From Inner Critic to Innate Confidence
EMDR+IFS Therapy for High Achievers & Perfectionists Still Driven by the Past
I Help You Repair the Impact of Your Past - So You Can Finally Move Forward
Personalized, Intensive Trauma Reprocessing Therapy in Farmington Hills and Troy, MIIn-Person EMDR, IFS & Brainspotting
Extended-length sessions designed to maximize your time, accelerate progress, and go deeper sooner.
We front-load the work — many clients start with 2–4 hours of session time each week for a month or two, then taper as intensity eases and lasting change begins.
What You Lived Through Still Shows Up — Even If You’ve “Moved On”
You might recognize yourself in one or more of these:
A childhood shaped by emotional neglect, control, or abuse
Unstable or manipulative relationships — early or ongoing
Chronic people-pleasing, overachievement, or emotional shutdown
Unexplained reactivity, shame, or burnout despite success
This is what complex trauma looks like — and it requires more than talk therapy.
I specialize in helping high achievers break through the overworked protective systems that block clarity, connection, and ease — using EMDR, IFS & Brainspotting to target the root, not just the symptoms.
This isn’t traditional therapy. Bottom-up methods like EMDR, IFS & Brainspotting don’t just talk about the past — they rewire how it lives in your nervous system.
This means we spend less time talking about what happened, and more time reprocessing what happened.
Based on your specific symptoms, history and goals, we will decide whether the extended sessions format or the intensive session format will be best for you.
Why Choose Intensives?
Efficient: Achieve more in 8 focused days than in years of weekly therapy.
Effective: Tailored for profound, lasting change.
Focused: Ideal for those tired of the limitations of traditional weekly sessions.
Why Choose Ongoing Extended Sessions?
For 'Beginners': If you've never been to therapy, or have only been sporadically; I will likely recommend we start with weekly or bi-weekly sessions.
For Those With Disconnection From Self & Others: If you have a hard time connecting with your feelings and your body, or if you've had a tendency to shut-down in your prior therapy efforts.
For Those Who Want to Move Efficiently, But More Slowly: Sessions typically occur for 2-3 hours, weekly, bi-weekly or once per month. These sessions allow you to take breaks between reprocessing sessions, while still allowing us the time in-session to make significant strides.
Are You Ready to Move Forward?
No matter where you are on your journey, we can tailor a plan that meets your needs.
Located conveniently in Farmington Hills or Troy, MI for in-person sessions, or therapy can be provided virtually to anyone in Michigan.
More About Intensives
If you've been dealing with and trying to heal from your trauma for a long time, you already know how redundant weekly therapy can become.
The trauma-dumping, the everyday chaos, the crises and little fires that arise and consume a whole month's worth of sessions three times a year...
All while you avoid the burning building behind you.
Not because you want to, but because weekly therapy just does not provide the proper framework for deep, targeted trauma work.
Intensives, which are planned sessions of 4-8 hours, do provide the space for deep, targeted trauma work.
If you're truly ready...We can do this.
We can spend 4 days together and do 6 months' worth of therapy.
