Trauma healing doesn't have to be a rigorous, intense process. An "intensive" with me means that we allow spacious time to support your healing with specific goals, without overwhelming you.

Sometimes we can't wait for weekly sessions over months or years.  

Sometimes we need relief sooner. 

We meet for extended period of time, possibly 2-4 hours, or possibly more than one time a week.  

Your schedule and goals help determine how we schedule for you. 

Examples of events that I work with: 

Traumatic of difficult life experiences

including child abuse

domestic violence

witnessing violence

car accidents 

injuries

 medical trauma 

divorce 

neglect, abandonment

loss

It can be hard when you open up in therapy about deeply rooted wounds, and then before you know it the time is up. 

You weren't ready for the time to end. 

We can move through as much as possible as we set the conditions for this to be safe, productive and healing  for you. 

This is so important and essential for building capacity to be with the tough experiences of life, past or present. 

Your smart brain will not let you work through the hard stuff without some safety tools in place first. Otherwise, it just shuts down. 

This resourcing experience is often sweet and strengthening at the same time. 

 It's not just checking a box. 

For some people the inconvenience of scheduling and getting to sessions while also working and doing other things, makes it too hard to actually come to therapy. 

Having a blocked off focused amount of time works better for some people. 

Why is a mind-body connection important for me?  

Because it can help keep you safe, connected to yourself, living your life in the direction you want it to go, and give you a greater chance of befriending and caring for yourself, and others.
