Hold Me Tight® Retreats
Deepen connection and strengthen your relationship through the power of Emotionally Focused Therapy.
In-person retreats in San Diego.
Relationships thrive when we feel emotionally connected, understood, and supported.
Hold Me Tight® Retreats offer couples the opportunity to step away from the demands of everyday life and focus on what matters most — their relationship. Inspired by the work of Dr. Sue Johnson and grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy, these retreats help couples strengthen communication, understand their patterns, and create deeper emotional connection.
Whether your relationship is struggling or simply needs intentional attention, meaningful change is possible.
What Is Hold Me Tight®?
Hold Me Tight® is an internationally recognized relationship program based on Emotionally Focused Therapy and the work of Dr. Sue Johnson.
Through a combination of teaching, reflection, and guided conversations, couples learn to better understand themselves, each other, and the patterns that keep them stuck.
The goal isn't to eliminate conflict. The goal is to strengthen the emotional bond that helps couples navigate life's challenges together.

The Power of Emotional Connection
Research consistently shows that secure emotional connection is one of the strongest predictors of relationship satisfaction.
When couples feel emotionally safe and connected, they are better able to navigate conflict, stress, parenting, and life's challenges together.
Hold Me Tight® Retreats are designed to help couples create that foundation.
"Strong relationships aren't built by avoiding conflict. They're built by learning how to find each other again."
A Beautiful Space to Slow Down and Reconnect
I believe environment matters. My Mission Valley office provides a calm, welcoming space where couples can slow down, reconnect, and focus on what matters most. Easy freeway access and ample parking make attending simple and convenient.
