriage and life with relative frequency

  • Empowered to be your most authentic self every day

  • Supported in your dreams

  • Celebrated in your achievements and comforted in your defeats.

Creating an Intentional Marriage

Creating a fulfilling and successful marriage may feel impossible at times, but I promise you—it’s not. It doesn’t just happen because you said “I do” or made big promises at the altar. A thriving marriage requires intentional effort, clear goals, and daily choices that align with the kind of relationship you actually want.

Here’s the thing: most couples assume they’re “doing the right things” without stopping to ask why. They go through the motions, checking off boxes, but without clarity on the purpose behind their actions. And when we live in assumption-land, it usually ends with frustration, conflict, and resentment. You think your partner “should just know” what you mean, and they’re thinking the same thing about you. Cue the disconnection.

Intentional marriages require clarity. That means slowing down to ask questions, checking if you’re truly aligned, and being brave enough to say, “Hey, I think I’m assuming something here—can we pause and get clear?” When couples take the time to understand their goals and intentions—and how those overlap or differ—they stop spinning their wheels. Instead, they step into conscious choice, collaboration, and actual connection.

From my experience as a therapist, lack of intentionality and clarity sit at the root of so many relationship struggles. Without them, couples start questioning if all their effort is even worth it, and that spiral only creates more distance. But when you face the hard stuff directly, instead of pushing it aside or hoping it magically gets better, you take back your power. That’s when marriage shifts from survival to growth—and yes, to joy.

Craving a more intentional and purposeful relationship?

Healthy, connected relationships don’t just happen — they are built with care and intention. My Connection with IntentionCouples Intensive is designed to help you pause, reset, and do the deep work your relationship deserves. In this focused program, we go beyond surface-level conflict to uncover the emotions, needs, and dreams that truly matter. Together, we’ll create a path toward better communication, deeper connection, and a relationship that feels aligned, supportive, and alive.

Why Intensive Therapy?

Intensive therapy offers several unique benefits that can significantly enhance the therapeutic process:

1. Deeper Exploration: Intensive therapy allows us to delve deeper into your concerns and challenges, providing more time for in-depth exploration and healing.

2. Faster Progress: With concentrated sessions over four days, clients often experience faster and more substantial progress, addressing issues more effectively.

3. Increased Focus: The extended time together allows us to maintain a more concentrated focus on your therapeutic goals, leading to greater insight and personal transformation.

4. Immediate Integration: By spending concentrated time together, you can immediately apply the insights and tools gained during therapy to your daily life.

How I Work

In my role as your therapist, whether we're meeting face-to-face or virtually, I serve as your steadfast advocate. Our therapeutic journey begins by clearly defining your therapy objectives, and from there, we embark on the transformative work ahead. My primary role is to provide unwavering support as you navigate the discomfort that often accompanies personal growth and change. This is why seeking guidance from a trained and licensed therapist is paramount.

I will assist you in identifying the fears that may be obstructing your path and stand by your side as you confront these fears head-on. Naturally, I'll be there to share in your celebrations or provide support during moments of grief as you navigate the outcomes of your efforts. Through this process, you'll discover that facing your fears doesn't result in immediate rainbows and sunshine. However, the anxiety and worry that these fears once provoked will diminish, and you'll realize that the world remains intact (aside from the pressing issue of climate change, of course).

For couples seeking an in-person experience, I offer intensive therapy sessions at my office in Upcountry Maui. These intensives span one week, with Wednesdays designated as a day for reflection and enjoying the beauty of this remarkable island. This is the model of therapy that I have seen to be most effective and gives you the quickest answer to the question of if this relationship will work or needs to transition to being apart. I also offer full day sessions for couples who may not need a full week or for couples who want to come in quarterly for check ins. This option is also extremely effective, especially once we have established a relationship and can work on one issue for that day long session.

If you're uncertain about where to begin, I recommend joining my patreon. You will have access to a library of videos, podcast, blogs and worksheets that I have created over the years. It serves as an excellent introduction to the therapeutic process with me, equipping you with foundational language and tools to begin enhancing your partnership.
