INDIVIDUALIZED THERAPY INTENSIVES
Four days, fully present
Some work needs more room than a weekly session allows. Not because weekly therapy isn't valuable, but because some things only emerge when there's enough time to stay with them. An intensive creates that time. A few days on Mount Desert Island, doing concentrated psychological work at a pace the work itself sets.
Who finds their way here
The people who come for intensives have usually done meaningful therapy work before and are ready to go further. They may be navigating a significant transition, a recurring pattern they haven't been able to shift, or a chapter of their history they've never fully examined.
Sometimes the timing is practical: geography or schedule makes weekly therapy difficult, and a concentrated period of work makes more sense. Sometimes it's about readiness. Something has opened up, and this feels like the moment. Each intensive is shaped around your particular history, goals, and what you're bringing.
A thoughtful screening process helps ensure the format and timing are right for you.
How I work
We meet over four days at my office in Seal Harbor, on the eastern shore of Mount Desert Island. The sessions are long and unhurried. The time between them is yours to walk the carriage roads, sit by the water, write, or simply let things settle. The pace and setting of the island is part of what makes this format work as well as it does.
The work is grounded in relational and attachment-based psychotherapy. We begin with your early history, the patterns that formed there, and how they have shaped the way you experience yourself and your relationships. We move through your life narrative, integrating early understanding into present struggles and turning points. We close with integration by consolidating what has emerged and creating a clear sense of how the work continues from here.
Before you arrive, you'll complete a detailed personal history and preparation materials that give us a shared foundation before we begin. After the intensive you receive a written formulation, a document summarizing the work and offering a clinical understanding of your patterns and history to return to over time.
If something here is resonating and you'd like to learn more about the format, structure, and process, the detail page has everything you need.
