Intensive EMDR
Extended sessions for deeper focus
Focused, integrative EMDR
for lasting resolution.
For those ready to engage more fully in the work.
Intensive EMDR offers a more concentrated way to engage in healing when you’re ready for meaningful change and want enough time and continuity for the work to unfold.
Many people drawn to this approach are not in crisis — they’re ready. They may have spent time in therapy or reflection and know there is important work they want to engage more fully. Others are navigating a period of transition, grief, or internal pressure and want dedicated support rather than spreading the work out over many weeks or months.
For many clients, this format feels not faster, but more settling — because there’s time to arrive, process, and integrate within the same session.
When intensive emdr may be a good fit
Intensive emdr is especially well-suited if you…
feel ready to engage more deeply in the healing process
want enough time for continuity rather than stopping just as things open
notice that it takes time to settle into meaningful work in weekly sessions
feel stalled by the rhythm of once-a-week therapy
want to move toward resolution without rushing or fragmenting the work
This approach isn’t about intensity for its own sake. It’s about creating the conditions for focused, regulated, and sustained healing.
How Intensive EMDR works.
Intensive EMDR is offered through extended EMDR sessions, 110 minutes or 170 minutes in length.
The additional time allows us to move beyond “getting started” and into deeper processing within a single session. For many people, this means work can progress more efficiently — not because it’s forced, but because there’s less interruption and more continuity.
The frequency and total number of intensive sessions vary depending on your goals, capacity, and nervous system response. Some clients choose a short series of intensive sessions; others use longer sessions as the primary way we work together. There is no preset structure or required commitment.
As with all of my work, Intensive EMDR is integrative, relational, and carefully paced.
Supporting depth
with care.
I incorporate a parts-aware approach and polyvagal-informed nervous system support throughout Intensive EMDR, with close attention to safety, regulation, capacity, and the needs of different parts.
My role is to hold a steady, responsive container so the process can continue to unfold. This includes supporting regulation, maintaining continuity, and adjusting pacing so deeper work remains grounded and integrated.
When meaningful to you, this work may also include attention to ancestral, cultural, or spiritual dimensions of experience. These aspects are always client-led and approached with care and respect.
What to expect.
We’ll begin with a brief consultation call to connect and address any initial questions.
From there, we’ll schedule an initial session to explore your experience more fully and determine whether Intensive EMDR feels like the right way to move forward. Together, we’ll decide what structure best supports depth, integration, and resolution.
Some sessions may feel more active; others more spacious. Throughout, the work remains collaborative, with ongoing attention to choice, consent, and nervous system response.
