We dive in.
We’ll build rapport, I’ll learn about your needs, goals, obstacles, & strengths, & I’ll cater the therapy experience to you!
Therapy is an investment of your time, money, energy, & emotions, so I find it best that you decide how frequently you schedule. You can do that with me at the end of each session, or you can schedule at your leisure using the SimplePractice portal.
If your treatment plan ever needs an update, we can always change your goals, preferred interventions, & frequency of appointments with ease. Just ask!

Half-Day Intensives:
Deep Healing in One Session
Our half-day intensives are 3-hour (175-minute) sessions designed to offer focused, uninterrupted time to move through deeper layers of healing. Whether you're looking for rapid relief, deeper insight, or a creative breakthrough, these sessions give you the time and space to go further.
These sessions are ideal for clients who:
Feel stuck in weekly therapy and want a shift
Have powerful defense mechanisms that taker longer to regulate
Have specific memories, questions, and or issues that they want to understand more deeply
Are short on time but ready for meaningful progress
Prefer deep work with fewer transitions
You’ll leave your intensive with a sense of clarity, relief, and integration that may take weeks to achieve through traditional therapy alone.
EMDR Intensive: Reprocess & Reclaim
Duration: 3 hours (175 minutes)
Format: Virtual (Telehealth)
Focus: Trauma, Grief, OCD, Anxiety, Emotional Wounds
Price: $400
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy designed to help people heal from distressing memories, trauma, and emotional overwhelm.
In an EMDR Intensive, we spend an extended, uninterrupted session targeting a specific issue, memory, limiting belief, and/or feeling. This extended format allows your nervous system to stay regulated & engaged while we process deeper material without the pressure of time.
Why choose an EMDR Intensive?
Dive deeper into trauma work with more time for stabilization, processing, & integration
Reduce the start/stop nature of weekly sessions
See faster movement through stuck points
Experience profound relief in a shorter amount of time
This intensive is ideal for individuals who are managing symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, OCD-related distress, unresolved grief, or complex childhood experiences.
Creative Processing Intensive: Express. Create. Heal.
Duration: 3 hours (175 minutes)
Format: Virtual (Telehealth)
Focus: Identity, Grief, Emotional Neglect, People Pleasing, Life Transitions
Price: $400
In this unique intensive, you’ll engage in a creative process of your choice: painting, drawing, collage, music, movement, writing, or any expressive medium you can imagine. From there, we’ll explore what emerges together.
You’ll begin by identifying an issue you want to work on (ex: a relationship dynamic, grief, inner critic, creative block, etc). As you create, I’ll guide you through emotional processing, meaning-making, & symbolic exploration. We’ll explore the origin of creativity in your life, how you can protect it in your daily moments, along with motivators & obstacles. You don’t need to be an artist, this is about insight, not output.
Why choose a Creative Intensive?
Unlock subconscious material through symbolism and story
Bypass intellectual defenses by working with the body & imagination
Access a deeper, often more intuitive kind of healing
Reconnect with your creativity & inner voice
Leave with both emotional clarity & a tangible creation
This session is ideal for creatives, sensitive souls, or anyone drawn to expressive forms of healing.

If any of the services above speak to you & your needs, I’d love to hear from you, answer any questions you may have, & explore how I can help. There are parts of you that have likely been waiting for a safe space to make themselves known, be understood, and be invited to heal. I’d be honored to walk in that sacred space with you.
