The Self-Trust Reset

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is an evidence based trauma treatment that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories, emotions, moments, negative beliefs, and emotional patterns so they no longer feel as triggering, overwhelming, or impactful to you.

We use bilateral stimulation (which activates the right and left centers of the brain) - like eye movements, tapping, and/or sound - to help the brain “digest” stuck experiences and build new, adaptive beliefs.

It’s not about reliving trauma or old memories, but creating new pathways of safety, self-trust, and emotional regulation.

While originally developed for PTSD, EMDR is also highly effective for:

• Anxiety and chronic stress

• Attachment wounds and relationship issues

• Low self-worth and inner criticism

• People-pleasing and perfectionism

• Burnout and emotional overwhelm

• Life transitions or grief

• Childhood experiences that still feel unresolved

• Body image issues

You don’t need to have a single “big trauma” for EMDR to be helpful. It’s often the smaller, repeated moments of disconnection or invalidation that leave the deepest imprint - and EMDR helps you shift those patterns at the root.

Traditional therapy is often limited to 50-minute sessions, which can make it feel time limited and cut you off right when you’re in the midst of a breakthrough or big insight. Then you have to wait another week to do it again and the process continues.

This reset offer a spacious, uninterrupted time to focus fully on healing. You’ll have the time and nervous system support to move through what’s keeping you stuck without feeling rushed or fragmented. And you get the chance to keep going when we’re in the midst of flow!

It also gives the chance to spend more time building up resources like grounding skills, self-regulation skills, and really get mindful and present before diving into the process.

Because its customized and personalized - if you are interested in learning other skills, actually practicing mindfulness and somatic exercises, or going somewhere else - we get the time to!

It’s 2-3 days of uninterrupted space to slow down, feel, process, and heal. This immersive EMDR and somatic therapy experience gives your body and mind the time they actually need to shift long-held patterns.

Intensives are best for people who are ready to focus on one or two stuck points - whether that’s a trauma memory, a relational pattern, or a specific area of growth.

You don’t need to be fully “healed” but you should be emotionally stable enough to safely engage in deeper work. This is not for stabalization and major crisis. We’ll explore this together during your free consultation.

For the self trust reset, you’re a good fit if you struggle with:

• Anxiety and hypervigilance in relationships or in your attachment style

• People pleasing and fawning

• Codependent patterns, putting other people first, and abandoning your needs to attend to others

• Carrying low self esteem, shame, and feelings of unworthiness

• Perfectionism and struggling to believe you are inherently good enough, regardless of what you achieve or give

Intensives are completely private pay and are not covered by insurance nor am I able to send you a superbill for partial reimbursement unfortunately. They start at $2750 and depending on time, days, and any add ons will increase in fee.

When you book an intensive, I’m holding a significant amount of time just for you - including reserving a private office space (for in-person), preparing personalized materials, and won’t see other clients that day.

Because of the time and energy that goes into planning and holding an intensive, a 50% non-refundable deposit is required to secure your spot. This protects the space for both of us - and allows me to show up fully prepared to support your healing.

The remaining balance is due by the day of your intake session. Payment plans for full-day intensives may be available upon request. We will discuss all of this in our consultation.

That’s totally okay - many clients come to intensives while actively working with another therapist.

This work can compliment your ongoing therapy by helping you go deeper on a specific issue or clear a stuck point that’s been hard to move through.

With your permission, I’m happy to coordinate care or send a brief summary to your therapist to support your continued progress.

If you do not have one and you end up interested in continuing care post intensive I am happy to help with referrals or discuss working together if it fits.

Nope! EMDR is not for everyone. I just offer this modality for intensives because 50 minutes often ends up not enough time.

If you have other needs for an intensive - we can absolutely discuss! An example: if you are working on codependency, people pleasing, perfectionism, and anxiety we can spend time working on identifying where these patterns come from, ways to regulate your nervous system, do some self discovery work, somatic exercises, mindful self compassion practices, and role play boundary setting.

This is just an example, but we do not have to use EMDR for your work. Even if we are processing trauma, there are other ways we can work on it.

Intensives still offer that longer form - in depth work so we don’t have to stop right in the midst of some break throughs! It also gives us the time to really practice some of the things we are speaking about and for me to guide you in somatic resourcing.
