"You’re not the problem.
Your spouse is not the problem.
The pattern is.
And once you see it, you can change it."
The Rx Plan: A 6-week reset for high-achieving couples stuck in painful cycles. Designed for couples in medicine, dentistry, and other high-demand professions—where success at work too often comes at the cost of connection at home.
Here’s what’s included in The Rx Plan:
Your 6-week Marriage Rx journey
-
ASSESSStart with a deep-dive intake process. Each partner completes an individual assessment to uncover emotional patterns, conflict styles, and power dynamics. Crystal personally reviews every answer before meeting with either of you—so the work begins even before your first session.
-
DXYou both meet with Crystal in a one-on-one session. She'll help you identify your core cycle and triggers, and walk you through your personalized My Marriage Pattern Map (PDF)—a clear visual that helps you understand how disconnection happens and how to change it.
-
RXBased on your dynamic, Crystal creates a tailored treatment plan. You’ll receive curated reconnection tools, video content, scripts, and reflection prompts—matched to your specific emotional and communication patterns.
-
TXOver six weeks, you'll walk through this guided plan at your own pace. You’ll receive weekly modules, structured reflection prompts, access to ongoing support, and a final wrap-up session to reinforce progress, celebrate growth, and re-enter your relationship with clarity and compassion. This concludes with another 1-on-1 session with Crystal to discuss growth and continuation of increased connection.
Note: Terms like “Assess,” “Dx,” “Rx,” and “Tx” are used metaphorically in Marriage Rx to describe relationship education—not medical or mental health care.
This is a no-pressure consultation to explore fit—on both sides. I only take a few couples at a time, so I want to make sure this is the right approach for you, and that I’m the right guide.
Skip the wait. I often have a short waitlist, so if you’re ready to move forward, click below to get on the priority call-back list. This ensures you’ll be contacted as soon as a spot opens up.
Optional Add-Ons:
Sex-focused customization

Some couples discover that beneath their conflict is a deeper sense of disconnection—emotionally, physically, and sexually.
-
If this is part of your dynamic, we can customize your Rx Plan to include a focused module on desire, communication, consent, and shame-free intimacy. This includes:
-
Education around sexual cycles and mismatched desire
-
Tools to talk about sex without triggering shame or shutdown
-
Insight into how faith, family messages, or power dynamics may be shaping your experience
-
Scripts and guided exercises to build safety, curiosity, and closeness
-
This add-on can be included during your Rx phase or added after the core 6-week process if you'd prefer to start there first.
Faith Differences or Transitions customization
When one or both partners are experiencing a shift in faith, it can shake the foundation of your relationship. Maybe you no longer see eye-to-eye spiritually. Maybe one of you is questioning, and the other feels abandoned or afraid. Maybe you’re trying to raise kids while quietly holding very different beliefs.
​
This add-on supports couples navigating:
-
Faith transitions or disaffiliation (e.g., LDS, Christian, or other traditions)
-
Mixed-faith marriages or faith–no-faith pairings
-
Guilt, grief, betrayal, or fear related to spiritual identity
-
Rebuilding connection without shared certainty
Together, we’ll create space for:
-
Honest conversations without attacking or defending
-
Understanding the emotional layers under religious identity
-
Differentiating between spiritual beliefs and relational needs
-
Creating new agreements, rituals, and ways of showing up for each other
You don’t have to be “on the same page” spiritually to move forward.
You just have to be willing to turn toward each other—even with different views.

Couple’s Retreat or Future Intensives

For couples who are a strong fit and want to go deeper, I offer occasional in-person intensives or private couple’s retreats.
These are designed for couples who want:
-
Focused time away from distractions
-
Deep-dive support in a beautiful, calming setting
-
Personalized guidance to address persistent disconnection, repair, or intimacy work
-
Space to reconnect emotionally, spiritually, and physically
These intensives are by invitation only and reserved for couples I’ve already worked with or assessed as a strong match. If it seems like the right fit, we’ll talk about this option during or after your core The Rx Plan.

Frequently Asked Questions

TX

You’ll walk through this 6-week guided transformation with video modules, reflection prompts, and structured support.

This is for you if:
You’re a high-achieving couple—you've sacrificed for a high demand career—and somewhere along the way, your relationship slipped into survival mode.
You are both trying, but the spark, kindness, or emotional safety (and often sex) has faded—and you don’t know how to get it back.
You’ve tried traditional therapy, but it didn’t speak to your specific dynamic, or it stalled out before anything really changed.
You’re successful in so many areas of life—but not in the one place that matters most: your connection with each other.
You want to understand what’s happen ing beneath the surface, stop repeating the same fights, and finally feel close again.
