The Unburdening Intensive
Deep, focused therapy for the ones who give everything to everyone else—except to themselves.
Support for burnout, boundary guilt, and perfectionism.
Strong on the outside.
Worn out on the inside.
You’re the strong one. The capable one. The one who always shows up.
The one people depend on—at work, at home, in your community.
You know how to listen, fix, soothe, and step in.
You’ve learned to move between generations, cultures, and expectations.
You’re the bridge, the buffer, the one who absorbs the weight so others don’t have to.
But something is starting to crack.
Maybe it was…
A health scare.
Another birthday.
Or the gradual ending of a relationship that once felt safe.
You’ve tried therapy. You’ve journaled, meditated, used all the tools.
You’ve made strides.
And still… you find yourself in the same cycles that obscure who you truly are.
This isn’t "just stress."
This is survival mode—dressed in perfectionism, people-pleasing, and overfunctioning.
And you’re so, so tired.
You are in the right place.
introducing
The Unburdening Intensive
Focused, embodied therapy where the real you is the priority—so you can stop performing and give yourself the care you offer everyone else.
What is an intensive—and how is it different?
A traditional weekly session gives you a moment’s breath.
An intensive gives you uninterrupted time to stay with what matters—without rushing past the hard parts.
This isn’t about cramming therapy into fewer hours.
It’s about creating a space that’s steady enough, spacious enough, for the deeper work to actually land—so nothing has to be put back on the shelf or saved for later.
What makes this intensive different?
Multiple healing paths—not just talk.
We integrate EMDR, Parts Work, Sand Tray, and Trauma-Conscious Yoga—woven together responsively, so each session meets you where you are, not where a manual says you should be.Pacing that honors your nervous system.
This isn’t about pushing through—it’s about slowing down, creating safety, and gently holding what once felt too big or too much.Your body gets a seat at the table.
This is embodied therapy. Your insights won’t just stay in your head—they’ll root into your body, your breath, your daily life.
Built-in support before, during, and after.
You’ll get a pre-intensive session to clarify your goals, a personalized workbook, and a post-intensive session to integrate everything you’ve uncovered—so nothing important slips through the cracks.
You're not just a client. You're the expert of your own healing.
I’m not here to “fix” you. I’m here to walk beside you—to witness, guide, and help you listen to your own inner voice again
What the Unburdening Intensive Includes
Pre-Intensive Session (1.5 hours)
We begin by mapping your inner landscape—your goals, your story, what feels urgent, and what feels sacred. This helps us co‑create a roadmap that honors you, not a one-size-fits-all agenda.
Personalized Workbook & Resources
You’ll receive curated tools, reflection prompts, and somatic practices designed to support your process long after the session ends.
Deep Work Sessions
During these sessions, we’ll weave modalities like EMDR, Parts Work, Sand Tray, and embodied somatic practices—guided by what your system is ready to receive.
We also include breaks, grounding, check-ins, and pacing built-in—so we never force, we always respond.
Post‑Intensive Session (1.5 hours)
We debrief, integrate, and co-create next steps so insights settle into day-to-day life. You leave with clarity and a practical plan to lean into your growth.
Integration Support & Collaboration
Your growth doesn’t end when the session does. You’ll walk away with tools to carry forward. If you have an ongoing therapist, I’ll collaborate with them—with your permission—so this intensive becomes part of your broader journey, not siloed from it.

Why Now?
Because the inner tension is louder than it’s ever been.
Because waiting another six months feels unbearable.
Because the heaviness you’re carrying is bleeding into your relationships, your creativity, your health.
Because transformation doesn’t have to take forever—when it’s held with focus, care, and depth.
Because you deserve the kind of time, space, and presence you so often give to others.
What Are the Benefits of an Intensive Format?
→Focused time and space.
You’re not cut off mid-breakthrough. You get to stay with what matters.
→Deeper movement, faster access.
Without weekly gaps, insights can build, connect, and land.
→Not just thoughts—shifts you can feel.
This work lives in your body, your breath, your daily rhythms—not just your mind.
→Trauma-responsive, not trauma-rushed.
Your pace. Your wisdom. Your readiness. Always.
→Integration that lasts.
You leave with tools, clarity, and an embodied plan forward—not just inspiration, but traction.
Whether you’re craving clarity, healing, or a reset,
The Unburdening Intensive
is designed to meet you where you are and help you shift what’s been hardest to move.
This intensive helps you move from...
Burnout → to rest that feels deserved—and essential.
People-pleasing → to boundaries that are steady, firm, and kind.
Guilt and perfectionism → to clarity, compassion, and permission to be human.
Old family roles and patterns → to present-day choices that reflect you.
Self-doubt → to the confidence to trust your own voice and choices
Stuck therapy loops → to real movement, deep integration, and lasting change.
Is This Therapy Intensive a Good Fit For Me?
You might be a good fit for The Unburdening Intensive if:
You can name the pattern in your sleep—but the “what now?” still feels out of reach.
You feel guilt or fear when setting boundaries—especially when it feels like you’re disappointing those you love most.
You’ve been the strong one for so long…and it’s exhausting you.
You’re craving change that sticks—not just lightbulb moments, but something you can actually feel in your body and your life.
Something painful happened—or kept happening—and it still lingers. You’re ready to move through it, not around it.
