Starting a relationship is often a fun, exhilarating, endorphin-induced experience that can feel blissful, easy - like a natural "high."
Unfortunately - that won't last forever. Or can it?
A relationship is very much like building a house. Tending to every aspect from the foundation to the roof is important. Early in your relationship you likely have the energy to Do-It-Yourself. Some couples might be busy enough in life or recognize the need for a designer to consult your build project. While other couples recognize the need to hire a builder to manage the entire project.
I offer the following services to help couples build their dream relationship.
For the DIYers:
Step 1: Attend a Workshop
Attending an Art & Science of Love Workshop in-person has been shown to be equivalent to 6 months of therapy and produces positive results for 94% of participants. During this workshop, you will learn valuable research based techniques to navigate the differences in your relationship.
Now go home and implement any changes and apply the materials when needed to help strengthen your relationship. You are always welcome to call if you need to schedule some additional support.
For the "Let's consult a Designer" couple:
Step 1: Schedule a Limited Assessment
During this process you will each complete 300+ questions and we will schedule one 90-min session to explore those assessment results, gain some education insight, and leave with a road map of what discussions and exercises from the workshop will be most rewarding to you.
Step 2: Attend a Workshop
Step 3: Relationship Maintenance
Like a Dentist Appointment or oil change for your car. Here we schedule four 60-min sessions approximately 6 months apart. The goal is to instill accountability and follow through; provide specific support on a topic, and to encourage ongoing growth and connection.
For the "Let's hire a Builder" couple"
Step 1: Attend a Workshop
Step 2: Premarital Counseling
We can schedule a 2-Day Retreat or a handful of weekly sessions to explore any looming conflicts and to instill a deep sense of shared meaning - that feeling that you are in this together with a common goal and mission.
Step 3: AfterCare
After completing the Retreat or weekly sessions, we will phase out to monthly sessions for a short period of time, eventually to three-month sessions. These are designed to offer accountability and empowerment as you make a habit out of the changes you desire in your relationship.
Step 4: Relationship Maintenance
Like a Dentist Appointment or oil change for your car. Here we schedule four 60-min sessions approximately 6 months apart. The goal is to instill accountability and follow through; provide specific support on a topic, and to encourage ongoing growth and connection.
