Single day
Six hours with breaks, in one sitting.
Best for couples who want it done and dusted.
Intensives
One day. Your whole household on the table.
A private, structured session for two people who are tired of having the same argument.
Who this is for.
You have had the conversation. Maybe a dozen times. One of you feels like you are running everything and cannot put it down. The other feels like they help constantly and it is never enough. Both of you are telling the truth about your own experience, and that is exactly why talking about it has stopped working.
An intensive is not therapy and it is not a date night with worksheets. It is a working session where the two of you look at real data about your own household and leave with agreements you actually made rather than intentions you meant well by.
How the day works.
Before we meet, you both complete the Balancing Acts assessment separately. I review your results and your perception gaps ahead of time, so we are not spending the day gathering information. We are spending it on what the information shows.
01
See it
We go through your results together. Where the labor actually sits, where the two of you disagree about where it sits, and which domains are carrying the most weight. Most couples find something here that surprises at least one of them.
02
Name it
We work through the domains that matter most to your household. Not all nine. The ones your data says are costing you. This is where the manager and helper pattern usually becomes impossible to unsee.
03
Build it
You leave with specific agreements. Who owns what, including the noticing and the deciding, not just the doing. Written down, in your words, not mine.
What you get.
- The Balancing Acts assessment for both partners, completed before we meet
- Six hours of facilitated work, structured with breaks
- A written record of the agreements you build
- A thirty minute follow up call thirty days later
The follow up is not an add on. It is the part that decides whether the day changes anything. Most household agreements quietly dissolve within a month, and knowing a conversation is coming is what keeps them alive.
What this is not.
This is educational and facilitative work built on the Balancing Acts Framework. It is not therapy, it does not create a therapeutic relationship, and it is not a substitute for couples counseling.
If what surfaces during our day together needs clinical care, I will tell you plainly and help you find the right person. Some couples are better served by therapy first, and I would rather say so than take your money.
I do not offer intensives to my current therapy clients.
Format and investment.
Split weekend
Two half days across a Saturday and Sunday.
Best for couples with kids, or anyone who processes better with a night in between.
In person or virtual
In person in the greater Atlanta area. Virtual for couples anywhere else.
For virtual, the split weekend usually works better than six hours on video in one sitting.
All formats include everything listed above.
Investment: $1,800. Payment plans available, with half due at booking and half before the session.
Founding rate of $1,200 for the first three couples.
Who you’d be working with.
I built the Balancing Acts Framework and the assessment it runs on. I hold a Master of Family Therapy from Mercer University School of Medicine and a Ph.D. from Fordham University, and I have spent sixteen years across the university classroom and international nonprofit work studying how households distribute work that nobody assigned.
This is the framework applied directly, by the person who designed it.
More about me
Start with a conversation.
Every intensive begins with a short call. You tell me what is going on, I tell you honestly whether this is the right fit, and neither of us wastes the other’s time.
