Threshold Intensive
A 3 day depth immersion for people navigating real transition — for those who are stable and resourced, but find weekly sessions too slow for what's moving.
There is a particular kind of emergent inner material that needs a depth of tending that the therapeutic hour does not allow for.
A life that has already begun changing shape, where the person knows something is shifting and even has language for it, but the container they're in (fifty minutes, once a week, perpetually catching up to where they already are) isn't matched to the size of what's moving.
Peter Levine talks about titration — the slow, careful pacing of nervous system work so the system isn't overwhelmed. That principle holds. But titration describes the rate of work, not the frequency. There's a difference between needing to go slowly and needing to go weekly. Some material doesn't need more time between sessions. It needs less.
Jung wrote about the liminal — the threshold state where the old form has loosened its grip but the new one hasn't yet solidified. Liminal time is notoriously hard to sustain in ordinary life. It wants a vessel. A bounded, protected span of time where the psyche is given permission to do what it's already trying to do, without the interruption of seven days of ordinary demands between each layer.
This summer, I'm opening a small number of multi-day intensives for people in exactly this place: stable, resourced, not in crisis, but standing at a threshold that weekly sessions don’t fully meet. Career pivots. Relational ruptures that have changed how you see yourself. Burgeoning creative desire. The slow-burn identity shifts that don't have a single triggering event but have nonetheless rearranged the furniture of a life.
The work draws on Somatic Experiencing — tracking the nervous system's own intelligence, working with what the body already knows about safety and threat — alongside a depth-psychological frame: what wants to individuate here, what's asking to be metabolized rather than managed.
These aren't trauma-processing marathons. They're concentrated time for material that's already conscious, already active, already asking for room to move. A full day's work has a different texture than six fifty-minute hours spread across six weeks — less re-entry, less catching the system back up to where it left off, more continuity to actually finish a thought the body is having.
If this resonates, more details are below, or you can reach out directly.
Who this is for:
You're not in crisis — you're in transition. Career pivot, relational rupture, identity shift, a passage you can feel but haven't fully named.
You have some history with therapy or self-reflective work already; you're not starting from zero.
You want concentrated time rather than the slow accumulation of weekly sessions.
You have spaciousness over the summer to explore what may have accumulated over the span of the year.
You're able to be without your usual external supports for the days of the intensive, and you have continuity of care lined up afterward (your own therapist, or a referral I provide).
What it includes:
A pre-intensive intake call to clarify focus and confirm fit
3 days of sessions (2.5 hours of direct contact per day), in-person or virtual depending on your situation
Somatic Experiencing-based nervous system work, integrated with depth-psychological exploration of what's asking to shift
A dedicated integration session on the final day, with concrete next steps and a continuation-of-care plan
A written summary of themes and resourcing practices to carry forward
What it does not replace:
This is not crisis intervention, ongoing weekly therapy, or psychiatric care. It's a concentrated container for people who already have — or will have, by the end of our work together — a plan for ongoing support.

Deep Tide Intensives:
Monthly Cycle-Synced Depth and Somatic Healing Intensives
The Wisdom of Your Cycle
Your menstrual cycle is not merely a biological function but a profound cyclical journey through different states of consciousness and embodied wisdom. During the luteal and menstrual phases, the veil between conscious and unconscious realms thins, offering unique opportunities for deeper psychological work and somatic integration.
This program honors these natural rhythms, providing specialized support during the phases when your inner wisdom speaks most clearly, yet may feel most challenging to navigate in our achievement-oriented world.
The Depth Psychology Perspective
From a depth psychological framework, the menstrual cycle mirrors the archetypal journey of descent and return. The luteal and menstrual phases represent a time of:
Deepened connection to the unconscious - Dreams become more vivid and revealing
Heightened intuitive capacities - Inner knowing becomes more accessible
Natural withdrawal from external demands - An invitation to turn inward
Archetypal activation of the Dark Feminine - Encountering shadow aspects with transformative potential
Dissolution of ego defenses - Greater access to authentic emotional states
Rather than pathologizing premenstrual experiences, this approach recognizes them as gateways to psychological integration and deeper self-knowledge.
The Nervous System Perspective
Your body holds profound wisdom that speaks more loudly during these cyclical shifts. During luteal and menstrual phases, you may experience:
Heightened sensory awareness - Greater sensitivity to your environment
Nervous system fluctuations - More noticeable patterns of activation and settlement
Energetic boundaries becoming more apparent - Clearer signals about your needs and limits
Increased awareness of stored emotions - The body revealing what needs attention
Natural invitation to slow down - The wisdom of rest and receptivity
These experiences are not symptoms to be managed but meaningful communications from your body's intelligence.
