IFS Informed EMDR Therapy Intensive Online in Colorado
A focused, personalized path toward deep trauma healing.
If you’ve been doing the work in therapy but still feel stuck...
If 50-minute sessions leave you feeling like you're just scratching the surface...
If you're craving a space to go deeper and actually move through the pain…
IFS-informed EMDR intensives offer a powerful, accelerated approach to healing.
You’re starting to understand what’s causing your pain, but your emotions and body haven’t caught up.
Weekly therapy feels slow, with new challenges each week keeping you from diving deeper.
Your schedule makes it hard to stay consistent, and progress feels disrupted.
The long road of unpacking trauma feels overwhelming and endless.
Sessions end just as you’re gaining traction, leaving you frustrated and stuck.
You feel lost and confused, but you’re READY to feel better.
I see you.
There’s a different way to heal, one that allows you to go deeper, move faster, and finally feel a shift in the parts that have been holding on for so long.
So, I’ve chosen to offer something different.
Instead of the traditional 50-minute talk therapy model, I now offer IFS-informed EMDR intensives.
These longer sessions give us time to slow down and stay with what’s coming up—without rushing.
We’ll work with stuck beliefs, tend to the parts of you still holding pain, and create space for meaningful relief.
This approach creates space for your system to feel safe, supported, and ready to let go of what’s been keeping you stuck.
What Is an IFS-Informed EMDR Intensive?
An IFS-informed EMDR intensive is a personalized, focused approach to trauma therapy designed to help you experience meaningful relief in a shorter amount of time.
Instead of the limitations of weekly 50-minute sessions, this format offers extended 3-hour sessions over the course of three days. This gives us the time and space to go deeper, stay connected to the work, and support your system without rushing.
You won't need to spend half the session catching up, navigating surface-level stressors, or trying to squeeze deep work into too little time. The intensive format allows us to get to the heart of what’s keeping you stuck—and begin to shift it.
This approach is ideal for women who are ready to slow down, turn inward, and move through trauma in a way that honors the pace of their nervous system and the wisdom of their internal world.
How Does an IFS-Informed EMDR Intensive Work?
-
We’ll begin with a free 20-minute consultation to explore whether an intensive is the right fit for your needs.
You’ll have space to ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and decide if this approach feels aligned and supportive for you.
-
Before beginning the intensive, we’ll meet for a 90-minute intake /pre assessment session. This gives us time to:
Explore what you're hoping to shift, process, or heal
(e.g., “I want to feel less reactive in my relationship,” or “I want to stop replaying what happened to me”)Get to know the parts of you that feel stuck or protective
Clarify what relief or growth might look like for you
Discuss relevant life experiences and your current supports
Introduce EMDR and the use of bilateral stimulation (BLS) in a way that feels accessible and safe
This session sets the foundation for your intensive, creating a personalized plan and ensuring your system feels as prepared and supported as possible.
-
During your intensive, we’ll have 3 hours (for three days) to move at your pace, using EMDR and parts work to process what’s been held inside.
We’ll work with the stuck memories, beliefs, or emotional loops that continue to impact your daily life
I’ll guide you through bilateral stimulation (BLS), which helps your brain and body connect to their natural capacity for healing
Along the way, we’ll check in with the parts of you that may need extra care or feel unsure about doing this work
These sessions are deep and focused AND always attuned to what your system can handle. The goal isn’t to “get through it”. It’s to create meaningful relief and internal shifts that support your healing long after the intensive ends.
What are the fees?
Because this is a specialized service, sessions are billed at $250 per hour.

After the phone consultation, we will have a 90 minute intake session. We will then meet for 3 hours for 3 consecutive days.
The total cost of the intensive is $2625
This investment can feel scary and like you are taking a big leap… You also deserve trauma care that gives you time, space, and the depth to heal.
