Breakthrough Therapy Intensives

EMDR, Brainspotting & somatic healing for high-achieving women: in person in CT, online across NY.

You're the one everyone counts on. You hold it together for your team, your family, the people who depend on you showing up.
You've done the therapy. You've read the books. You know your patterns.

And you're still tired. Still triggered by the same things. Still wondering why the breakthrough you've been working toward keeps staying just out of reach.

The Problem with Weekly Therapy

Weekly therapy isn't always enough.

In a 50-minute session, you often get to the real insight just as time runs out. You leave halfway through something important. By next week, life has piled up and you're using the hour to talk about what happened on Tuesday.

A Breakthrough Intensive gives you something weekly therapy can't: uninterrupted time, in a contained space, with the depth of work you actually need to move the thing that's been stuck.

Who This Is For

Breakthrough Intensives are designed for women like you

You're a good fit if you're:

  • A high-achieving woman, leader, creative, or sensitive striver

  • Carrying the cost of always being the strong one

  • Tired of coping strategies that just manage symptoms

  • Ready for an embodied, whole-person approach, not just talk therapy

  • Navigating a major transition: loss, career shift, relationship change, burnout

  • Done with surface-level work and ready to go deeper

This isn't the right fit if you're:

  • In immediate crisis or needing stabilization

  • Actively suicidal or recently so

  • Using substances in a way that would interfere with the work

  • Looking for a quick fix without readiness to engage

What Makes This Different

A truly integrative approach

Most intensives offer one modality. I weave several together based on what your nervous system, body, and history actually need:

  • EMDR & IFS-informed EMDR for trauma resolution and parts work

  • Brainspotting for accessing what talk therapy can't reach

  • Therapeutic yoga & somatic practices for nervous system regulation

  • Breathwork & grounding for safe entry and integration

Because we're located at The Bridge Healing Arts Center in Farmington, CT, you can build your intensive into a true retreat experience. Add massage, reiki, sound healing, sauna, or quiet meditation space between sessions. Lunch and snack breaks happen at the on-site cafe.

It's the depth of intensive trauma work, in a setting designed for healing.

Trauma therapist · Certified Therapeutic Yoga Specialist · EMDR & Brainspotting trained

After years of working with ambitious, high-performing women, I noticed the same pattern: smart, capable women who'd done plenty of therapy and still felt stuck in their bodies and their lives. Weekly therapy gave them insight. It didn't always give them change.

Breakthrough Intensives are how I help women get to the change. By combining EMDR, Brainspotting, and somatic work in focused, contained blocks of time, we can move what weekly therapy can't, and you walk out feeling it, not just understanding it.

I'm licensed in Connecticut and New York and see clients in person at The Bridge Healing Arts Center in Farmington, CT, or virtually anywhere in CT or NY.

Who This Is For

What transformation actually looks like

In a Breakthrough Intensive, you get:

  • Focused, uninterrupted time to process what's been stuck

  • Real nervous-system regulation, not just techniques to try later

  • Parts work and trauma resolution in one container

  • Embodied change you can feel, not just insights you can describe

  • A clear framework for integrating the work into your daily life

  • More shift in a few hours than months of weekly sessions

You'll leave lighter. Clearer. Reconnected to the part of you that's been waiting underneath everything you've been carrying.

FAQs

  • For many clients, yes. The intensive format is designed to create deep, focused progress in one block of time. Some women come for one intensive and feel complete. Others choose to do a series, or add ongoing weekly support afterward. We'll figure out what makes sense for you on the consult.

  • Not as intense as it sounds. “Intensive” refers to the length and focus of the session, not the emotional difficulty. The sessions are carefully structured with grounding, somatic practices, and integration time. Most clients leave feeling lighter, and tired in the way you're tired after a good workout, not depleted.

  • No. Every intensive includes nervous system regulation work at the start, contained processing in the middle, and integration at the end. You're never pushed past what your system can hold. Pacing is collaborative.

  • Intensives are not covered by insurance due to their extended, customized format. I provide superbills for possible out-of-network reimbursement on intake and follow-up sessions. FSA/HSA accepted.

  • That's often ideal. Many clients use intensives alongside their ongoing weekly therapy to break through a specific block or accelerate progress on a particular goal. I'll coordinate with your therapist if you'd like.

  • In-person sessions at The Bridge Healing Arts Center are the deepest experience because of the somatic and adjunct support available. Virtual intensives are available for Connecticut and New York residents and work well for clients who prefer their own space or can't travel.

  • I'm licensed in CT and NY, so virtual intensives are available to residents of those states. For in-person, many clients travel in for a multi-day intensive and treat it as a healing retreat. The Farmington area has plenty of lodging within 15 minutes of the center.

  • A 50% deposit reserves your intensive. Deposits are non-refundable within 14 days of your scheduled session. Rescheduling more than 14 days out does not affect your deposit.
