Serving Los Angeles County and all of California Online

For the Pain That Talk Therapy Didn’t Move

You’ve named the patterns. You know where it comes from. But your body didn’t get the memo. EMDR Intensives help you release what talking alone couldn’t.

What is an EMDR Intensive?

A focused, extended session (typically 3+ hours) designed to help you move through emotional pain that still lingers—even if you “understand” it. Intensives help you get deeper relief without spending years in weekly therapy.

How It Works

    • You’ll be guided through calming techniques and nervous system strategies so you feel grounded and safe.

    • We use EMDR to target stuck memories, beliefs, or feelings so your brain can finally let them go.

    • We help you make sense of insights, emotional relief, and strategies to carry into your life.

Is This Right for You?

    • You’re tired of talking about the same story in therapy and want something deeper

    • You’ve already done a lot of self-work but still feel emotionally stuck

    • You’re navigating grief, a breakup, a mother wound, or burnout

    • You know the memory, feeling, or belief that still follows you

    • You don’t want to spend years in therapy, you’re ready for a breakthrough

    • You’re actively in crisis, suicidal ideation, or severe emotional instability

      • You struggle with significant dissociation and don’t yet feel grounded in your body (we can start in weekly sessions first!)

      • You haven’t built basic emotional regulation tools (we can start in weekly sessions first!)

      • You’re unsure what you want to work on and feel flooded by “everything” (we can start in weekly sessions first!).

      • You’re hoping for a quick fix without any emotional discomfort

My Approach to EMDR Intensives

I take a client-centered, trauma-informed approach. That means:

  • You lead the pace, nothing is forced

  • You’re supported with emotional regulation tools before, during, and after

  • You’re never expected to “push through”… your safety is my priority

How This Therapy Works

What if you didn’t have to fix yourself… just listen to yourself?

You’ve spent so much of your life trying to be better: calmer, quieter, and more agreeable. You shrink your needs to keep the peace. You overthink every conversation. You try so hard not to take up too much space. And still, you feel like you’re doing it wrong. What if the goal wasn’t to fix yourself , but to finally listen to what your body’s been saying all along?

In this space, you don’t have to prove anything. We’ll talk about the moments that taught you it wasn’t safe to have needs and what it might feel like to stop performing and start being real.

Not fixed. Not perfect. Just present. And finally, you.

FAQs about EMDR Intensives

If you have more questions have a look at the FAQ page or reach out.

  • Yes. You don’t need to have previous EMDR experience. We’ll start with preparation and safety-building practices before any reprocessing. You’ll be supported every step of the way.

  • Nope. Some clients come in with a clear memory or belief they want to target, like “I’m not enough” or “I always get left.”

    Others just know something feels heavy, but they can’t name it. That’s okay, that’s why I am here. I’ll guide you through identifying what your system is ready to work through, even if you don’t have the words yet.

  • Yes! Some clients prefer to split their intensive across two shorter sessions in the same week, especially if they’re new to EMDR or find long sessions tiring.

    You’ll still receive the full 3 hours of healing time, just spread out in a way that feels more manageable for your nervous system. We’ll talk about what works best for you during your consult call.

  • An EMDR intensive isn’t meant to heal your entire life story in one session. Instead, it gives you focused time and support to process something meaningful: a stuck memory, a painful belief, or a moment you keep replaying that still carries emotional weight.

    You might leave feeling clearer, lighter, or more grounded in your body. You might notice something that used to trigger you… doesn’t. That’s a big win. But just like all trauma work, healing happens in layers and that’s normal.

    This is deep work. Sometimes things rise to the surface after an intensive, which is why integration is built in so you don’t walk away raw, but resourced.

    You won’t be expected to finish everything. You will be supported in moving through something important.

  • That fear makes so much sense especially if you’ve never felt safe being emotional. We’ll spend time preparing your nervous system before we do any deeper work. You’ll learn grounding tools, and we’ll go at your pace. EMDR doesn’t mean reliving trauma, it’s about releasing it safely.
