I help women transform deeply rooted patterns through EMDR Intensive Therapy

For women who know there's more to the story than what traditional talk therapy has uncovered.

You’re here because

Weekly therapy hasn’t led to lasting transformation.

You’ve diligently shown up to sessions, done the reading, and gained intellectual insights. Yet you notice the same emotional triggers and relational patterns still repeating. You know the root of your issues, but the true breakthroughs and relief you’ve hoped for remain out of reach.

Maybe you’re juggling a demanding career, caring for aging parents, or navigating the complex emotions of midlife transitions. Despite all your efforts, you’re still struggling with anxiety, relationship conflict, or unresolved grief. You’re ready for something deeper and more effective.

Hi. I’m Kristen.

I offer a highly focused, intensive approach to therapy.

My path to becoming an EMDR therapist began in an unexpected place - through my own struggles and therapy. After years in corporate leadership and feeling unfulfilled, I found myself facing depression and choosing partnerships that didn't serve me.

Traditional therapy helped me understand these patterns, but it was EMDR that finally helped me transform them. This profound personal transformation led me to become a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and get certified in EMDR therapy. Today, I help other women experience the same deep healing that changed my life.

What sets my approach apart is the intensive format. While traditional weekly therapy can help you understand your patterns, EMDR intensives create the focused space needed to truly resolve them. We create the right environment for your brain to heal, and then give it the time and space it needs to integrate this healing.

HELPING YOU TRANSFORM

My Intensive EMDR approach is ideal for women who:

  • Have benefited from traditional therapy but feel ready for deeper change

  • Are stable in their daily lives and have good support systems

  • Can recognize how their past influences their present

  • Are willing to look at childhood experiences to understand present-day patterns

  • Identify as empathetic, intuitive, or highly sensitive, and want a therapist who “gets” this trait

  • Are ready to invest in focused, transformative work

EMDR Intensives: A Different Approach to Healing

Unlike traditional weekly therapy, EMDR intensives provide the focused time and space needed to fully process difficult memories and experiences. Sessions typically run 3 hours, allowing us to:

  • Process memories without feeling rushed

  • Create lasting neural changes

  • Maintain momentum in the healing process

  • Work at a pace that honors your nervous system

We will schedule our intensive sessions at a pace that works for you maybe a few sessions over a couple of weeks or months which allows your brain time to integrate the healing between sessions. This approach has helped my clients finally break free from patterns they've struggled with for years.
