Therapy Intensives
Therapy intensives for athletes and entrepreneurs who are high-functioning but not fine. For people who choke when it matters most, can't turn their brains off, or don't know who they are without performing.
You've tried weekly therapy. You understand your patterns. But you're still stuck, because insight without nervous system change doesn't create lasting results. Intensives offer concentrated time to work with what's underneath. Deep work, not surface management.
1, 2 and 3-day formats available in Raleigh and online.
Is traditional therapy just not cutting it anymore?
You’ve done the work. You’ve learned the skills.
But you're still stuck.
You understand your patterns, but you can't stop repeating them.
You don't have the time or patience for weekly therapy sessions that go nowhere.
Traditional therapy asks for small talk and slow progress. But when you're running at full capacity, you need depth, not repetition.
Intensives allow you to stay in the work long enough for real integration, without the fragmentation of starting and stopping every week.
You're seeking deeper, more concentrated work.
You've handled bigger crises than most people can imagine. What you want now isn't validation, it's actual change.
A place to work with what's underneath, not just identify it. To address why your body hijacks you under pressure, why rest doesn't help, why you don't know who you are without performing.
That's the difference between therapy that informs and therapy that transforms.
You’re in the right place.
Therapy intensives create in days what takes months in weekly therapy.
What is an intensive?
An intensive is multi-hour therapy over 1-3 days, designed to go deeper than weekly therapy allows.
Instead of 50-minute sessions stretched across months, we work together for a half-day or full two-day immersion. No starting and stopping. No catching up. Just sustained, focused work on what's actually keeping you stuck.
Intensives are structured, private, and results-driven. You leave with practical tools and a clearer internal map, not a list of things to keep fixing.
Available in person in Raleigh, or online across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
1
Pre-Intensive Assessment
We start with a collaborative assessment to identify your goals, clarify patterns, and map what you want to shift.
You'll leave this meeting with clear intentions and practical preparation, so you can enter the intensive already focused and grounded.
2
Intensive Session
This is where the real work happens. Over a 1,2 or 3-day immersion, we work deeply using Internal Family Systems (IFS) and nervous system regulation.
No stop-start rhythm. You stay with the process long enough for insight to become actual change, sustainable, embodied, and measurable.
3
Post-Intensive Follow-Up
Integration is as important as the work itself. We reconnect after your intensive to review insights, assess how shifts are unfolding, and refine your tools for continued momentum.
This ensures the clarity achieved inside the intensive extends naturally into your daily life and leadership.
What you get
Clarity on what's actually keeping you stuck.
A personalized plan and tools that work.
A private, grounded space for deep work.
Integration support so the changes stick.

Other intensive questions? I’ve got answers.
-
Weekly therapy is maintenance. Intensives are transformation.
In 50-minute sessions, you're catching up, winding down, and just starting to access something real before time's up. Old patterns reset between sessions.
Therapy intensives provide 1-3 days of concentrated sessions where your nervous system gets sustained attention to shift patterns, not just understand them.
If weekly therapy were going to create the change you need, it would have by now.
Best for: Athletes and entrepreneurs in Raleigh, Pinehurst, and North Carolina who are stuck despite months or years of weekly therapy.
-
Therapy intensives range from $2,350 to $5,050 depending on format and scheduling:
1-Day Intensive: $2,350 (weekday) / $2,850 (weekend)
2-Day Intensive: $3,250 (weekday) / $4,150 (weekend)
3-Day Intensive: $4,150 (weekday) / $5,050 (weekend)
All packages include pre-intensive assessment, personalized workbook, and post-intensive follow-up.
ROI comparison: 2-3 days of intensive work equals approximately 6 months of weekly therapy, without the fragmentation of starting and stopping every week.
-
Most intensive therapy formats are private pay. Insurance typically doesn't cover multi-day intensive sessions.
I can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement if your insurance plan allows it, but reimbursement isn't guaranteed.
