Focused EMDR trauma therapy designed for meaningful progress — without months of weekly sessions, in Grand Island and across Nebraska via telehealth.
Deeper Work. Real Momentum. Less Waiting.
Focused EMDR trauma therapy designed for meaningful progress — without months of weekly sessions.
EMDR Intensive Therapy is a powerful way to accelerate the healing that you would experience in a typical EMDR session.
Rather than going to counseling for an hour session once a week, you would set aside a specific chunk of time - 3 hours or 3 days - for intensive therapeutic work.
EMDR Intensives can help:
Anxiety + Overwhelm
Regain calm when life feels too busy or stressful.
Relationships
Heal past hurts impacting partnership, parenting, or family connections.
Birth and Medical Trauma
Process difficult birth experiences, surgeries, or medical events that continue to affect your wellbeing and prepare for the future.
Self Doubt
Release negative self-beliefs that hold you back from confidence and clarity.
Life Transitions
Navigate motherhood, career shifts, or major life changes without feeling stuck.

It is a concentrated way to get the power of EMDR without having time in between sessions. It helps people journey deeper and feel better faster.

Before your intensive, we meet for a Pre-Intensive Interview to clarify your goals and assess where you are right now — your stressors, support system, coping patterns, and where you’re craving relief or growth.
During the intensive, we focus on two things:
Helping the painful parts of your story hurt less
Strengthening the positive parts of you so they feel even stronger
We use EMDR reprocessing along with resourcing practices like guided meditation and body based exercises — all incorporating bilateral stimulation to support your brain’s natural healing process.
For some women, we explore early attachment experiences. For others, the work is more future-focused. Every intensive is deeply personalized to you.
Afterward, we meet for a Post-Intensive Integration Session to reflect on what shifted and how to carry that momentum forward. I also encourage sharing insights with trusted people in your life so they can support and celebrate your growth.
Please see EMDR Intensive Packages for more information on rates for these premium therapy services.

EMDR Intensives are not about reliving trauma over and over instead they help you stop reliving the pain and start living fully again.
Reduce the emotional charge of traumatic memories so triggers no longer control your reactions.
Calm the nervous system, so stress, overwhelm, and anxiety feel more manageable.
Transform old patterns of reactivity into intentional responses — in relationships, parenting, and daily life.
Strengthen your confidence, clarity, and ability to trust yourself.
Reconnect to joy, pleasure, and safety in your body and mind.
In short, you leave feeling lighter, steadier, and more like yourself — without having to relive the past repeatedly.

EMDR is a scientifically proven therapy that helps the brain process trauma and stress safely and effectively. It’s recognized by leading mental health organizations for treating anxiety, PTSD, birth trauma, and other difficult experiences.
You’re In Control
EMDR is not hypnosis, magic, or anything “out of your control.” You remain fully aware and active throughout the process. Think of it as guided processing — your mind and body are in charge, and I’m there to support you every step of the way.

In person at my office in Grand Island or online throughout Nebraska.
EMDR intensive sessions are similar to going on a personal retreat. It’s best to allow time outside of sessions to be unscheduled or filled only with self-care activities like exercise, body work (acupuncture or massage), and creative expression – drawing, painting, cooking.

These are premium therapy services.
Due to the nature and timeframe of EMDR Intensives, insurance typically does not cover EMDR Intensives.
I recommend calling the customer service number on the back of your insurance card in order to get details about your specific plan. Please know that the insurance company requires a diagnosis code as a reason for treatment.

EMDR Intensives give you the results you would get from months of therapy in a much shorter period of time. If you add up the cost of weekly therapy, an EMDR Intensive is actually more cost effective. Instead of waiting months, you can get the same results in a few days.
