EMDR Intensive Therapy · Austin, Texas
You’ve done the work. Now go deeper.
The traditional model of therapy—50 minutes, once a week—often provides enough space to manage symptoms, but not necessarily enough time to heal the source. EMDR Intensives offer a different rhythm: multiple hours of focused, deep processing that allow your brain and nervous system to finish the work they've been trying to do for years.
Accelerated Progress
Months of traditional therapy condensed into days. We bypass the weekly cycle of 'catching up' and stay focused on the work that matters.
Your brain needs more than 50 minutes to heal.
Standard therapy sessions often end right as the deep work begins. Intensives eliminate the 'warm-up' period, allowing your nervous system to fully drop into a state of processing that creates real, structural change.
Sustained Focus
Deeper processing occurs when we have the time and space to stay with a single target without interruption.
Rapid Symptom Relief
Reduce the overall distress of traumatic memories and triggers in a significantly shorter timeframe than traditional models.
Deeper Healing
Access memories and internal states that are often buried under the defenses we maintain during busy weekly schedules.
Is this you?
You are a high-achiever, a caregiver, or a cycle-breaker. On the outside, you have it together. On the inside, you are exhausted by the constant hum of anxiety, the weight of old memories, or the feeling that you are just performing your life instead of living it.
“I know what’s wrong. I’ve talked about it for years. But I still feel it in my body.”
You don’t need more coping skills. You need a different experience. You are ready to stop managing your trauma and start moving through it.
EMDR Intensives are designed for those ready for the deep work of transformation.
Meet Joshua
I won't ask you to go anywhere I haven't been willing to go myself.
I work exclusively with intensive EMDR formats—extended sessions designed for deep processing.
​
My route to this work came through lived experience. I spent years navigating tumultuous relationships while quietly drowning in depression and repeating patterns that left me smaller, not stronger. I was successful on paper but unraveling underneath.
​
Talk therapy gave me insight, but insight didn't create relief. When I started EMDR—including intensive sessions—my recovery from complex trauma actually began. Not just understanding it differently, but experiencing genuine shifts in my body, my reactions, my sense of self. That transformation was so complete it changed my professional direction entirely.
​
I earned my Master's in Social Work and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both Texas and Colorado. I pursued specialized training in EMDR because I knew firsthand what this method could do when given the right conditions.
​
The intensive structure matters enormously. Weekly sessions can build awareness, but concentrated EMDR work offers something qualitatively different: uninterrupted time for your nervous system to fully process what it needs to process. We design an environment where your brain's innate healing mechanisms can actually complete their work, with the extended space required for real integration.

I guide adults & other healers through intensive EMDR experiences that transform childhood pain into lasting peace
I'm a warm and empathetic Clinical Social Worker with 10 years of experience in the mental health field, and I'm passionate about partnering with you to support your brain's natural ability to move towards healing through EMDR and Ego State Therapy.
​
I've sifted through the ashes of my own life in the midst of healers, so I understand how profoundly sacred the therapeutic relationship is. Beginning trauma treatment can be greatly challenging, and it's brave of you to start this journey. I offer a compassionate presence that can hold the depth of your pain and understand the resilience it takes to heal. I'm passionate about providing a space where you feel heard, seen, and supported as you navigate your unique path to recovery.
Why EMDR Intensives?
I specialize in EMDR intensive therapy because I believe healing doesn't have to happen in small increments over years. EMDR intensives allow us to create dedicated, focused time for deep processing—condensing months of traditional therapy into concentrated sessions that honor the urgency of your healing journey. Whether you're noticing patterns in your relationships that keep you stuck, recognizing cycles from your family of origin playing out in your adult life, or you're a fellow healer committed to doing your own deep work, intensives provide the immersive space needed for your nervous system to process and integrate experiences more completely.
In our intensive work together, we'll use EMDR, parts work, yoga, and somatic practices to unlock profound, lasting change—moving you from merely surviving to truly thriving. The intensive format is particularly powerful for those who need breakthrough moments, who've tried traditional therapy without the progress they hoped for, or who simply want to dedicate focused time to their healing without the stop-and-start nature of weekly sessions.
Choose your depth.
Healing is rarely linear, and it often requires more than a standard session can provide. EMDR Intensives allow us to stay with the work until a shift actually happens. Choose the format that best supports your nervous system and your goals.
Every intensive includes:
a 90-minute pre-intensive session, a customized preparation workbook, resourcing and parts work, and a 90-minute post-intensive integration session.
​
Every nervous system moves at its own pace. Some people move quickly; others need more time to build safety before deeper work can begin. Longer intensives don’t promise more results, they give us more room to follow wherever your system needs to go.
The Reset
two-Day Intensive
$3,250
A good fit if: you have a focused concern in mind, you’re new to intensive work, or you want to experience this format before committing to more.
​
Two days gives us concentrated, uninterrupted time together. That’s enough to move past the warm-up and into real processing, with a clear plan for continuing the work afterward.
The Deep Dive
three-Day Intensive
$4,500
A good fit if: what you’re carrying feels more like a pattern than a single event, or you’ve done some therapy before and know your system can take time to settle in.
​
The third day changes the pace. There’s space to slow down when something needs more care, and still time left to keep going when things start moving.
The Transformation
Five-Day Intensive
$7,000
A good fit if: you’re working with complex or developmental trauma, you’ve spent years in therapy and still feel stuck, or you want to give your healing the fullest container possible.
Â
Five days means we never have to rush. If your system needs extra time to build trust, we have it. If the work starts flowing, we don’t have to stop. There’s room for deep parts work, for rest and integration built into each day, and for following the work wherever it leads instead of fitting it into a timeline.