Payment plans may be available, we'll discuss options during your consultation.
-
Therapy intensives work best for high-performing athletes and entrepreneurs who are successful but privately struggling.
You're a good fit if:
You've tried weekly therapy and you're still stuck
You experience performance anxiety (choking when it matters most)
You can't turn your brain off (founder burnout, overthinking)
You're navigating identity crisis (retirement, exit, transition)
Rest doesn't help, you're wired and tired
You value efficiency and need results
You're NOT a good fit if:
You're in active crisis or need stabilization
You're new to therapy (start with weekly sessions)
You're not ready to sit with discomfort
Serving: Raleigh, Pinehurst, and North Carolina (in-person + virtual across NC, SC, PA)
-
Integration is as important as the intensive itself.
Every package includes a 90-minute post-intensive follow-up where we:
Review insights and shifts
Refine tools for continued momentum
Address what's unfolding as you integrate the work
Your nervous system will continue processing for days and weeks after. The follow-up ensures changes stick, this isn't just "good luck, see you never."
Additional support sessions can be scheduled if needed.
-
Yes. I offer virtual therapy intensives across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania, as well as in-person intensives in Raleigh, NC.
Virtual intensives are just as effective as in-person. You'll need:
Private, quiet space
Stable internet connection
Device with camera and audio
We'll discuss what works best during your consultation.
-
I specialize in intensive therapy for:
Performance anxiety in athletes (choking under pressure, the yips, competition anxiety)
Founder burnout and entrepreneur stress (can't turn brain off, decision fatigue)
Identity crisis and transitions (retired athletes, exited founders, career changes)
High-functioning anxiety (successful but privately falling apart)
Nervous system dysregulation (wired and tired, rest doesn't restore)
This work addresses patterns at the nervous system level, not just symptom management or coping skills.
-
Yes, when you're ready for deep work and the right fit.
Therapy intensives create change in 1-3 days that would take 6+ months of weekly therapy. This happens because your nervous system gets sustained attention without the fragmentation of stopping and starting every week.
But they're not magic. You'll leave with clarity, tools, and a plan, but integration requires ongoing practice. Post-intensive follow-up is included to help changes stick.
What makes them effective:
IFS (Internal Family Systems) therapy
Nervous system regulation techniques
Concentrated time for actual rewiring (not just insight)
If you're looking for a quick fix, intensives won't work. If you're ready to address what's underneath, this is one of the most efficient formats available.
-
Start with a free consultation. We'll discuss:
Where you are
What you've already tried
Whether an intensive is the right fit
Not everyone is ready for intensive work and that's okay. If it's not right for you, I'll tell you.
If it is, we'll:
Choose your format (1, 2, or 3 days)
Schedule your intensive
Send you a preparation workbook
Locations: In-person in Raleigh, NC or virtual across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
-
After booking, you'll receive a personalized intensive workbook with assessments and preparation activities.
We'll also have a 90-minute pre-intensive session to:
Identify your goals
Map patterns you want to shift
Prepare mentally and physically for deep work
You don't need to "do" anything special before then. Just show up ready to go deeper than weekly therapy allows.
-
Intensives range from 1 to 3 days depending on the format:
1-Day Intensive: 8-hour program (6 face-to-face hours)
2-Day Intensive: 11-hour program (9 face-to-face hours)
3-Day Intensive: 14-hour program (12 face-to-face hours)
All formats include pre-intensive assessment and post-intensive follow-up.
We'll determine which format fits your goals, timeline, and depth of work during your consultation.
-
Therapy intensives are clinical, structured psychological work, not self-care retreats.
There's no yoga, journaling prompts, or "find yourself" activities. This is IFS therapy and nervous system regulation in a concentrated format.
You'll do deep work on patterns, trauma, and identity, not relaxation exercises.
You will leave with clarity and tools, but this isn't a vacation. It's focused therapy.
