Therapy Intensives
An alternative treatment option that accelerates the traditional therapy process. Ideal for women who don't have time for weekly therapy, want a jumpstart to their healing process, or feel like the traditional model doesn't meet their needs. Deep reflectors, overthinkers, and women who need to talk it out are welcome.
therapy intensives for women who lose themselves out of fear of losing the relationship
Maybe the relationship is a romantic partner. Maybe it's family or friends. And maybe it's not even that you feel like you've lost yourself — it's that you're not sure you ever knew who you were in the first place.
​
All you know is that you work hard to make the people you love happy. But underneath that you're always worried. About upsetting someone. About being rejected. About being abandoned. About never finding the lasting love and security you've wanted for as long as you can remember.
​
Some women are already aware that this started young. In childhood with parents who were shaming, demanding, critical, or even abusive. Other women often can't quite place it. All they know is that they've been told they are too much. Too emotional, too moody, too needy, too insecure, trying too hard, wanting too much. They've never been allowed to take up space and be loved for who they organically are. The idea of putting her own needs first feels selfish. Saying no to others feels mean.
But it doesn't have to stay this way.
because you are ready to go deeper
For women who are already aware that these patterns started in childhood, weekly therapy can feel slow and frustrating. The insight is there. You know what you need to share and explain, and you are ready for life to feel different. An intensive can jumpstart that for you in a matter of hours.
​
Those of you who can't quite articulate why the paragraphs above resonated need time and a skilled therapist to ask the right series of questions to uncover the starting point layer by layer. It's not uncommon to feel like you finally have the ball rolling after opening Pandora's box when — ding! — the 50 minute session is over. Now you are left with your fresh discoveries on your own for a week. An intensive allows for deep exploration and insight to unfold within the same session, with space to breathe along the way.
what the experience looks like
Our journey together begins with a 30 minute consultation call where we briefly discuss what brings you here, your previous therapy history, expectations, and what our session will look like.
​
Intensives always begin and end with mindfulness. As your therapist and guide, I want to make sure you feel ready to enter into deep reflection and disclosure. Some grounding will help us get into the right headspace and release some of the anxious energy that may be present.
​
Diving into the actual work begins with a comprehensive interview focused on relationships starting from childhood. Whether you realize it or not, the challenges you're facing often stem from relational dynamics that began early. We will also look at your current everyday life and explore how certain relationships or patterns may be compounding or repeating lifelong themes that have been a challenge.
​
The interview naturally leads into our insight development phase where we draw connections between past and present dynamics and how your core beliefs may be perpetuating relational pain. From there we shift toward meaningful change — ranging from boundaries in relationships to making time for the things that replenish you, and anything in between.
​
We will pause for mindfulness and coping skill support as needed throughout our time together to ensure that your nervous system does not get too overloaded and to allow for processing. The day will close with reflection, summary, feedback, grounding, and next steps.
You will leave with something many women have never fully had — clarity about who you are and where your patterns began, and the compassion to finally stop blaming yourself for them. Not because you've been messing up or not doing enough, but because you've been doing the only thing you knew how to do. The intensive is where that story begins to change. Where you leave with hope that life can feel meaningfully different, the confidence to choose yourself first, and perhaps for the first time — a sense of permission to fully step into who you actually are.
