From inner turmoil to calm, connected presence
An immersive IFS intensive for thoughtful, high-achieving men ready to accomplish in days what can take months in traditional therapy
IFS Intensives
If you care deeply about others and the world around you, you know the frustration of being misunderstood and the pain of recurring conflicts with the people who matter most. It's time to stop managing the symptoms and heal the root of the pattern.
This is your opportunity to transform your emotional attunement from a source of pain into your greatest strength.
Intensive openings are currently available for July 1st-17th. Weekend spots are limited.
The first step is your complimentary, no-obligation meet-and-greet call to see if this is the right path for you.
This intensive was designed for you if:
You're ready to accomplish in days what could otherwise take months. You're looking for a focused, immersive experience to finally move past a longstanding pattern, gain profound clarity, and make a significant leap forward in your healing journey.
You've achieved success in many areas of your life, and now you're ready to apply that same ambition and focused energy to your inner world. You see your personal growth not as a problem to be fixed, but as the next powerful chapter in your development - and you're ready to approach it with the same commitment you bring to everything you do.
your journey to transformation: how my IFS intensives are structured
Step #1: Your complimentary meet-and-greet call
This is where our work together begins. You’ll meet one-on-one with me for a complimentary 30-minute call. This is a no-pressure conversation for us to get to know each other and ensure an IFS intensive is the right path for you at this time. I’ll ask you a few questions to understand your goals, and you’ll have plenty of time to ask me questions, too. If we both feel it's a great fit, we’ll move forward with scheduling.
Step #2: Secure your spot and prepare for your intensive
Once we decide to move forward, we'll schedule your 60-minute intake appointment and your intensive days all at once. Because your intensive is a deeply personalized and custom-built experience, a significant amount of preparation goes into it before we even meet. To honor the time reserved exclusively for you, my cancellation policy is firm. This ensures that your time is protected and that the experience is fully tailored to your needs from the very beginning.
Step #3: Your in-depth intake appointment
This crucial 60-minute session is where we’ll dive deep into the 1-2 specific concerns you want to focus on. The insights from our conversation will become the blueprint for your custom-designed workbook. The workbook you’ll receive is a personalized tool created just for you, which you’ll use for reflection and integration during your intensive, ensuring the work we do together truly sticks.
Step #4: Your intensive days - the experience begins
When your intensive dates arrive, you'll be fully prepared to immerse yourself in the experience. Your total time commitment per day is 4 hours, structured to maximize both our therapeutic work and your personal integration time.
Here’s the rhythm of each day:
90 minutes of guided therapy
60 minutes of private, independent integration time (using your personalized workbook)
90 minutes of guided therapy
Choose your path to transformation
I offer two distinct intensive formats designed to meet you where you are.
Each is a powerful investment in your well-being.
-
The 2-day focused intensive
Ideal for creating a powerful shift around a single, specific challenge
This intensive is a condensed and potent experience designed to help you gain clarity and momentum in a short amount of time, making it a perfect starting point for deep, focused work.
Weekday intensive investment: starts at $2,700
Weekend intensive investment: starts at $3,200
-
The 3-day deep dive intensive
My recommended option for profound, lasting change for a complex issue or challenge
The additional day allows us to explore complex, interconnected patterns with greater depth. This immersive experience is for those ready to commit to foundational healing and integrate new ways of being more fully and completely.
Weekday intensive investment: starts at $3,900
Weekend intensive investment: starts at $4,400
How to secure your preferred dates
Intensives are available from Tuesday to Sunday. (If you select a weekend intensive, it will take place on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.)
My weekend spots on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays are my most sought-after and tend to fill up quickly. To ensure fairness for all my clients, these limited appointments are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
I highly recommend scheduling in advance to secure your ideal dates.

Frequently asked questions
Got questions? I’ve got answers.
-
Intensives are currently telehealth only, so we will meet online.
-
My standard work hours are Tuesdays and Wednesdays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Thursdays from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. As such, my weekday intensive days are Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
Weekend intensives days are on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. Generally, Friday hours are 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. If you need Friday morning availability, please let me know - if planned in advance, I may be able to accommodate your request.
Again, please note that weekend intensive spots are limited and available on a first come first serve basis, so if you’re interested, please reach out sooner rather than later to secure your spot!
-
Due to the concentrated amount of time, the amount of preparation I take, and the level of customization provided in each 2-day or 3-day experience, my hourly rate starts at $300 an hour for intensives. The total cost of an intensive includes the 60-minute intake appointment, your actual intensive hours (either for the 2-day or 3-day option), and whether your intensive is during the week or the weekend.
-
That's an excellent question. I understand that taking time away from work, family, and other weekday commitments can be a significant challenge.
To better serve clients who need that flexibility, I have dedicated a very limited number of intensive spots on Fridays and Saturdays. The difference in investment reflects the high-demand, protected nature of this weekend time, allowing you to immerse yourself in this deep, transformative work without disrupting your professional schedule.
-
Great question! People who are a great fit for my IFS intensives are folks who:
Already have some language to describe their thoughts, emotions, and or body sensations while processing “heavy stuff”
Have 1-2 specific concerns they know they want to address through an intensive
Have a reliable, solid support system
Are willing (and wanting!) to dedicate 4 hours for two or three consecutive days for their growth and healing
Folks who aren’t a good fit for IFS intensives are:
Currently or recently in crisis
Currently or recently in active substance use
Recently experienced a major loss
Have multiple, numerous concerns they want to address in a short amount of time
Uninterested in meditation, visualizations, and/or naming+noticing emotions, thoughts, and body sensations
-
If it seems like you’d be a great fit for an IFS intensive, we’ll go ahead and schedule your 90-minute intake appointment and your intensive days. (The 90-minute intake appointment happens one week before your 2-day or 3-day intensive.)
Since intensives require more of my time and clinical attention, I charge a $400 deposit that is due at the time of your intake appointment. This deposit is put towards the total cost of your selected intensive.
-
This is an important and common question. Because therapy intensives are a specialized service designed to condense months of progress into a short, focused timeframe, they operate outside the standard model that insurance companies typically cover.
Therefore, the intensive is structured as a direct, private-pay investment in your long-term well-being.
-
Yes, but you must be in the state of Oregon during our intensive sessions, as I’m legally and ethically required to provide intensives for those who are in state lines.
Intensives can be a great opportunity to take a few days to yourself and travel into Oregon. If you choose to stay in Portland, I’m happy to provide suggestions for hotels, restaurants, food carts, bookstores, and other sights. (I don’t receive any financial incentives for any recommendations I provide - I just personally love our many local businesses and think visitors may enjoy some of them too!)
If you’re unable to be in Oregon for an intensive, I’m happy to provide referrals, to the best of my ability, for providers in the state where you currently are.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate”, which explains how much your care will cost. This document is required to be provided to you when you aren’t using health insurance, or when you don’t have insurance, to pay for medical or mental health services. You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total estimated cost of any non-emergency services.
