Intensives

Stop letting the same problem take more of your life.

Overthinking can keep you awake, leave you anxious, and drain your energy. Relationship strain can turn time together into tension, silence, or another argument.

An intensive gives you dedicated time to understand what keeps you stuck, change familiar responses, and take practical steps forward.

Four hours of focused, personalized work, with preparation before and follow-up afterward.

Consultations are available via Zoom or in person in Scottsdale.

You know something needs to change.

You’re losing sleep. The anxiety follows you into the day.

Your mind keeps you awake or wakes you up. During the day, you feel tension in your chest or a knot in your stomach. You’re exhausted, less sure of yourself, and have less energy for the people you love.

You share a life, but you’re not enjoying it together.

Time together becomes another disagreement, a conversation about responsibilities, or silence. Feeling misunderstood turns into resentment. You miss wanting to spend time together.

You keep putting it off, and it keeps costing you.

You intend to address what is happening, but everyday demands take over. Another week passes, and the same problem is still affecting your sleep, your choices, or your relationship.

You don’t have to wait until it gets worse to give it your attention.

Understanding the problem hasn’t been enough to change it.

You may know you’re overthinking and still lie awake. You may understand your partner’s point and still react in the same familiar way.

I help you understand the expectations, assumptions, and automatic responses that keep you stuck. Together, we address those responses and practice different ways to handle the situations that bring them up.

Individual intensives combine hypnotherapy, strategic coaching, and practical application. Couples intensives combine strategic coaching with principles informed by Gottman research and other research-informed methods.

We keep your goal in view throughout our time together.

Prepare. Make progress. Put it into practice.

Start with a clear focus.

Complete a questionnaire and meet with me for a one-hour preparation session. We discuss what is happening, identify what you want to change, and agree on priorities.

Couples also complete the online Gottman relationship assessment to help identify strengths and challenges.

Address what keeps you stuck.

Your in-person appointment reserves five hours, including four hours of focused, personalized support, lunch, and breaks.

We have time to explore what keeps you stuck, address familiar responses, and practice what you’ll use afterward. Before you leave, we agree on practical next steps and identify any resources you need.

See what’s changed. Get help where you need it.

In your included follow-up session, we review your progress, address what is still difficult, and discuss whether further support would help.

Talk about what’s happening. Find a clear next step.

You don’t need to know whether an intensive is right for you before we meet.

We’ll discuss what you want to change, how I can help, and whether an intensive or ongoing coaching would better fit your needs.

Consultations available via Zoom or in person in Scottsdale.
