EMDR Intensives in Virginia: Fast-Track Your Healing Journey
Ready to leave your emotional baggage at the door? Let's dive in.
Ready to Heal? Let’s Dive In.
You’ve been carrying that thing—the trauma, the anxiety, the overwhelming stress—for way too long. You’ve done talk therapy, maybe even some EMDR sessions, but you’re ready for something deeper, something that actually moves the needle in a big way.
Welcome to EMDR Intensives—where we skip the week-to-week slow drip and dive straight into healing. Think of it as binge-watching your own transformation, except instead of a cliffhanger, you walk away feeling lighter, clearer, and actually free.
Wait, What is EMDR Again?
Great question! EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a powerful, evidence-based therapy that helps your brain unstick from painful past experiences. Through bilateral stimulation, your brain reprocesses trauma, reducing its emotional charge. Translation: the stuff that used to feel overwhelming becomes meh.
And guess what? It works fast.
Why EMDR Intensives?
Most therapy is like trying to put out a fire with a teaspoon of water once a week. With an EMDR Intensive, we bring the fire hose. Instead of months or years of weekly sessions, we tackle the core issues in a focused, immersive way, allowing you to process a lot in just a few days.
Benefits of an EMDR Intensive vs. Weekly Therapy:
✔️ Faster results—why wait months for breakthroughs? ✔️ No weekly “warm-up” time—we get right to the healing. ✔️ More focused & uninterrupted—no life distractions between sessions. ✔️ Deep transformation in a condensed timeframe. ✔️ You walk away with real relief, not just insight about why you feel the way you do.
What Can Be Healed With EMDR?
✔️ Childhood wounds & attachment trauma
✔️ Anxiety, stress, and panic attacks
✔️ PTSD & past traumas
✔️ Intrusive thoughts
✔️ Relationship patterns & codependency
✔️ Self-worth & limiting beliefs
✔️ Grief & loss
✔️ Perfectionism & imposter syndrome
✔️ And basically anything that’s making your brain feel like a chaotic mess.
Attachment-Focused EMDR: Healing Your Past to Change Your Future
So many of our struggles stem from early attachment wounds—the way we learned (or didn’t learn) to feel safe, seen, and connected as kids. If you’ve ever wondered why you keep repeating the same painful patterns, this is likely why.
With Attachment-Focused EMDR, we don’t just process trauma—we help the younger, wounded parts of you find the security they never had. Using parts work, we gently connect with different aspects of yourself, allowing healing to happen in a deeply compassionate way. No more ignoring that inner child—it's time to finally give them the love and safety they needed all along.

FAQs About EMDR Intensives
Q: Can I really do this virtually?
A: Yep! Everything I do in-office can be done virtually. EMDR works just as effectively online, and you get to do it from the comfort of your own space (bonus: sweatpants encouraged - but must be in the state of Virginia).
Q: Does insurance cover the cost?
A: I wish! Unfortunately, insurance hasn’t caught up to the research showing the speedy healing effects of EMDR Intensives (which could save them millions!). However, I can provide a superbill on request as an out-of-network provider and I can provide payment plans leading up to the first day of the intensive.
Q: What if I don’t finish processing everything in one intensive?
A: That’s okay! Some people feel significant relief after one intensive, while others may need more sessions in the future. We can discuss what’s best for you.
Q: Will I feel worse before I feel better?
A: Possibly—but only temporarily. EMDR is powerful, and processing trauma can bring up emotions. But that’s exactly what helps you move through it, instead of staying stuck in it.
Q: Is this going to be super intense?
A: It’s called an intensive for a reason—but that doesn’t mean I rush or overwhelm you. I go at your pace, ensuring you feel supported the whole way. And yes, there are breaks. I’m not a monster.
Q: How do I know if an EMDR Intensive is right for me?
A: If you’re ready to finally get to the root of what’s holding you back—and want to make real progress fast—this is for you.
