EMDR Intensives

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence-based therapy approach that helps individuals process and heal from trauma, distressing experiences, anxiety, relationship wounds, and deeply held negative beliefs. EMDR works by helping the brain and nervous system reprocess experiences that may feel emotionally “stuck,” allowing clients to move toward greater emotional freedom, clarity, and self-trust.

For clients who are ready for deeper trauma processing, EMDR Intensives offer an extended, focused therapy experience designed to support meaningful healing in a concentrated format. By dedicating larger blocks of time to trauma work, clients often experience greater therapeutic momentum and the opportunity to move through areas that may take much longer to address in traditional weekly therapy.

EMDR Intensive Offering

EMDR Intensives are available on Fridays or Saturdays and include a Separately Scheduled 90-minute Preparation Session followed by a 3-hour EMDR Intensive Session for an investment of $700.

Areas of Focus

  • Betrayal Trauma – Healing from infidelity, broken trust, emotional affairs, secrecy, or relational injuries that continue to impact self-worth, safety, and connection.

  • Relationship Trauma – Addressing wounds created through unhealthy relationships, chronic criticism, emotional neglect, manipulation, abandonment, or repeated experiences of feeling unseen and unsafe with others.
  • First Responder Trauma – Supporting police officers, firefighters, paramedics, healthcare workers, and other professionals who have been exposed to repeated critical incidents, cumulative stress, or traumatic experiences in the line of duty.

About Emily

I have been practicing EMDR for over three years and am deeply passionate about the transformative healing it can offer. Throughout my work, I have witnessed clients move through long-standing emotional blocks, traumatic experiences, and deeply rooted negative beliefs that previously felt impossible to shift.

One of the most rewarding aspects of EMDR is watching clients reconnect with their own strength and resilience. As distressing experiences become integrated, clients often experience increased self-confidence, self-esteem, and a greater sense of efficacy in their lives. My goal is to help clients move beyond surviving and toward creating a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and aligned with who they truly are.

EMDR Intensives are not appropriate for every client. A consultation and readiness assessment are required prior to scheduling to ensure this format is clinically supportive and aligned with your needs. EMDR Intensives are not currently covered by insurance and are offered as a private-pay service.
