Extended access to therapy for 1-3 days. Now scheduling for Therapy Intensives for Summer 2025. Available virtually in Oregon or in-person in: Portland’s Pearl District or your private backyard. Please note: I will begin an extended leave starting September 2025, returning March 2026.
Trauma-focused therapy intensives are here to offer a different approach: they’re designed to dive deep, save you time, and get you real results quickly. And now, they’re more flexible than ever—with options for virtual sessions, in-person appointments in Portland, or a calming experience in your private home garden space.
If you’ve heard of therapy intensives but aren’t sure what they actually involve, you’re not alone! Trauma-focused therapy intensives are extended therapy sessions (typically between 3-4 hours total) designed to help you make meaningful progress in a shorter amount of time. Instead of waiting week after week for progress, an intensive allows us to work deeply with fewer interruptions, creating a foundation for long-lasting change.
Unlike traditional weekly therapy, which usually lasts around 50 minutes, trauma-focused intensives are designed to give us the space to process and explore on a deeper level, reducing the need for multiple sessions on a weekly basis.
(Hint: It Saves You Time)
Let’s face it—everyone’s busy. Trauma-focused therapy intensives offer the chance to commit to healing without feeling tied down by weekly appointments for months. Here’s how it saves time and energy:
Trauma-focused therapy is specifically designed to address and heal trauma. Trauma isn’t just stored in our thoughts—it’s stored in the brain and body. Trauma-focused modalities target the areas where trauma is “stuck” so that you can release it without the retraumatizing experience of retelling your story over and over again with no effect.
Here are some of the modalities that can be incorporated into a trauma-focused therapy intensive:
Each of these therapies is designed to work with the brain’s limbic system (the part responsible for emotions and memory) rather than just the prefrontal cortex, where logical thought and reasoning take place. This is why trauma-focused therapies tend to be more effective at “unsticking” trauma than traditional talk therapy.
Trauma-focused therapy intensives aren’t for everyone. They’re a great fit for people who:
Have strong coping tools but feel stuck and want a breakthrough
Prefer focused, goal-oriented therapy that respects your time
Are ready to process specific trauma or patterns without dragging it out over months
Have had prior therapy or feel comfortable with introspection
This approach might not be ideal for those who are new to therapy, need time to build trust with a therapist, or feel anxious about diving into deep work quickly.
No matter your schedule, comfort level, or location—there’s an option that can work for you:
✨ Virtual Intensives – Available across Oregon. Experience deep healing from the comfort of your own space.
✨ In-Person Sessions – Meet with me in a private, welcoming Portland office.
✨ Garden Space Option – For those craving nature and groundedness, some in-person sessions can be held outdoors in your quiet backyard garden setting (weather permitting).
Choosing a trauma-focused therapy intensive means saying yes to deeper, faster, and more flexible support. With personalized care, powerful tools, and a format that fits your life, it’s a way to get unstuck—and stay unstuck.
Whether you’re recovering from a specific trauma or feeling the long-term effects of stress and emotional overload, this kind of focused work can help you feel more like you again.
