Couples intensives are designed to get to the root of the issue

Relationships can be one of the most meaningful aspects of our lives. But when something feels off, everything else can feel harder.

You may be:

Feeling stuck in recurring cycles or emotional distance.

Healing and rebuilding after a breach of trust

Wanting to build emotional closeness

Navigating sexuality and intimacy concerns

Finding that weekly couples sessions aren’t enough time or depth, or your busy schedule makes scheduling weekly sessions challenging

Couples intensives with Andy are perfect for Queer partnerships and those looking to understand the patterns that fuel their disconnection through Emotionally Focused Therapy.

 
 
 
 

Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotionally Focused Therapy couples intensives are designed for partners who are ready to go deeper. Emotionally focused therapy uses the science of attachment theory and understanding of emotions to help couples build a deeper and mutually supportive emotional bond.

Couples well-suited for an emotionally focused therapy intensive are ready to embark on a deeper exploration of what’s buried beneath the surface and reveal what may drive ongoing conflict, communication problems, betrayal, lack of sexual intimacy, and emotional disconnection.

An intensive format allows you to step out of the distractions of daily life and focus fully on your relationship. Instead of stretching the work across months of weekly sessions, we create concentrated time and space to understand what is happening between you—and to begin shifting it.

 
 

LGBTQIA+ & Non-Monogamous Relationships

I provide affirming care for queer couples, LGBTQIA+ partners, transgender and gender expansive relationships, and non-monogamous/polyamorous relationships.

EFT couples therapy intensives honor your identities and your chosen relationship agreements. If you and your partner are navigating questions about identity, sexuality, or relationship structure, intensives offer a space to talk openly about these dynamics and find a greater sense of clarity in a concentrated amount of time.

As a queer and trans person myself, I provide the opportunity to work with someone who “gets it.”

 
 
 

What You Can Expect in a Couples Intensive

Through this process, you will:

  • Gain insight into why you get triggered in arguments with your partner

  • Cultivate more compassion for yourself and your partner

  • Instill trust that your partner will be there for you and confidence that your needs matter

  • Reprogram your brain so that attachment and intimacy feel loving and safe

Instead of trying to “act” differently by using the “correct” communication skills, Emotionally Focused Therapy helps positively shift the dynamics of your relationship from the inside out.

During the intensive, your therapist will guide your back-and-forth communication, helping you discover what unexpressed emotions are prompting conflict and disconnection. You will learn to understand your conflict cycle - how each of you reacts when you feel hurt, unseen, or worried - and how those protective responses unintentionally keep the disconnection going. Your therapist will also guide you in creating new, positive ways of responding to each other.

 

How EFT Intensives Work

  • We identify the negative pattern you both get pulled into. Rather than seeing each other as the problem, you begin to see the cycle as the problem. You gain insight into why you get triggered and what attachment needs are underneath.

  • We explore what’s buried beneath the surface. You uncover the vulnerable emotions driving conflict and cultivate more compassion for yourself and your partner.

  • Your therapist guides your back-and-forth communication. You hear your partner communicate in new ways and learn how to respond in a safe and supportive way.

  • You experience powerful, corrective emotional moments where vulnerability is met with care. These bonding events build trust and help attachment and intimacy feel loving and safe.

  • You leave knowing how to interrupt your conflict cycle and implement these changes into your daily life, with greater confidence that your needs matter and your partner can be there for you.

Protecting Your Investment

The Intensive After-Care Plan

After an intensive, couples often describe feeling a "vulnerability hangover"—you’ve done months of work in a few days and need a bridge back to daily life. Our plan ensures the momentum gained isn't lost to the "real world" routine.

  • An EFT intensive can be a lot for the nervous system. Schedule something soothing afterward—gentle movement, a comforting meal, or a cozy date night—to help your body settle.

  • If possible, keep your schedule lighter the following day to allow time for reflection, journaling, or quiet connection.

  • When emotion arises, slow down, name what is happening, and practice responding with the more supportive communication you developed together.
