Why is an Experiential Retreat Unique?
The experiential approach has the basic belief that for strong relationships, couples need to meet each other in a genuine manner with intention to promote the deepening of each partner’s intimate experience in the relationship. This retreat will guide couples toward achieving an empathically attuned relationship, a caring bond between partners, in the moment experiencing that is appropriately healthy and healing, and increasing the capacity for reflective awareness (not automatic responding). This allows for personal growth to occur for each partner and growth in the deepening relationship.
​

-
Experience you partner authentically, utilizing healthy communication.

Private Couples Retreat
Scottsdale Arizona
Uncomfortable being in a retreat with other couples?
In crisis, and need strong support and guidance?
Choose a private retreat tailored to your specific needs. A private couples retreat is customized and includes private sessions for you and your partner. Infidelity, conflict resolution, communication issues, building trust, recreating intimacy are all possible issues to focus on. The exact itinerary you experience will depend on your unique situation and your goals. These will be planned in a phone consultation prior to your retreat.
​
Two signifiant significant benefits of a private retreat is that they allow you step away from your busy world and all the demands of your time and attention, to give you complete focus and priority on your relationship. Private retreats also give you signifiant time with a therapist, not just a group facilitator in a group setting, to fully work through difficult topics.
​
Your private couples retreat will take place in beautiful Fountain Hills Arizona, just northeast of Scottsdale. All the private sessions occur in a spacious home set in the hillside, overlooking the desert ecology. SEE THE GALLERY In the evenings, you can enjoy the nightlife of Scottsdale and Phoenix, tour the Desert Botanical Gardens or hike Camelback Mountain.
I serve as a tour guide for the activities in the evening!
