You don’t have to stay trapped in confusion, repeating the same patterns week after week. If traditional therapy has felt slow, fragmented, or difficult to fit into your life, therapy intensives offer a powerful alternative.

I specialize in therapy intensives for adults and couples who want meaningful progress in a shorter period of time. A therapy intensive is a highly focused, extended session format, typically spread over one or two days, designed to address a specific concern in real time. Rather than spending months building momentum, intensives allow us to go deeper, stay with the work, and create lasting shifts without long gaps between sessions.

Therapy intensives are especially effective for concerns such as trauma, relationship distress, identity exploration, grief, and life transitions. By front-loading the work, clients often experience greater clarity, emotional relief, and practical insight in a matter of days rather than months. Many also find intensives to be a more efficient investment of both time and money compared to long-term weekly therapy.

My approach is collaborative, intentional, and tailored. I bring my full clinical focus and skill to one client or couple at a time, allowing us to interrupt outdated patterns, access deeper emotional connection, and create meaningful change. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I also include experiential interventions, such as Internal Family Systems to meet your unique needs.

Beyond talk therapy, I incorporate interactive techniques, such as guided reflection, writing, sandtray or other methods, to support insight, embodiment, and integration. Clients often describe feeling safe, seen, and deeply understood, even while engaging in challenging work.

Therapy intensives are not about rushing healing but about creating the right conditions for it. With focused time, fewer distractions, and dedicated support, intensives offer a transformative path forward for those ready to engage with intention.
