ACCELERATED HEALING FOR LASTING TRANSFORMATION
Therapy Intensives
Helping you to heal and reclaim your life.
Weekly therapy might not be the answer for you.
You’re having a great session and time runs out. You walk away feeling like “I was on the verge of a breakthrough!” or “I feel better but just needed a little more time to resolve this.” The next session you struggle to reconnect to the problem with the same motivation and readiness or your priorities shifted - you’ve lost momentum. Your progress feels inconsistent and incremental.
Maybe you’ve never done regular therapy because your schedule or finances won’t allow for it.
You’re ready to feel better faster and want long lasting results.
What Are Therapy Intensives?
Therapy intensives are an immersive and concentrated form of therapy designed to accelerate healing and progress so significant breakthroughs can occur rapidly. Rather than spending each week catching up on recent events, we maintain continuity and build upon insights from hour to hour, creating sustained momentum that accelerates your journey towards well-being.
The intensive format allows us to dive deep into the felt sense of your experiences, moving beyond surface-level conversations to explore how your unique patterns show up in your daily life. Therapy Intensives help you change the pattern you use to interact with life. These patterns may come from family history, cultural influences, learned coping mechanisms that no longer serve, thought patterns that create loops, temperamental traits that affect relationships, and attachment styles that influence how you navigate daily life. This concentrated approach often leads to breakthrough moments that shift your entire perspective on long-standing challenges and concerns.
While the time spent in an intensive is concentrated, the experience of the work is still a gentle, guided approach to unravel patterns that block you from your true self and access your system's natural capacity for healing and regulation. Your system can relax as we reduce the urgency of time constraints allowing you to unpack the problems without worrying if there is enough time to get to it all.
How it works
Consult: We’ll start with a 30-minute consultation call to ensure this model is the right fit for you, and that I’m the right therapist to support you. During this time, we’ll also determine the length and number of intensive sessions you are likely to need. This can always be adjusted later, if needed.
Pre-Intake: You’ll complete a detailed intake packet sharing about your background, current challenges, and goals.
Pre-Intensive Session: We’ll meet for a 50-minute intake session to review additional information and create a detailed plan, including goals and outcome measures to ensure we can accurately track your progress.
Plan: I’ll craft a customized plan combining talk therapy, Brainspotting, Accelerated Resourcing, and Somatic therapies that work directly with your natural capacity for deep healing.
Intensive Session(s): We’ll meet for the selected number of sessions online.
(Optional) Post-Intensive Session: To measure your progress, debrief, and ensure you feel well-equipped to integrate your new insights into daily life, we can meet for an optional 50-minute post-intensive session.
Faster results for less
Intensives are investments in your overall wellbeing—and often less expensive than traditional therapy. In a single 3-hour intensive, you can accomplish what is likely to take months of weekly therapy. At $200 or $300/session, this adds up quickly.
When you choose an intensive, you’re not just saving money—you’re saving time, too. This model is focused on spending focused, concentrated time on the deep work that’s actually going to result in change in your day-to-day life.
50-minute session
5-10 minutes of “check-in”
30-40 minutes of therapeutic work
5-10 minutes “closing up”
3-hour Therapy Intensive
15 minutes of “check-in”
2.5 HOURS of therapeutic work
15 minutes “closing up”
That’s the equivalent of five 50-minute sessions or more than a month of therapy - in a single day!
Who can benefit
Therapy Intensives are perfect for people that are ready for relief now. If you have a specific topic, trauma, or stressor that you want support with - this can be the focus of your therapy Intensive.
Trauma Having multiple hours allows you to settle into the experience, and to process and integrate completely, preventing re-traumatization that can occur when difficult material is opened but not fully processed. Complex trauma especially benefits from this extended approach to treatment.
Anxiety Instead of learning coping strategies to tolerate anxiety, you can explore the underlying nervous system responses that generate anxious states, leading to more sustainable changes.
Depression Instead of struggling to remember the insights or finding motivation to show up, the concentrated nature of intensive treatment helps break through depressive patterns more effectively.
Busy schedules significant progress without extending treatment indefinitely. The concentrated time investment often proves more efficient than months of weekly sessions.
Neurological conditions intensives allow for unpacking the changes in changes in functioning in addition to physical, emotional and mental changes.
Specific topics or stressors these can include people pleasing, imposter syndrome, parental stress, relationship issues, or any other topics that prevent you from showing up as the best version of you.

When issues are processed there is a release of the physical and emotional patterns that have been holding us stuck. Unburdening comes with both a lightness of letting go and sometimes exhaustion as we realize the magnitude of the weight we were carrying and the energy we were expending to hold it all together.
The process doesn’t have to be painful. We will continue to work through issues in a gentle guided format that allows you to go at the pace that is right for you. My approach also integrates resourcing techniques to help you shift your emotional and physical reactions in a quick and painless way so that the wound is just a memory. Similar to scraping your knee, while injured it hurts. Once it is healed, it is just a memory and the pain no longer accompanies it - even when you poke it!
-
After a Therapy Intensive you are able to follow a new pattern, but it is easy to fall back into old habits. We will spend time towards the end of the intensive to talk about maintenance and prevention. You are adjusting to the changes, and similar to getting used to a new floorplan when you move your mindset and what you tell yourself matters. Preparing, managing expectations and new scripts will help you adapt as you settle into a healthier version of you.

Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
