Therapy Intensives in Lynnwood, WA

Deep Healing for Sensitive Women Ready for Real Change

Are you tired of feeling like you're just going through the motions in weekly therapy? Ready to stop managing symptoms and actually heal the underlying wounds that keep you stuck? My therapy intensives offer a transformative alternative to traditional counseling – immersive healing experiences designed specifically for sensitive women who are done settling for surface-level change.

I'm here to work with women who recognize that they have always put everyone else first, staying busy to avoid uncomfortable feelings, and wondering "what the hell am I even doing with my life?" If this sounds like you, intensive therapy might be exactly what you've been searching for.

What Are Therapy Intensives?

Therapy intensives are concentrated, immersive healing experiences that span anywhere from half-day sessions to multi-day intensive courses. They are a premium offering and experience that goes far beyond standard sessions. Unlike traditional 50-minute weekly sessions, these programs allow us to dive deep into core issues without the constraint of a ticking clock.

Think of it this way: if regular therapy is like taking a gentle walk through your emotional landscape, intensives are guided expeditions to the places you've been avoiding. We're not just skimming the surface – we're going to the heart of what's been keeping you stuck.  Intensives were created for the person who wants to dive deep into unblocking their foundational trauma memories which have created their negative core narrative. Intensives are an intentional sacred pause-almost like a “psychological surgery” day with the goal being to target as many core trauma wounds as possible in order to give you a “clearing” so that you can reenter your life as the person you were meant to be, without carrying all that has happened to you. 

During intensive sessions, I use specialized approaches like Brainspotting, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Person-Centered Therapy to help you access and process experiences that might take months to reach in traditional weekly sessions. The extended timeframe allows your nervous system to settle into the work and create lasting change.

Intensive Course Offerings

Half-Day Intensives (4 Hours)

Perfect for focused work on specific patterns or challenges. Whether you're struggling with a particular relationship dynamic, making a major life decision, or processing specific trauma, half-day intensives provide deep exploration without overwhelm.

Full-Day Intensive Courses (6Hours)

Comprehensive healing containers where we combine different therapeutic modalities. We might start with exploration to identify patterns, move into Brainspotting to process stored trauma, and end with ACT work to clarify values and next steps.

Multi-Day Programs (2 Days)

For those ready to completely restructure their relationship with themselves and their lives. Multi-day intensives address multiple layers of trauma, attachment patterns, and core beliefs with comprehensive integration planning.

Who Therapy Intensives Are For

My intensive programs are designed for sensitive women who:

  • Feel chronically overwhelmed and don't know how to sit still

  • Have been the "good girl" their whole life and are exhausted from over-functioning

  • Struggle with toxic relationship patterns that drain their energy

  • Use substances or behaviors to avoid dealing with difficult emotions

  • Feel disconnected from their authentic self after years of people-pleasing

  • Are ready for deep healing, not just symptom management

You might be someone who has learned to equate love with chaos, sacrifice with worthiness, and your own needs with selfishness. Intensives are an optimal way to get you from moving from a place of stuck to a place of freedom and expansion.

Therapeutic Approaches Used in Intensives

Brainspotting Intensives

Brainspotting works with your brain's natural ability to heal by accessing trauma stored in your body. During intensive sessions, we might spend hours working with specific "spots" – eye positions that connect to where emotional activation is held. This allows for thorough processing that creates profound shifts in how you relate to anxiety, your body, and yourself. Therapeutic intensives also allow us the time to target internalized shame, the silent killer and the cause for so much emotional distress.

ACT Workshop-Style Sessions

If you're constantly asking "what do I even want?" – ACT intensives help identify your authentic values underneath all the "shoulds" and expectations. We explore what actually matters to you and develop practical strategies for living in alignment with those values.

Person-Centered Intensive Work

Sometimes what you need most is to be truly witnessed without judgment. I bring my whole self to these sessions – I'm not going to just nod politely while you share your struggles. I'll be real with you, reflect back what I'm seeing, and help you feel genuinely understood.

