Marriage Intensive · Managed Separation · Amicable Divorce
Two- and three-month programs for couples who are done with the status quo.
Once-a-week sessions rarely move a marriage that therapy hasn’t maintained changes before, especially not one in crisis. These intensive programs are designed to create lasting change. Each path is structured, time-limited, and built around one goal: clarity and real change, fast. I keep my caseload small on purpose, so the couples I work with get everything I have. I can only work with a limited number of couples at a time in intensives.
Every program
What Every Program Includes
- A 90-minute onboarding session and a second 90-minute couples session to start strong.
- Regular 60-minute couples sessions on a set schedule.
- Individual sessions for each spouse.
- Direct access to me between sessions via Voxer, a messaging app where we can have one chat room for each individual and me, and one for the three of us. Text or voice. This is reserved for program clients exclusively, and can be a game changer because you can receive support and coaching between sessions.
- Membership in Relationship University for the length of your program.
- Required reading and assignments. This is work, not talk.
- The option to continue month to month when the program ends.

Three Programs. One Goal: Clarity and Real Change.
Save the marriage
Marriage Intensive
For couples who want to save the marriage and are stuck or in extreme distress. You’ve tried things. The needle hasn’t moved. You need one last real shot.
This is all-in, do-or-die work. Although I tailor each intensive to the couple I work with, the typical two-month program includes once-a-week coaching (the first two at 90 minutes) plus two individual sessions for each of you, completed within 12 weeks. By the end, the goal is massive improvement.
What I need from you: two reasonable people who make this a priority and do the assignments. I will make each of you angry at times. That’s expected. You come back to the conversation anyway. That’s part of what we all must do: return for difficult conversations.
Pause, with a plan
Managed Separation
For couples whose marriage would almost certainly end in divorce otherwise. Sometimes the anger and distress are so high that neither of you can feel the love underneath. A managed separation gives you space with a reason, a purpose, and a timeline, so you don’t end a marriage that could have been saved.
Eight couples meetings within three months, the first two at 90 minutes, plus two individual sessions for each of you. Together we create a good-faith separation agreement. It is not a legal document and is never used in divorce proceedings. You also receive the Managed Separation Plan™ guide and supporting worksheets, including custody schedules if you have children.
End it with dignity
Amicable Divorce
For couples who have decided to divorce and want to do it with dignity and the chance at an amicable co-parenting relationship. Divorce doesn’t have to mean a war between lawyers, drained bank accounts, and kids caught in the middle.
I oversee the process so you can make decisions together, communicate without blowing up, and build a co-parenting plan that puts your children first. Most couples need far less lawyer time than they think. It’s a two-month program you can renew if you need more time.
Investment
Programs run $1,500 to $3,000 per month, depending on the program and the level of support you need. Your exact fee is in the proposal you receive after your consultation. Payment plans are available.
Is Your Spouse Not on Board?
You can still do this work. Individual Marriage Crisis Coaching is for people whose spouse won’t do the work, or who want to do it on their own. Learn more about Individual Marriage Crisis Coaching →

How to Start
Every program starts with the 90-Minute Marriage Crisis Consultation. We look at what’s really going on. Afterward, I’ll send you my recommendation and a proposal tailored to your situation. If I’m not the right fit, I’ll tell you and refer you to someone who is.
