When life brings loss, cancer or a seismic shift, it's easy to stay in survival mode. You push through, hold it together, do what's needed-often while quietly falling apart inside.. But real integration-finding your way back to yourself when everything feels scary, chaotic and unfamiliar asks for something different: space, time, and focused care.
EMDR intensives offer a chance to pause the noise, step out of the daily demands, and finally tend to what’s been waiting beneath the surface. This isn’t about managing symptoms — it’s about creating the conditions for lasting change.
This is an invitation for women ready to find their exhale and rebuild on steadier ground.
EMDR Intensives with me offer the support to move through it—not around it—and begin to feel like yourself again, in a new and truer way.
You don’t have to keep holding it all together. You’re not meant to carry this alone. What’s been weighing on you deserves time and care. Here, you can begin to reconnect, reclaim, and rebuild—at your own pace.
Hear Me Loud and Clear On This:
Has been moving through life on autopilot—making it look easy—while quietly losing touch with herself.
Knows she’s at a pivotal crossroads after loss, cancer, or change—and wants clarity, courage, and deep support to navigate what’s next with confidence.
is facing something massive right now—a cancer diagnosis, profound loss, or critical decision—and knows her mental clarity and strength are essential to moving through this season.
is carrying grief, trauma, or fear for so long it feels woven into daily life—and is ready for focused time to process, heal, and feel lighter.
EMDR Intensives Offer that space
These deep-dive sessions pause the noise, tend to what’s buried, and give you the focused support needed to move through what weekly therapy can’t always hold. This isn’t about just managing symptoms. It’s about clarity. Integration. Reconnection. A different kind of progress—one that honors your depth, your strength, and the complexity of what you’re carrying.
To the Woman Who:
It’s about regaining your footing—not to go back, but to move forward—with steadiness, self-compassion, and a deeper connection to what matters most to you.
Intensives offer what weekly therapy often can’t—time to go deeper and gain real momentum. Instead of waiting months for change, you’ll create lasting shifts that help you move forward with more clarity, calm, and confidence in yourself.
Why This Work Changes Everything
If you’ve always been the one who holds it all together, what happens when everything falls apart? A loss, a diagnosis, a turning point—and suddenly, you don’t recognize your own life. We start by slowing down and making space for what you shouldn't have to carry alone. In extended EMDR sessions, we’ll process what’s raw so that you can navigate with the strength, clarity, and self-trust that are still yours—even now.
What to Expect in Our Work Together
This work is for the woman who’s always been strong and steady—until life cracked things open. Whether it’s grief, a cancer diagnosis, or a painful turning point, EMDR intensives create space to tend to what you’ve been carrying. Here, you don’t have to hold it all together. With focused, attuned support, you’ll move through what’s felt stuck and begin to reconnect with your clarity, confidence, and self-trust—so you can live in alignment with what you need now.
What This Work Is Really About
This isn’t one-size-fits-all healing. Whether you’re facing grief, a health crisis, or a major decision, your intensive is shaped around you. We’ll collaborate to create an experience that helps you feel safe, supported, and ready for what’s next.
In this work, we don’t just revisit old stories—we create space for your mind and body to finally integrate what’s been overwhelming.We create space for your mind and body to finally process the grief, fear, and shock that have been too much to carry alone, allowing real integration and relief to take root.
When you're navigating profound loss, the trauma of a cancer diagnosis, or a life-altering decision, surface-level work isn’t enough. EMDR intensives offer dedicated time to address what’s beneath the surface—so you can gain clarity, process deeply, and move forward with steadiness.
Because you deserve more than strategies when life breaks you open.

Options & Investment
Weekly therapy can be powerful, but the stop-and-start format has limits. By the time you check in, start to explore something important, the session is already ending—leaving maybe 30–35 minutes for deeper work.
Intensives remove that time pressure. You have space to go deeper—often with over 2.5 hours of focused therapeutic work in a single day. For many clients, the momentum and clarity that come from this format feel not only efficient—but profoundly relieving.
Great question! This depends on your goals for the Therapy Intensive. Some goals can be reached in a 1 Day Intensive (3 hours), but other goals are more complex and may require a 3 Day Intensive. I can help you determine the number of days that would work best for your therapy goals.
Absolutely! Therapy Intensives work very well as an adjunct therapy. I would ask that you sign a Release of Information so that your current therapist and I can collaborate/coordinate to best serve you.
Intensive application of trauma-focused therapy seems to be well tolerated in patients with PTSD, enabling faster symptom reduction with similar, or even better, results, while reducing the risk that patients drop out prematurely.
Intensive EMDR treatment is feasible and is indicative of reliable improvement in PTSD symptoms in a very short time frame.
An intensive program using EMDR therapy is a potentially safe and effective treatment alternative for complex PTSD.
The economy is compelling: even compared to other trauma therapy, the intensive format may decrease treatment time, because of time not spent on a) checking in at the beginning of each session, b) addressing current crises and concerns, c) focusing on stabilizing and coping skills that the client won’t need after trauma healing, or d) assisting the client in regaining composure at the end of the session.
Therapy Intensives are not covered by insurance. However, if you have out-of-network benefits, your insurance company may reimburse a portion of the Therapy Intensive. It’s best to call the customer service number on the back of your insurance card to learn the details about your specific plan. Make sure to ask questions like: Do I have a deductible for out-of- network services? Have I met my deductible? What CPT billing codes do you reimburse (i.e. 90837 or two 90843 in one day)? What is the rate of reimbursement for each billing code? What is the allowable amount for reimbursement?
She provides a secure environment for her clients to journey through the EMDR process and helps them to reach a stronger, freer and more authentic place. I cannot recommend her enough.
With EMDR psychotherapy, Cara can really help people to get to the roots of their problems.
But with Cara, I finally have a safe space to be honest. I know I will be treated with compassion, understanding and respect, even when I struggle to believe I deserve those things. Cara brings empathy, vulnerability and deep consideration of my true self to all of our work together, and I know I could never actually heal with less.
Sometimes the truth of what I'm going through feels too ugly to share with anyone.
She really has helped a family member with their internal struggles and begun to trust in their own instinct again.
Cara is very patient, kind, and thorough.
Cara is not only a true professional, but she is supportive, warm, and authentic in her therapeutic approach.
Supportive, warm, and authentic.
Cara has been able to see into the shadows and guide me through a process that allowed me to understand the parts of myself that I've heretofore tried to hide. Due to her immense amount of empathy, without judgment, she creates a safe environment for me to delve into vulnerable areas of my experiences that I wanted to assess.
Cara helped me to find and develop my own capacities to live with even more authenticity and ease.
My clients have had great success in working with Cara; she is thoughtful, gentle in her approach, experienced in grief counseling and helping women navigate through different seasons of life that can sometimes come with heavy burdens, grief, and stress. Cara is well diverse in her areas of expertise and training so not only will you get the full package, but someone who is committed to seeing you reach your goals.
Cara is an absolute gem!
My thoughts are no longer spiraling. Before I had temporary fixes, and now I'm feeling a lot better every day.
I'm a recovered overthinker.