And More! Because intensives are a premium service, your intensive will come with all the fun bells and whistles such as aromatherapy, yoga, guided meditation, snacks and drinks. If spiritual practices are calling to you, we will incorporate those as well to help you have the most individualized and healing experience.

Why Choose Intensive Therapy?

Faster, Deeper Results

Make significant progress in days rather than months. The concentrated format allows us to follow insights wherever they lead without having to stop and restart next week. This is ideal for sensitive women because it can take longer for you to feel safe and relaxed enough to be able to get to the deep stuff- so having hours gives you the opportunity to do months of deep work in just 1-2 days. 

Break Through Resistance

Work with protective parts in real-time as they emerge, rather than losing momentum between sessions. By having more time, we will be able to ride the wave of all the parts of you that may show up, allowing you space to explore, reflect and truly heal. 

Immersive Healing Environment

Dedicating significant time exclusively to your healing sends a powerful message that this work – and you – matter.

Real-world Integration

Extended timeframes allow us to practice new ways of being and troubleshoot how changes translate into your daily life.

In-Person and Remote Options

I offer both in-person intensive courses at my Lynnwood office and secure online sessions for clients who prefer remote participation. In-person work provides hands-on, immersive experiences with direct connection, while online intensives offer flexibility without sacrificing therapeutic depth.

Many participants find that the choice between formats depends on their specific needs and comfort level. We'll discuss what feels most aligned during your consultation.

What to Expect During Intensive Work

Before We Begin

We start with a free consultation to determine if intensives are right for you. Not everyone is ready for this level of work, and that's perfectly okay. I need to ensure you have adequate support systems and life circumstances that can accommodate the shifts that come with deep healing.

During Your Intensive

I bring my full presence to every minute of our time together. This is a sacred healing space where profound insights, emotional releases, body sensations, or simply deep understanding can emerge. You might also have quieter sessions that are equally important for integration.

We take breaks, check in regularly, and adjust our pace based on what's emerging. I'm not checking my phone or going through motions – I'm completely engaged in your healing process from beginning to end.

Integration and Aftercare

The work doesn't end when our intensive concludes. Integration is crucial, and I provide specific tools and practices to help you maintain the changes you've made. We will schedule a follow-up session or you might continue with regular therapy to build on our foundation.

Who Intensives Might Not Be Right For

I want to be honest about who might not be ready for intensive work:

  • Those currently in active crisis situations

  • People without adequate support systems

  • Anyone in major life transitions who are already overwhelmed

  • Those who prefer gradual, slower processing

There's no shame in preferring traditional weekly therapy – it doesn't mean you're less committed to healing.

Combining Intensives with Other Services

Group Therapy Integration

After individual intensive work, many clients benefit from joining my Women's Group Therapy or Binge Eating Group Therapy. Group work provides ongoing support and opportunities to practice new relationship skills.

Intuitive Eating Therapy

If you struggle with food and body image, we can combine intensive therapy with Intuitive Eating Therapy. Many food-related patterns connect to deeper issues around control, safety, and self-worth that intensive work addresses beautifully.

Ongoing Individual Support

Some clients use intensives as a jumpstart to regular therapy, while others participate in periodic intensives throughout their ongoing healing journey to address specific challenges or create breakthroughs.

Investment in Your Healing

Intensive therapy represents a significant investment in your healing and well-being. Rather than listing specific prices, I encourage you to consider: How much are you currently spending avoiding your issues? What would it be worth to address root causes instead of just managing symptoms?

During your consultation, we'll discuss your specific situation and what kind of investment would be involved based on the type and duration of intensive work that feels right for you.

The Science Behind Intensive Healing

Research supports the effectiveness of intensive therapy formats, particularly for trauma and anxiety. Your brain constantly rewires itself based on experiences, and concentrated exposure to new ways of being accelerates this neuroplasticity process.

Intensives also take advantage of memory reconsolidation – when you recall difficult memories, they become temporarily malleable and can be updated with new information. Extended sessions provide time to work with these memories while they're in this changeable state.
