What is an EMDR & somatic Therapy Intensive?
Unhurried time to process trauma, reshape patterns, or expand performance goals. Faster breakthroughs in less time - go deeper without weekly sessions dragging it out.
I offer a unique blend of EMDR & Somatic Experiencing (SE) therapy to help you transform from stuck and overwhelmed to peaceful and in control by healing past trauma and rewiring the mind, creating permanent change in your life and relationships.
An EMDR & SE therapy intensive is a focused, short-term therapy format that allows for deep, accelerated healing over the course of 3 hours. Instead of meeting for weekly 50-minute sessions, we work together in 3 hour increments weather that is 3 hours in row or broken up into two 90 minute segments of time.
This approach is ideal if you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to move through something specific without the stop-and-start of weekly therapy.
It can help you make meaningful progress in a fraction of the time, often reducing the total number of sessions needed overall.

Why choose a Therapy Intensive?
An Intensive is effective and efficient.
Save time. Weekly therapy often includes hidden time costs such as travel, settling in, and wrapping up. With intensives, every minute is focused time. You receive more support in fewer sessions without the weekly logistics.
Get more value. Research shows that intensives can be more effective than weekly sessions. While the upfront cost is higher, they often lead to faster progress and can save you time and money over the long term.
Feel better faster. Start feeling more focused at work, more present at home, and more at ease in your downtime without waiting months for results.
What is Included In an EMDR/SE Therapy Intensive?
Free Consult (15 Min)
Our work begins with a brief video consultation to determine whether an intensive is the right fit for your needs. You’ll have a chance to ask questions, share what’s bringing you to therapy, and get a feel for how I work. If we decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your intake and reserve your intensive dates.
Intake Session (1hr)
Before we dive into the Intensive, we meet for an intake session. Here, we explore your history, goals, and what you hope to gain from this experience.
Intensive Sessions (3-hr session)
Intensive sessions are one or more 3-hour sessions of EMDR/SE processing. The session can be broken up into two 90-minute increments.
This pacing allows you to go deep without becoming overwhelmed, and the time between sessions gives your mind and body space to integrate the work.
