Transform Your Relationship in Days Through Intensive Couples Therapy.

Transformative therapy for couples or families seeking genuine connection and sustainable change — not quick fixes or false promises.

Transform Your Relationship in Days, Not Years

Immersive weekend experiences for couples and families who refuse to settle for 'good enough' and are ready for breakthrough, not just 'better.'

It’s time to have the relationship you desire. I’ll help you change the rules, beliefs, or patterns that have gotten your relationship stuck. 

When you find what you’re doing now just isn’t sustainable, I’ll help you make real progress towards authentic growth.

Traditional “talk” therapy teaches you surface-level adjustments that might feel good temporarily, but they don’t create lasting change. A change that your relationship might need right now in order to thrive for years to come.

At People Not Problems, I work with couples as a whole. We dig into root causes and rewrite the rules and roles of the entire system, not just one individual.

See if this deep change is what your relationship needs,

Is this for you?

You're the couple who looks successful at dinner parties but haven't had real intimacy in months, who can seamlessly run a company but can't navigate a conversation about what you actually want without friction.

Perhaps you're navigating:

  • The complex work of rebuilding after betrayal or broken trust

  • Conversations you've been afraid to have—about desire, identity, or alternative relationship structures

  • Emotional distance that's accumulated over years

  • One partner who's skeptical of therapy but willing to try something different

  • Patterns that worked once but now keep you stuck

  • Aspects of yourselves or your relationship that other therapists seemed uncomfortable discussing

You're ready to invest in work that actually creates change, not just insight.

You value authenticity over appearances. You're not looking for someone to tell you how to be—you're looking for someone to truly see what's happening and help you discover your own transformation.

If this is you, let's see if we're a fit.

Deep Work for a Deeper Connection

Our work together will involve deep introspection.  It takes commitment and willingness to test out innovative methods. It will challenge you to get vulnerable and may even feel uncomfortable, but will ultimately lead to a more fulfilling relationship for both sides. Couples walk away feeling more aligned in their relationship goals and values and more empowered in living out the relationship they actually desire.

Let’s explore if this intensive work is the right fit for both of you.

Sustainable and Long-Term Change

When agreeing to argue less isn’t working, it’s time to work on the conflicts that are causing disconnection in the first place. In our work together, we’ll explore fundamental shifts in the existing relationship framework. For example, promising to take turns doing housework or picking up kids only alleviates conflict short-term and doesn’t address deeper power dynamics. Or agreeing to weekly date nights might be good for carving out time together, but it doesn’t necessarily deepen the emotional bond or change any relationship patterns that are causing the conflict.

When you’re ready to foster lasting change, schedule your free consultation.

Beyond First-Order Fixes to Second-Order Transformation

Approach

My work is grounded in the belief that lasting change comes not from managing symptoms, but from transforming the very rules that govern your relationship. Through experiential activities and what narrative therapy calls "thicker stories," we explore the emotional landscapes that shape your connection.

We won’t just talk about feelings. We don’t only focus on behavior. We’ll look at the system and build a new structure where strength and connection work together.

It’s not about fixing one person. It’s about changing what’s possible. I help both of you transform the system that keeps you stuck in roles that aren’t working for you.

This isn’t about learning communication tricks — it’s about creating a deeper emotional system where both partners can show up without fear. It’s about creating a relationship that functions in a deeper, more tender way.

This isn’t about defining who you are. It’s about freeing how you connect. I work at the intersection of identity, embodiment, and relationship — because that’s where real change lives.

Our work won’t follow a template or achieve predetermined outcomes. Instead, you’ll have a committed witness to your relationship to help you work towards solutions on your terms. 

Transformational change will emerge on your timeline. But it's YOUR change, discovered through thoughtful, human co-exploration.
