EMDR, Intensives & Specialized Therapy
Beyond weekly sessions, these specialties offer a more targeted path for trauma, faith-integrated care, and deeper healing.
EMDR Therapy
EMDR can help you process painful experiences, trauma, triggers, and negative beliefs so the past does not have to keep controlling how you feel in the present.
EMDR may be a fit if you’re navigating:
- Trauma or painful experiences
- Triggers, anxiety, or strong reactions
- Low self-worth or negative thoughts about yourself
- Relationship patterns that keep repeating
- Feeling stuck and ready for change

EMDR Individual Intensives
Samuel came to therapy feeling weighed down. His marriage was struggling, he felt numb and disconnected, and he carried a deep sense of shame he couldn’t fully explain. On the outside, he was dependable — successful in a demanding job, always showing up for others. But inside, he felt stuck, emotionally drained, and unsure how much longer he could keep pushing through.
Because of his full schedule, weekly therapy didn’t feel realistic — or fast enough. That’s where EMDR Intensives made the difference.
EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based therapy for trauma and emotional overwhelm. With EMDR intensives, we condense the work into focused 3-hour sessions over several visits, allowing you to go deeper without the start-and-stop of weekly therapy.
This format is ideal for busy professionals, caregivers, or anyone seeking efficient, effective results with the time and space to fully focus on healing.
In Samuel’s intensive, we focused on:
- Identifying the root memories fueling his shame and self-criticism
- Processing painful experiences tied to responsibility, performance, and emotional neglect
- Releasing the internalized pressure to always “hold it all together”
- Reconnecting with his core sense of worth, beyond his roles or achievements
By the end of our work together, Samuel wasn’t just feeling better — he was different. He showed up more present in his marriage, more confident in his choices, and no longer ruled by shame.

At Oriyah, we understand that couples often come to therapy after years of hurt, disconnection, and communication patterns that have left them feeling stuck.

Christian Counseling
I take a faith-based approach to counseling, rooted in my Christian faith and guided by the example of Jesus, who welcomed and cared for every person in need. Faith is not simply an added resource—it is the foundation of how I understand healing, growth, and human dignity.
Oriyah embodies this vision, symbolizing divine light, guidance, and wisdom. It speaks to the way God’s love brings clarity, hope, and renewal into the places where we struggle most.
My journey with faith: through my own journey, I have experienced firsthand how leaning on God can provide guidance, strength, and peace in the midst of life’s challenges. There was a time when I struggled with feeling uncertain about my purpose and overwhelmed by life’s demands. Turning to prayer, Scripture, and the support of my faith community helped me gain clarity, feel grounded, and recognize my inherent worth.
Working with clients of faith: I work with individuals and couples who practice a faith and desire to integrate it into their healing process. That said, having a faith—or where you are in your faith journey—does not disqualify you from seeking counseling with me. I meet clients exactly where they are, without judgment or shame, honoring your unique path.

EMDR R-TEP & G-TEP for Individuals and Groups
In the first 90 days after a traumatic event, timely support can make a powerful difference. Whether you’re an individual still feeling the emotional impact of a recent incident, or a group affected by a shared experience, structured trauma therapy can help.
Using R-TEP (Recent Traumatic Episode Protocol) for individuals and G-TEP (Group Traumatic Episode Protocol) for families, teams, or communities, I offer early intervention approaches designed to reduce distress, restore a sense of safety, and support healthy emotional processing. These methods are evidence-based, gentle, and effective—ideal for those in the critical window following trauma.
Individual Support — R-TEP EMDR
Victoria came to therapy after being unexpectedly bitten by a neighbor’s dog. The physical wound healed, but she found herself startled by sudden noises, hesitant to walk outside, and flooded with anxiety whenever she passed the scene. Through R-TEP EMDR, we were able to safely process the trauma. Victoria found her footing again—regaining a sense of calm and confidence in her daily life.
Group Support — G-TEP EMDR
The Porter family experienced a traumatic event that left them shaken and unsure how to move forward as a unit. Each family member had their own reaction—some withdrawn, others hypervigilant or emotionally reactive. Through G-TEP, I guided the family in processing their individual experiences while supporting one another in a shared healing space.
G-TEP can support workplaces, community groups, and organizations following difficult events such as violence, natural disasters, or shared grief. This accessible, trauma-informed approach provides early intervention trauma support that promotes resilience and recovery for groups of any size.
Interested in bringing G-TEP to your organization? Book a consultation to discuss group rates. We can travel to your location or help coordinate a space that accommodates your group size.
