EMDR Intensives in
Boulder, Colorado
Are you looking for an opportunity to prioritize and jumpstart your healing without the limitations of a 60 minute therapy session?
Is trauma (either a single incident or a series of painful events) holding you back from the life you know you were meant to live?
Do you ever feel like you finally get to the heart of the matter right when the 60 minute therapy session ends?
Do you thrive when you can do a deep dive, engaging with a specific theme or memory without the interruptions of work and daily life?
If so, an intensive may be the right fit for you!
What is an intensive?
Focused therapy to support deep healing, help you connect with your true self, and feel a greater sense of ease, sooner.
Intensives are longer therapy sessions, with a variety of options based on your needs and goals: ½ day, 1 day, 2 days, or 3 days.
Inclusive, personalized support for individuals of all neurotypes, bodies, cultural backgrounds, and gender / sexual identities.
Includes a 1.5 hour intake session, the intensive itself, and a 1 hour integration session (typically scheduled 1-1.5 weeks after the intensive).
Intensives can take place in my Boulder office or in nature, depending on your personal needs and interests.
While this is an EMDR intensive, we may weave in elements of somatic, nature, and mindfulness based therapies to support your healing.
Does this sound like you?
You’re exhausted from masking, Neurodivergent burnout, or just getting through the day.
Transitions tax your brain and body. You’d prefer deep healing without interruptions.
You desire to feel truly seen and understood by someone who truly gets it.
You have been in weekly therapy for years, but you can’t seem to get relief from trauma
responses, ever-present tension in your body, or anxious, ruminating thoughts.
You value places where you can be unfiltered, messy, and real without judgment.
You have a complicated relationship with time, and traditional therapy sessions don’t
align well with your wiring. You may experience time as “now” and “not now.”
You long to drop into an experience that is personalized, creative, & collaborative.
You are tired of trying to muscle through things alone, and it’s time for more guidance.
You might hear yourself saying things like: “I understand this intellectually, but I can’t seem to
move forward emotionally or physically.”
You find yourself reverting back to your younger self in moments of stress, uncertainty,
and overwhelm, and you want to reclaim your sense of autonomy and agency.
You fear being rejected if you were to share your authentic self with other people.
You are unable to relax, despite all of your best efforts and self care methods.
You dream of an existence that allows you more bandwidth to engage in your special interests,
hobbies, or passion projects without feeling guilt or shame about not being “productive.”
Scheduling weekly therapy sessions doesn’t work with your current schedule.
If any of these statements resonate with you, I may be able to help.
