Grief, Trauma, & Confidence
Intensive Sessions

3-8 hours of deep therapy to address difficult past and present experiences including grief and loss, trauma, and life transitions. Also available for longevity, to help move into more creativity and curiosity.

What is an intensive?

A grief & trauma intensive is a powerful therapy to efficiently address overwhelming loss or traumatic experience. Using EMDR, Brainspotting, and/or psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT), intensives are scheduled for 7 hours* total across 3 days. This significantly reduces the time commitment to weekly therapy by targeting specific material and accelerating results that stick with you.

Why choose an intensive?

The benefits of intensives include alleviation of PTSD symptoms like disturbed sleep, terror, and anxiety, increasing your tolerance for daily stress, and loosening the grip of your negative self-talk. Many clients I work with feel more connected to their lives and loved ones after an intensive. Intensives offer clients a profound way to reach places that weekly talk therapy just can’t touch.

Imagine healing trauma, moving through grief, and accessing confidence all in one day.

With an intensive therapy session, we can do this.

Overcome your overwhelm quicker than weekly therapy.

Intensives might be for you if:

  • You have a tendency to ignore or push away your feelings until you have the “right” moment (…sorry, there’s never a “right” time!).

  • You’re in weekly therapy and would like to dive deep into a particular concern.

  • You have limited and valuable time, like busy professionals.

  • Significant memories completely overwhelm you in the present (child abuse, car accident, loved one’s suicide, assault, affair/divorce, traumatic pregnancy/loss, childhood events).

  • You want to deeply explore and move into your most connected Self using alternative methods like psychedelics.

  • Don’t have room in your life for another weekly commitment.

Process

During a grief & trauma intensive, client and therapist work together for an extended period of time to allow deep and fast processing, expansion, and closure. At the end of an intensive, your grief and trauma should be integrated so that your soul can take the lead. Old conditions and fears held by your brain and body will be loosened, making way for more intentional patterns.

During an intensive, you can expect:

  • Multiple rounds of EMDR using various bilateral stimulation

  • Guided resourcing that helps you feel grounded, comfortable, and held

  • Breaks with opportunity for movement, stillness, stretching, food, and water

  • The use of coloring, dancing, movement, humming, music-making, and other modes of expression

  • Some discomfort and stretching to aide in growth

After an intensive, you might expect:

  • Your brain and body to continue processing the material

  • Weird or vivid dreams

  • A sense of exhaustion and like you should be alone for a little bit

  • A feeling of releasing stuck energy

  • More spiritual curiosity or exploration

  • A desire to continue your journey, leading to healthier consumption (food, sun, nature, drink, social media, news etc.)

    After our 15-minute consultation and you’ve decided that an intensive is right for you, we’ll meet for 90 minutes to begin treatment planning. We’ll discuss your history, goals, current coping and support, and material that you would like to address. We’ll determine the structure and plan for your intensive session.

  • Intensive session (TBD hrs)

    We’ll meet at my office space close to Steamboat, Colorado, for our intensive. If you live in Colorado, California, or Virginia, virtual intensives are available.

  • Integration Session (90 min)

    We’ll met for a 90-minute integration session a day or so after your intensive session. We’ll explore and solidify new insights, shifts, ideas, and skills. This is critical to the intensive.
