Don’t Keep Waiting For The Relationship You’ve Been Yearning For

Session Rates & Frequently Asked Questions

Session Structure
Rates are discussed during the consultation call. Sessions have a 1.5-hour minimum to allow enough space for the work to unfold. Most couples choose 2-hour sessions, as the added time supports steadier pacing, clearer insight, and deeper connection—without rushing toward closure. Longer sessions are available for couples who want additional time to move through patterns with care and depth.

This work is intentional and immersive. It’s designed for couples who are ready to move beyond temporary fixes and into something deeper.

Insurance & Out-of-Network Care

I work out of network and do not bill insurance directly. Depending on your plan, you may be eligible for partial reimbursement through out-of-network mental health benefits.

For Colorado clients, I partner with Thrizer to make this process easier. Thrizer can estimate benefits, submit claims for you, and help reduce out-of-pocket costs when eligible. Use the widget below to get a personalized estimate and see what reimbursement may look like for our work together. Eligibility and reimbursement vary by plan. The below is set for two hour sessions.

Why Work Outside of Insurance?

Working outside of insurance allows the therapy to stay focused on depth, pacing, and meaningful change—rather than diagnosis requirements, session limits, or administrative constraints.

This structure supports:

-Longer, more spacious sessions
-Flexible pacing based on your relationship’s needs
-A focus on patterns, connection, and nervous-system regulation
-Care shaped by what actually supports lasting repair

Therapy is an investment in your emotional and relational health, and this model allows the work to remain relational, intentional, and responsive.

Good Faith Estimate
If you are not using insurance, you have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate outlining the expected cost of services, in accordance with the No Surprises Act.

You may request this estimate before scheduling services or at any time prior to care.
If you receive a bill that is $400 or more above your Good Faith Estimate, you have the right to dispute the charge.

Learn more at cms.gov/nosurprises or by calling 800-985-3059.

Payment & Cancellation Policy
Payment is due at the time of service. Accepted forms of payment include:

-Credit card
-Debit card
-HSA/FSA card

A 24-hour notice is required for cancellations or reschedules. Sessions canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice may be charged at the full session rate.

What is couples therapy and how does it work?

Couples therapy helps partners understand the patterns that keep them stuck in conflict, distance, or emotional shutdown. Instead of focusing only on communication tips, this work looks at attachment, nervous system responses, and unmet needs—so couples can create lasting change, not just temporary relief.

What is relationship coaching?

Relationship coaching is a forward-focused, skills-based approach for individuals or couples who want clarity, pattern awareness, and relational growth without a mental health diagnosis. Coaching helps clients understand how they show up in relationships and choose new, more secure ways of relating.

How is your couples therapy different from traditional couples counseling?

Many couples counseling approaches focus on managing conflict. My work focuses on rewiring the patterns underneath the conflict. We slow things down, create emotional safety first, and help each partner respond differently at the exact moments where the relationship usually goes off track.

How is relationship coaching different from therapy?

Therapy often focuses on healing past wounds and clinical symptoms. Relationship coaching focuses on present patterns, nervous system regulation, and actionable change. Coaching is ideal for high-functioning individuals or couples who want results, insight, and practical tools.

When should couples start therapy?

Couples don’t have to be “on the brink” to benefit from therapy. Many seek support when they feel emotionally distant, stuck in the same arguments, recovering from trust injuries, or struggling to feel like a team again. Early support often prevents deeper rupture later.

How long does couples therapy or coaching take?
Every relationship is different. Some clients notice shifts quickly, while others choose ongoing support to create steady, lasting change. At a minimum I see couples shift in the first six sessions.
How do I get started?
The first step is scheduling a consultation to clarify your goals and determine whether couples therapy, relationship coaching, or dating therapy is the best fit. If you know this is the therapy, coaching or intensive for you- please feel free to contact us directly to get on the schedule for your first session.
How much do you charge and do you take insurance?
I am an out-of-network provider and discuss rates during the consultation to ensure full transparency. I use Thrizer to help clients access out-of-network benefits, and many receive 40–80% reimbursement, depending on their plan.

