If you’ve been in therapy for a while and still feel stuck, you’re not alone. Many people with past relational trauma reach a point where weekly sessions just don’t feel like enough. Your focus of sessions may be coping after a divorce, break-up, unexpected loss, traumatic birth, or from abuse or relationships that happened years ago. You’re doing the work, but it’s like inching forward when you know there’s a part of you ready to move faster—ready to actually feel the shifts you’ve been working toward.

That’s where therapy intensives come in.

As a trauma therapist who’s helped many people find their footing after overwhelming or painful experiences, I’ve seen firsthand how intensives can offer deep, meaningful movement—especially when traditional weekly therapy isn’t cutting it. Whether you’ve hit a plateau or just want to accelerate your healing, here are the top 3 benefits of intensive therapy support:

1. Deep Focus Without the Weekly Start-Stop

Weekly therapy can feel like picking up and putting down your healing again and again. Each session starts with catching up, checking in, and sometimes, by the time you’re ready to dig in, it’s time to wrap up.

Therapy intensives allow for sustained, focused time to stay with what’s coming up—whether it’s working through specific traumatic memories, core beliefs, or ongoing patterns in relationships. With more time in session, you’re able to dive deeper and stay there, without rushing or compartmentalizing your healing. You often have enough time to explore and resolve the theme you’re working on, or get the sense that EMDR is helping. This work can be done in our Lakewood Dallas office or have your therapy intensive online from the comfort of your home in TX, FL, LA, VA.

2. Faster Healing Through Momentum and Continuity

When we have time to really get into the trauma therapy work, your nervous system and brain gets to stay in a rhythm of healing rather than constantly needing to compartmentalize and reset. That continuity means more opportunities for breakthroughs, clarity, and emotional processing in a shorter span of time.

In other words: therapy intensives create the conditions for faster healing—not because you’re pushing yourself too hard, but because you’re finally giving yourself the time and space your healing deserves.

3. Personalized Support, Tailored to You

Every intensive is designed with you and for you. Whether you want to work on a recent triggering experience, deepen EMDR work that’s already started, or process long-held trauma in a safe, supported way, we move at your pace with a structure that feels grounding.

You’ll receive intensive therapy support that’s not just clinically effective but emotionally attuned. I’m here with you in it—not just as a therapist, but as a steady, warm presence who’s genuinely invested in your healing. For relational trauma, this can help give you the space you need to do more layers of work before feeling you have to be ready to go back out to the demands of your life.

Why Work With Me?

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), EMDR Certified Therapist, and EMDRIA Approved Consultant with extensive experience helping trauma survivors reclaim their sense of safety, connection, and wholeness. I primarily use EMDR, and I bring a blend of clinical expertise, creative problem-solving, and a deep respect for your unique story.

Clients often describe me as warm, smart, and empathetic—with just the right mix of humor and direct guidance when you need it most. I’m here to help you feel safe enough to do the hard stuff, and supported enough to keep going.

If you’re in office, my space helps clients feel at ease to focus on their healing during session. You can enjoy lunch on break from nearby restaurants, or take a walk at White Rock Lake or the Dallas Arboretum when not in session. If you choose to have your EMDR therapy intensive online, I’ll work with you to structure your space and day to support the work you’ll do.
