You Feel Tired In A Way That Rest Doesn't Fix
The Untangling Intensive:
a focused therapy intensive for autistic and AuDHD women, online across Louisiana, Florida, and Virginia, and in person in Baton Rouge.
Maybe you recently realized you're autistic or AuDHD, or you're starting to suspect it, and suddenly your whole life is asking to be re-read. Maybe you're coming out of a relationship that left you doubting your own memory. Maybe you can't tell anymore what was abuse, what was masking, and what was just you all along.
The Untangling Intensive is a focused half-day to sort it out, together, without spending the next year doing it one slow hour at a time.
Why A Half-Day, When You’re Already This Tired?
Here's the part most therapists don’t say out loud: weekly sessions aren’t the best kind of work for everybody. The scheduling, the bracing, the masking you do even in the room, the hours afterward you might spend processing your session, all while having to jump right back into traffic, work, or childcare. For a nervous system that's already depleted, that weekly rhythm can become one more thing that’s draining you.
An intensive works differently. We do focused, meaningful work in one contained block, with far fewer of those weekly touch points to manage. It’s not about pushing through or going faster than you can handle. It’s about doing deeper work once, well, and in a setting built around your nervous system instead of against it. You can do your intensive from the comfort of your home anywhere in Louisiana, Florida, or Virginia, or in person in Baton Rouge Mid City.
How It's Built to Protect Your Nervous System
This is not a marathon of talking. The day is designed to be doable:
You know the plan before you arrive. No surprises, no being put on the spot. We’ll map the day together first.
Breaks are built in, not earned. We pace it to you.
You set the sensory terms. Lighting, camera on or off, movement, stimming, quiet, snacks. Your comfort is just as important as the work we do.
You lead the intensity. Nothing gets forced open. We’ll go where you're ready to go.
We can use ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), a gentle, structured approach that helps you process hard memories using eye movements and imagery, without having to retell every detail out loud. For a lot of people that makes the work feel lighter than they expected.
What A Day Can Look Like
Before the day, we meet for a pre-intensive interview ( 75-min. for new clients adn 45-min. for current clients) so I understand your history, your goals, and what your nervous system needs. From that, I build you a personalized workbook that guides our time together. You complete the workbook at least 48-hours before your intensive session. Every intensive is built for the one person in it, so the day itself is an example, not a fixed script:
We will ground, get comfortable, and set what you most want to feel different by the end of the day.
We will untangle the threads, naming what was abuse, what was masking, and what was always just you, so they stop blurring together.
We will do focused processing on the moments carrying the most weight, at your pace, often using ART.
We will talk about what recovery actually asks of your nervous system, and what's yours to carry forward and what never was.
A few days later (or the following week), we meet again for a 45-min. post-intensive interview to help you integrate the work, so you're not just dropped back into your week.
Who These Intensives Are For
Women who are late-diagnosed, recently realizing, or quietly suspecting they're autistic or AuDHD
Women sorting out an emotionally or narcissistically abusive relationship, past or recent
Women who are exhausted by masking and want focused help, not an endless weekly commitment
You do not need a formal diagnosis to start. Many women figure this part out through the work, not before it.
A Few Honest Notes On Fit
I want this to actually help you, which means it isn't right for everyone.
I don't provide autism or ADHD testing or evaluations. This is recovery and integration work, not an assessment. If a formal evaluation is what you're looking for, I'm happy to point you toward resources, but that isn't what happens during the intensive.
An intensive isn't the right tool if you're in active crisis, or if you're currently in a relationship where you're being physically harmed. Ongoing, steady support is safer and better for that, and I'm happy to help you find it.
We'll make sure it's a good fit on a short consult before you ever book. No pressure either way.
The Investment
The Untangling Intensive is $1,350. It's one flat package, so everything is included:
the pre-intensive interview (75-min. for new clients and 45-min. for current clients) where we plan the day around you
the personalized workbook built for you
the half-day intensive session
and the 45-min. post-intensive follow-up to help it settle.
Pricing it as a whole, rather than by the hour, is intentional because what you're investing in is the full personalized experience, not just the time.
It's private pay, and you'll have a Good Faith Estimate up front so the cost is clear before you ever commit.

Questions Women Ask Before Booking
-
It's built so it isn't. We pace to you, breaks are part of the design, and you set the sensory terms. The day is long enough to do real work and structured so it doesn't run you into the ground. We also talk through what you need on the consult first.
-
Yes. You do not need a diagnosis to start, and I don't diagnose, so nothing here hinges on a label. Plenty of women come while still figuring that part out.
-
Accelerated Resolution Therapy Is a brief, structured approach that helps you process painful memories using guided eye movements and imagery, without having to retell every detail. I'm trained in ART and use it when it fits. It's often much gentler than people expect.
-
For focused work on specific things that have been weighing on you, a contained intensive can move more than people expect. It isn't a replacement for all support forever, but it can create real relief and momentum. We'll talk on the consult about whether it fits what you're carrying.
-
Online for clients in Louisiana, Florida, and Virginia, which many people prefer because they get to do the day in their own space. In-person is available in my Mid City office in Baton Rouge.

More than the day itself. You get a pre-intensive interview (75-min. for new clients and 45-min. for current clients) where we plan everything around you, a personalized workbook built for you, the half-day intensive, and a 45-min. post-intensive interview afterward to help it all settle. It's a full experience, start to finish, not just the hours we're in session.