Frequently asked questions

Intensives

“We’ve tried couples therapy before, and it didn’t work for us.”

Many couples arrive here saying this and it makes sense. Traditional couples therapy often stays at the level of talking about feelings without clearly interrupting the patterns that keep repeating. Insight alone doesn’t change a relationship if the cycle stays intact. This work is different. Couples intensives are structured, intentional, and focused on identifying the root of your relational patterns — not just processing emotions. We work directly with the moments your relationship goes off-track and practice new ways of responding in real time. The goal isn’t to analyze endlessly.
It’s to understand the pattern, soften it, and begin changing it with tools you can actually use.

“Our schedules are too busy right now.”

For many couples, busyness isn’t the problem... it’s the backdrop. Careers, parenting, transitions, and responsibilities often leave very little room for sustained weekly sessions. Over time, the relationship becomes the place where everything waits. Couples intensives are designed for this reality.

Instead of trying to carve out a few hours every week, you set aside intentional time — one, two, or three days — to focus fully on your relationship. Many couples find this approach more realistic, more contained, and ultimately more effective. Making space for this work isn’t about doing more.
It’s about choosing what matters.

“We’re not sure we can afford this.”
This is a very real and understandable concern.

An intensive is an investment — and it’s also worth holding it alongside the cost of not addressing what’s happening. Separation and divorce often come with significant emotional, financial, and logistical costs that far exceed the price of this work. Many couples also notice something else: the investment in an intensive is often less than what they spent on their wedding day — yet it’s focused on supporting the marriage itself, not just the celebration of it.
This work is about learning how to resolve resentment, interrupt damaging cycles, and build a relationship that can actually carry you forward. For many couples, that investment becomes foundational — not just for this season, but for years to come.

Choosing this work isn’t about spending money.
It’s about deciding what kind of future you want to protect.

“Is this work done in person or via telehealth?

Both options are available, depending on what best supports your relationship.

Couples intensives can be offered in person or through secure telehealth. Telehealth intensives are structured with care — including pacing, breaks, and support for emotional regulation — and many couples are surprised by how effective and connected the work feels, even from a distance.

In-person intensives are available and encouraged in Colorado and Massachussetts.

During the consultation, we’ll talk through what option best fits your needs, location, and the level of support you’re looking for.

“What happens after the intensive ends?”

Change doesn’t stop when the intensive ends, that’s when integration begins.

Depending on the tier you choose, follow-up sessions may be included or recommended to help support what shifts during the intensive. These sessions allow space to apply tools, navigate real-life moments, and reinforce new patterns so the work doesn’t stay isolated in the experience itself.

The goal is sustainable change, not a one-time conversation.

“Is this only for couples in crisis?”

No. Couples intensives support both crisis moments and relationships that feel emotionally distant or stuck over time.

Some couples come in after an affair or major rupture. Others arrive because the connection has slowly faded, conflict feels repetitive, or they don’t want things to get worse. This work meets your relationship where it is, urgent or simply asking for more care.

  • On the edge of separation and don’t know what to do next

  • There’s been a betrayal or emotional injury that’s left a deep divide

  • Feeling more like roommates or opponents than partners

  • Communication breaks down, no matter how hard you try

  • Preparing for marriage or parenthood and want a strong foundation

  • Navigating the stress of military life or a major life transition

    • Reconnecting through every TDY, PCS, and deployment. The distance grows—not just physically, but emotionally. The challenges of constant change wear on your relationship, fights become more frequent, and the sense of connection feels like it’s slipping away. 

  • You’ve tried therapy before—but nothing has really shifted

  • You want a therapist who understands marriage, parenthood, and cultural context

  • Spanish speaking therapist 

  • A therapist trained in Relationship Theory Model!