You’re steady enough to go deep—and want a space where that depth is held with care.
This intensive might not be the right fit—at least not yet—if:
You’re in crisis, navigating acute safety concerns, or working to stabilize basic needs.
You’re early in your therapy journey and still learning to tolerate strong emotions.
You’re looking for ongoing weekly therapy (this is a focused, short-term experience).
You experience significant dissociation or have been diagnosed with DID—these intensives may not offer the level of structure or specialization needed.
You’re not sure you’re ready to explore deeper emotional work right now (and that’s totally okay!).
If you’re not sure?
Let’s talk. I offer free consultations to help you discern whether an intensive is the right next step—or whether a different kind of support might serve you best right now.
Your Guide Along the Way
You don’t have to do this alone.
I bring a steady presence to this work—wild curiosity, fierce compassion, and deep respect for the path you’ve already walked.
I listen for the parts of you that are afraid, the parts that resist, and the parts that long to be seen.
I’ll guide, but you lead.
I’ll hold the weight when it’s too much—but I trust in your capacity, your insight, and the strength that’s still yours to reclaim.

How We Do The Work
-
![]()
Parts Work (Internal Family Systems-Informed)
Best for: learning how to care for the parts of you that protect, avoid, and overachieve
What it is: A compassionate approach that helps you connect with different “parts” of yourself—the fixer, the protector, the inner child—and bring healing where it’s needed most.
Why we use it: You’re not broken—you’re made of many brilliant parts doing their best to protect you. When they’re understood, they soften. -
![]()
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing)
Best for: untangling past experiences that still feel present
What it is: A research-backed method that helps you process painful memories so they lose their emotional grip—without having to relive them in full.
Why we use it: It can gently rewire how your brain holds past experiences, so you feel more present, less reactive, and more grounded in the now. -
![]()
Sand Tray Therapy
Best for: expressing what words can’t quite reach
What it is: A gentle, expressive modality using miniature figures in a sand tray to externalize your inner world.
Why we use it: Sometimes your system knows what your mind hasn’t yet named. Sand tray offers access to healing that words can’t always unlock. -
![]()
Somatic Integration
Best for: reconnecting to your body as a place of safety and wisdom
What it is: Mindful movement and breath practices that help you safely inhabit your body again—at your pace, with full consent.
Why we use it: Your body carries stories your mind might not. These practices help integrate insights physically, not just cognitively.
frequently asked questions
More questions about therapy intensives? I’ve got answers.
-
Yes—and no. This isn’t a replacement for ongoing therapy; it’s a powerful supplement.
If you’re already working with a therapist, this can deepen and complement the work you’re doing. With your consent, I’m happy to collaborate with them so your growth flows together—not in separate lanes. You’ll leave with a summary and plan that supports your next steps, whatever they are.
-
Life happens. I get it.
Because your intensive time is held just for you and involves substantial preparation, deposits are non-refundable.
If something comes up, you can reschedule with at least two weeks’ notice and apply your deposit toward a new date within three months.
Cancellations made within two weeks of your scheduled intensive (or no-shows) are not refundable.
In case of emergency, please still reach out and we can discuss options for rescheduling.
-
That fear makes so much sense. Change can feel risky—especially when it might shift how others see you or what they expect from you.
You don’t have to let go of everything to grow. You won’t be asked to become someone new—you’ll be supported in becoming more fully yourself.
In this space, we make room for the fear and the longing underneath it—the part of you that wants (and needs!) more freedom, more peace, more you.
-
If you’re reading this and feeling both nervous and curious—you might be ready.
You don’t have to feel “strong” or “healed,” but it helps if you’re not in crisis, and you’ve done enough self-reflection to stay present with emotional work (even the hard stuff).
You’ll get the most from this experience if you’re able to explore old patterns with some stability already in place—and a desire to shift, not just survive.
-
A traditional session gives you space—but sometimes, not enough to stay with what matters.
An intensive gives you uninterrupted time to go deeper and integrate more fully—without being rushed. -
If you’ve done EMDR, parts work, or years of talk therapy but still feel stuck, you’re not alone.
This intensive builds on the insight you already have—but adds focused time, multiple healing paths, and deep integration so your growth doesn’t stay in your head—it lands in your body and life. -
Intensives are an investment—and a service that is not covered by insurance.
That said, I want this work to feel possible. While payment plans are typically offered to returning or established clients, I’m always open to conversation. If cost feels like a barrier, reach out. Let’s explore what might feel workable together.
-
You don’t have to live in Texas—but you do need to be physically located in Texas or Virginia during your intensive.
You also don’t have to come in person—virtual intensives are available if you’re located in either of those states.
If you’re near Round Rock, TX or open to traveling, you have the option of meeting in person on select weekends.
This is your invitation to come back home to yourself.
Let’s talk about what’s possible.
For Colleagues and Mental Health Providers
Partnering in Client Care
If you’re a therapist, coach, or care provider supporting a client who may benefit from focused, accelerated trauma work, I’d be honored to connect.
The Unburdening Intensive is designed to complement, not replace, ongoing therapy. With your client’s consent, I’m happy to collaborate with you throughout the process—so the work we do together strengthens and supports the work you’re already doing.
Clients walk away with a personalized integration plan, and (with permission) I provide a detailed summary of the intensive to help you both continue the momentum.
