You're carrying trauma, PTSD, chronic illness, or the lasting weight of racial and oppression-based harm, and you're ready to do real work, not stretch it across a year of weekly hours that never feel like enough. EMDR Therapy Intensives create extended, focused time to move through it in days, not months. Life is full and a standing weekly appointment is hard to protect; some of us simply need more room than 50 minutes allows. Using EMDR alongside Pain Reprocessing Therapy and DBT-informed skills, we lower the charge that old experiences still hold over your body, your relationships, and your everyday life.
I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, & Certified EMDR Therapist and Consultant. I offer EMDR Therapy Intensives; half-day to multi-day, for adults ready to do focused trauma work in a condensed window. Intensives are self-pay, in person in Raleigh or virtual across NC, & ask that you already have coping skills in place. We start with a free consultation.
You've likely spent a long time managing around the hard things — working, showing up, holding it together. You don't have to keep enduring alone, and you don't have to do the deep work in slow motion either. If you're ready to give something focused and intentional a try, I'd be glad to talk it through and help you figure out your next step.
