Heal in days. Not years,

What is an EMDR Intensive?

An EMDR Intensive is a focused, extended session — typically a half-day, full day, or multi-day experience — designed to accelerate trauma processing in a way that weekly one-hour appointments rarely can.

Instead of spending months building up to the hard work, we begin it together. You arrive prepared. We go deep. And you leave with real movement.

I offer intensives because I’ve seen what becomes possible when we give trauma the time, the container, and the clinical expertise it actually deserves.

For people who are ready to do the deep work — but can’t wait months to feel better. EMDR intensives offer the concentrated time and space to process trauma that weekly therapy simply can’t.

What to Expect in Any Intensive

Before

We start with a free 20-minute consultation call. If it’s a strong fit, you’ll complete a paid 60-minute prep session to build your resourcing toolkit and clarify your focus.

During

Your intensive is held in a private, comfortable setting. We move at your pace with built-in breaks and careful attention to your window of tolerance. This isn’t about pushing through — it’s about working with your nervous system.

After

Every package includes a 60-minute integration session. Processing often continues for a few days after — that’s normal and expected. Your integration session is where we help you land.

In-Person or Remote?
Your Choice

All intensives are available both in-person and fully remote via a secure, HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform. The format is yours to choose. Whether you prefer to work face-to-face in a private office setting or from the comfort and privacy of your own home, the depth and quality of the work remains the same. Many clients find that the familiarity of their own environment actually supports the process.
