Relational & Trauma Intensives

Transforming pain into possibility, through accelerated healing,

Committing to weeks of therapy feels overwhelming

You’re not here because things are “just a little off.” You’re here because something needs to change—deeply and soon.

Maybe you’re stuck in the same painful arguments. Maybe trauma or betrayal has left you disconnected or numb. Or maybe traditional weekly therapy hasn’t moved the needle the way you hoped. An intensive offers focused time to slow down, address the root issues, and begin real healing—all without the stop-and-start of regular sessions.

If you're feeling exhausted, distant, or overwhelmed, this is where you begin again—with care, clarity, and commitment.

You’re tired of dealing with:

  • Shame and emotional shutdown

  • Unresolved trauma and unhelpful reactions

  • The same painful conversations with your partner

Accelerated treatment with accelerated results

In an intensive, I walk alongside you through a focused, in-depth process designed to help you move beyond what's keeping you stuck. Instead of the stop-and-start rhythm of weekly sessions, intensives give us the space—often over several hours—to slow down, go deeper, and really tend to the pain or patterns that need attention. Whether we're working with trauma, relationship struggles, or attachment wounds, this dedicated time allows us to get to the heart of what’s going on.

Therapy intensives are fully tailored to your unique needs and goals. Before we begin, we’ll collaborate to understand what’s most important to you and create a plan that feels focused, safe, and intentional. Together, we’ll agree on the structure, pace, and therapeutic interventions, ensuring that everything we do is aligned with your story and what you’re hoping to heal or shift.

Communicate with clarity and compassion

✓

After an intensive, many individuals and couples find they can express themselves more clearly and listen with greater empathy. The extended time together allows us to unpack communication patterns, address triggers, and practice new ways of relating that feel safer and more respectful. This shift can open up conversations that once felt impossible.

Set boundaries without guilt or shutdown

✓

Through guided exploration and role-play, clients often leave intensives with a stronger sense of self and a clearer understanding of their limits. Whether in relationships, work, or personal life, they’re better able to say “no” or “I need” without feeling overwhelmed by guilt, fear, or shame.

Reconnect with emotion and body awareness

✓

Trauma and relational stress can cause people to disconnect from their emotions or physical sensations. Intensives offer a space to gently rebuild that connection, helping clients tune into their bodies, recognize emotional signals, and respond with more self-awareness and care. This reconnection often leads to more grounded, authentic decision-making.

Common questions about therapy intensives

  • What is a therapy intensive?
    A therapy intensive is a focused, extended session—often lasting several hours to a full day—designed to help you go deeper into healing than is usually possible in weekly therapy. It’s tailored to your needs and provides space for concentrated work on trauma, relational patterns, or specific life challenges.

    Who are intensives for?
    Intensives are helpful for individuals or couples who feel stuck, want to make significant progress quickly, or are facing a turning point in life or relationship. They’re especially supportive for people dealing with trauma, burnout, or persistent relational struggles.

    How is it different from weekly therapy?
    Weekly therapy happens over time in shorter sessions, while intensives offer a longer, uninterrupted space to go deeper, faster. They allow for more integration, focus, and momentum in a shorter timeframe.

    How do we decide what the intensive will focus on?
    Before the intensive, we’ll meet to discuss your goals, current challenges, and what’s most important to you. Together, we’ll design a plan that includes the pace, focus areas, and therapeutic approaches that fit your needs.

    What happens after the intensive?
    You’ll leave with insights, tools, and a plan for continued growth. Some people return to regular therapy, while others find the intensive gives them the clarity or shift they needed. We’ll talk together about what next steps make sense for you.

    Can I do an intensive if I already have a therapist?
    Yes. Many people come for an intensive as a complement to their ongoing therapy. With your permission, I can collaborate with your current therapist to support continuity in your care.

  • Not at all. Intensives are structured to be both deep and grounding. We move at a pace that feels safe and manageable, with breaks and time for reflection built in. You’ll be supported every step of the way.
