Create focused space to slow down, go deeper, and make meaningful progress toward the goals and changes that matter most to you.
An intensive is a focused, extended period of time dedicated to making meaningful progress toward a specific goal. Instead of weekly or biweekly 50-minute therapy or coaching sessions, an intensive offers 1, 2, or 3 days of focused work, creating the space to slow down, go deeper, and make progress with greater intention.
You have a sense of what you want to work toward. I bring the clinical and coaching tools, experience, and perspective to help you get there. A curated intensive is designed specifically around you, your goals, and the kind of support that will best serve you.
Every curated intensive is different. You may have just received a major promotion and are wondering what kind of leader you want to be. You may be tired of finding yourself in the same relationship patterns and are ready to explore the beliefs underneath them—and begin building something different. You may be living with the effects of trauma that are limiting the life you want to live.
Your intensive may be clinical or coaching-based, depending on your goals and what we determine together would be most appropriate. We’ll identify what you want to accomplish and create a structure that gives you the time, space, and focused attention to do that work.
That might mean one, two, or three full days. It might mean four half-days spread across several weeks. Or it might take another shape entirely. The point isn’t to fit your work into a predetermined package—it’s to create the container that makes the most sense for you.
If you have something specific you want to work on and are wondering whether an intensive could be the right container, we can explore that together.
Curated intensives range from $1,800–$5,200, depending on the length and structure of the intensive. As a general guide:
Once we have a clear sense of your goals and the kind of container that would best support them, I’ll provide a specific investment for your intensive.
If you’re great at showing up for others and ghosting yourself, this is for you.
People-pleasing can look like being endlessly accommodating, taking the temperature of everyone around you, anticipating what others need, and having a hard time knowing what you need until everyone else is okay.
It can feel less like a choice and more like a reflex. You may have learned somewhere along the way that keeping other people comfortable was connected to being safe, loved, accepted, or connected. And if those patterns once helped you navigate your relationships or environment, it makes sense that they stuck around.

But when the circumstances change and the pattern remains, what once helped you adapt can start to keep you stuck.
When your sense of self, safety, or connection depends on shapeshifting, self-abandonment, and taking responsibility for other people’s feelings, the cost can be high: resentment, exhaustion, disconnection from yourself, and the persistent question of what do I actually want?
In this 2-day intensive, we’ll slow down enough to see the patterns clearly. We’ll identify the beliefs underneath them, explore what those patterns have been trying to accomplish for you, and develop and practice new beliefs and behaviors that are more aligned with who you are and how you want to live.
The goal isn’t to stop caring about other people. It’s to build a relationship with yourself that doesn’t require you to disappear in order to maintain connection with everyone else.
Investment: $3,500
Both clinical and coaching intensives can create meaningful opportunities for growth, but they serve different purposes and use different approaches. Together, we’ll determine which type of intensive is the right fit for your goals.
A clinical intensive is like psychotherapy delivered in a concentrated format. We might focus on symptoms or patterns related to a mental health concern, building stability, working through places where you feel stuck, or processing experiences that continue to affect you. This might include trauma healing, anxiety, or other therapeutic goals.
Clinical work may involve looking at your history and early experiences to understand how patterns developed, while also focusing on what you want to change in your life now.
I am licensed to provide clinical services in Maryland, so you must be physically located in Maryland at the time of a clinical intensive.
A coaching intensive is focused on specific personal or professional goals and translating insight into aligned action. We might clarify your values and goals, identify what is getting in the way, and create a concrete plan for moving forward—with accountability built into the process.
Coaching tends to be more present- and future-focused, with an emphasis on choices, behaviors, and real-world application. Coaching is not a licensed mental health service and does not involve diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions.
Because coaching is not limited by my Maryland clinical license, you can participate from anywhere in the world, subject to any applicable local requirements.
Many people choose to treat an intensive as a personal retreat: creating dedicated time and space for the work by staying somewhere restorative and building in opportunities for rest, movement, good food, massage, or other forms of care.
For a virtual intensive, you might spend your days beside a beautiful lake, tucked away in a favorite hotel, or simply creating a quiet space at home. The setting is up to you. The intention is to create enough space around the intensive that you can be fully present for the work.
If you are interested in clinical work but do not live in Maryland, you are welcome to travel to Maryland for your intensive. Because clinical services are governed by the state in which you are physically located at the time of treatment, you would need to be physically present in Maryland for the duration of a clinical intensive.
An intensive begins before we ever meet. Each experience includes a pre-intensive interview and personalized workbook to help us clarify your goals and prepare for our time together. During the intensive, you’ll have a thoughtfully structured container for focused work, with personal touches woven throughout. And after the intensive, we’ll have a post-intensive check-in to reflect on what you’ve uncovered, what you want to carry forward, and how you’ll continue the work. If you think an intensive might be right for you, book a consult and we can discuss further.
An effective intensive begins before Day 1. Before we meet, we’ll have a pre-intensive meeting and I’ll provide you with a personalized workbook to help you clarify your goals and prepare for our time together.
The schedule below is an example of what a two-day clinical intensive might look like. Your actual intensive will be shaped around your goals, needs, and what emerges as we work together. We’ll build in time for rest, reflection, and integration throughout the experience rather than treating them as interruptions to the work.
This is a sample, not a script.
The purpose of an intensive is focused work – not getting through a predetermined agenda. The schedule will flex based on your goals, your capacity, and what emerges during our time together.
Day 1: Mapping Resources & Establishing Targets
9:00–12:00
12:00–1:30 — Lunch & Integration
1:30–4:30
Day 2: Deeper Processing & Integration
9:00–12:00
12:00–1:30 — Lunch & Integration
1:30–4:30
1–4 weeks later — Post-Intensive Check-In
We’ll reconnect to reflect on what has shifted, what you’re continuing to notice, and what support would be useful as you integrate the work into your everyday life.
