When life feels too heavy to hold alone, there’s another way through.

EMDR Therapy Intensives meet you at the root—so you can stop circling the pain and start feeling something shift.

What parts of your story haven’t had the space to be fully felt yet?

It could be something that happened years ago but still lives in your body.

Something new that caught you off guard.

Or just a quiet knowing, something inside is asking for your attention…

You might be carrying grief, trauma, fear, or the sense that things just haven’t been right for a long time.

You might be facing a big moment: the loss of a parent, a move, starting a family, speaking in front of a crowd.

Or you might not have the words for it yet—just a sense that something needs to shift.

This work is for that.

Over the course of one, two, or three days, we’ll stay with what’s rising—gently, steadily—so you don’t have to keep holding it all by yourself.

Whether you’ve done therapy before or this is your first time reaching out-
you are welcome here.

Why an EMDR Intensive?

An Intensive might be for you if:

  • You’re ready to do deep, meaningful work that can create lasting change

  • You’ve experienced something painful that still feels alive in your body or mind

  • You’ve done EMDR before and want to return to it in a more focused way

  • You’re approaching a big life transition—parenthood, a move, a wedding, a medical procedure—and want to feel emotionally prepared

  • You’re already in therapy, but feel stuck and sense that more time could help you move forward

This kind of care can be especially helpful for adults healing from childhood pain or sexual trauma, survivors of religious or spiritual abuse, and those living with chronic illness or navigating medical trauma. It’s also a supportive fit for neurodivergent or highly sensitive people who need more space to process and regulate, as well as anyone feeling overwhelmed and unsure where to start—but ready for support.

What to Expect From This Work

This isn’t just more time in therapy, it’s a different experience altogether.

We’ll start by getting grounded in your story and your goals. From there, we’ll move into a few dedicated days of focused, uninterrupted work. Each session is built around your specific needs, using tools like EMDR, resourcing strategies, and creative methods to help us gently access and process what’s been held in the body or beneath the surface.

Throughout our time together, we’ll focus on two things:

  • easing the pain of what’s been hard or overwhelming,

  • and helping the good—your strength, your clarity, your capacity—settle more fully into your system.

We close the process with space to reflect, integrate, and begin to carry your work forward.

This kind of care doesn’t rush or bypass. It meets you where you are, and stays with you through what unfolds.

Your EMDR Intensive Includes:

Pre-Intensive Interview

To set goals of the EMDR Intensive and prepare for our work together, we’ll gently name the memories, beliefs, emotions, or images that still feel heavy in this 90-minute session, so we can begin the work of finding relief.

Customized Sessions

Sessions are held virtually or in my Portland office. We’ll meet for 1 to 3 days in focused, supportive work. Every session is thoughtfully tailored to your needs, blending targeted EMDR treatment with resourcing practices that help you feel grounded and cared for.

Treatment Workbook

Your workbook offers gentle guidance and reflection as you prepare for our time together. It’s a space to track your insights, notice your progress, and stay connected to your healing—before, during, and after the Intensive.

Post-Intensive Interview

We’ll close with a 90-minute session to gently process what came up, name what felt meaningful, and explore how you want to carry that growth forward. It’s a space to honor your work and consider what continued support might look like.

If this offering speaks to you, if something in you is saying, “I think I’m ready,” I’d be honored to support you. This work is deep, but you don’t have to do it alone.

You can reach out anytime to explore whether an EMDR Intensive is the right next step for you.

Hi, I’m Cerina (she/her).

I’m a therapist, a mom, a friend, and someone who deeply believes in the healing power of being truly seen.

I’ve spent the last 12+ years walking alongside women as they navigate trauma, identity shifts, relationships, and the moments that ask us to grow in ways we didn’t expect. My approach blends EMDR, IFS, sand tray, and other tools—but more than anything, it’s rooted in connection, compassion, and curiosity.

I’m down-to-earth and hands-on. I care about what’s happening in your life right now, and I also care about where you’re trying to go. Whether we’re working through something painful or preparing for something new, I’ll meet you there with warmth, structure, and support.

I work with clients both virtually and in my cozy Portland office, And I’m here when you’re ready.
