Therapy Intensives in Kirkland, WA and Online across Washington

You’ve been in therapy before. You talk for 50 minutes, you finally hit the "good stuff" in the last ten, and then... the timer goes off. You spend the rest of the week trying to hold onto those insights while life keeps coming at you.

It feels like trying to build a house one brick a week in a rainstorm. You aren’t broken, but you are exhausted by the slow pace of traditional healing.

A Dedicated Space for Deep Transformation

Therapy intensives are different. Instead of snippets of time, we take a deep dive. By dedicatedly focusing on your internal world without the "start-stop" of weekly sessions, we can bypass the surface-level chatter and get straight to the roots.

Neurodiversity Friendly: This isn't about fitting you into a "typical" box. Our sessions are sensory-aware, direct, and honor the way your specific brain processes the world. No masking required.

My approach is built on three pillars designed to honor your unique brain and body:

  • EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing): We help your brain file away distressing memories so they no longer "fire" in the present.

  • IFS (Internal Family Systems): We get to know the different "parts" of you—the protectors, the critics, and the wounded ones—to create internal harmony.

  • The Body Trust® Lens: We move away from "fixing" your body and toward listening to it. This is a weight-inclusive, liberation-focused framework that treats your body as a partner, not an enemy.

Imagine the Relief of a Breakthrough

Picture what it would feel like to finally process that "stuck" belief or soothe that chronic anxiety in a single morning rather than over six months.

In an intensive, we have the luxury of time to:

  • Process trauma without the rush.

  • Deepen the connection between your mind and your physical sensations.

  • Leave with a concrete sense of integration and "lightness" that sticks.

Availability & Logistics

Because of the deep, focused nature of intensives, I only offer a limited number of these sessions each month. This ensures I can bring my full presence and energy to our work together.

Where and When We Can Meet:

  • Tuesdays (Online): Experience your intensive from the comfort of your own safe space. Online intensives are conducted via a secure, HIPAA-compliant video platform. This is often the most accessible option for neurodivergent clients who prefer their own sensory-controlled environment.

  • One Weekend Per Month (In-Person): For those who prefer a physical shift in environment to mark their transformation, I offer limited in-person intensives one weekend a month in my office Kirkland. These sessions provide a dedicated container away from the distractions of daily life.

Note: Weekend dates tend to book out 4–6 weeks in advance. If you have a specific date in mind, I recommend reaching out early to secure your spot.

Therapy Intensives FAQs

  • Q: Is 3 hours too much? I’m worried about burning out.

    A: It’s a common concern! Unlike a "marathon" that leaves you depleted, an intensive is designed to be a deep dive with oxygen. We don't go at a frantic pace; we go at a focused one. Because we aren't rushing to fit everything into 50 minutes, we actually have more time for grounding, sensory breaks, and "checking in" with your system. We move at the speed of your nervous system, not the clock.

  • Q: How do EMDR and IFS work together in this format?

    A: Think of IFS (Internal Family Systems) as the map and EMDR as the vehicle.

    • We use IFS to identify the "parts" of you that are hurting or protective.

    • We use EMDR to process the heavy emotional charges those parts are carrying. Doing this in an intensive allows us to stay with a "part" until it truly feels seen and relieved, rather than leaving it "open" until next week.Think of IFS (Internal Family Systems) as the map and EMDR as the vehicle.

  • Q: As a neurodivergent person, will this be overstimulating?

    A: Traditional therapy can actually be more overstimulating because of the constant transitions (arriving, warming up, cooling down, leaving). Intensives allow you to settle into a flow state. We can adjust lighting, incorporate fidgets, or take silent breaks. You don’t have to "perform" therapy; you just have to be you.

  • Q: Is an intensive more effective than six months of weekly therapy?

    A: While "effective" depends on your specific goals, research and clinical experience show that intensives can compress months of healing into a few hours. In weekly therapy, we often spend the first 15 minutes checking in on your week and the last 10 minutes grounding you to leave. That leaves only about 25 minutes of "deep work." In a 3-hour intensive, we eliminate those constant transitions. This allows us to stay in the "processing zone" longer, which often leads to faster symptom relief and a more profound sense of closure on specific traumas. It’s an investment of time and resources upfront that often saves you months (or even years) of "maintenance" therapy later.
