Brainspotting & EMDR Intensive Therapy in Burbank & Pasadena, CA & Throughout California

Trauma-Informed Intensives for ADHD, Autism, HSPs & Complex Trauma Recovery without burnout

Stop getting to the "good stuff" just as the timer dings. Traditional 50-minute therapy sessions can be helpful for maintenance and insight. However your deep trauma healing, nervous system repair, and neurodivergent burnout recovery journey often require more space and sustained momentum.

My Brainspotting and EMDR Intensive Therapy sessions are designed to help you move beyond overthinking and verbal processing. This allows your nervous system to finally release what has been stuck beneath the surface. Each targeted intensive focus on subcortical healing: the deeper brain and body systems where trauma, overwhelm, chronic stress, and masking patterns are often stored.

Whether you’re navigating Complex PTSD, ADHD overwhelm, autistic burnout, sensory sensitivity, dissociation, or high-functioning anxiety. Intensive therapy offers you a focused path toward relief without the exhaustion of marathon sessions

The "I’m Doing Great" Act

  • The Mask is Heavy: You’re exhausted from performing the role of “functional adult” in a world that feels too loud, too fast, and emotionally demanding. You hold it together externally while internally running on fumes.

  • The Pinball Brain: Your thoughts move nonstop, but nothing lands. Important tasks pile up while your nervous system stays braced for impact. You may look productive on the outside while internally feeling frozen, fragmented, or chronically overwhelmed.

  • Sensory Static: For neurodivergent adults and Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), daily life can feel like trying to hear a whisper while someone continuously tests a smoke alarm. Your nervous system rarely gets a true chance to settle.

Lets Be Real: You’re a high-definition soul forced to live in a low-resolution world that’s way too loud, unnecessarily bright, and designed by people who clearly find itchy sweater tags "refreshing."

Intensive Therapy Sessions

Intensives are high-impact therapy sessions lasting 90 minutes or longer that replace the “slow drip” approach with focused, intentional healing work. Rather than restarting every week, we build therapeutic momentum that supports faster access to regulation, emotional processing, and nervous system relief.

Using Brainspotting, EMDR-informed approaches, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed care, intensives help reduce emotional overwhelm while increasing clarity, connection, embodiment, and self-trust.

Is an Intensive right for you?

  • Creative Professionals & Deep Feelers: You need uninterrupted therapeutic momentum to work through creative blocks, emotional exhaustion, perfectionism, or chronic over-functioning that standard therapy sessions rarely reach.

  • The "Intellectualizer": You understand your trauma logically. You can explain your childhood, attachment patterns, or nervous system responses in detail yet your body still carries the sting. Intensive therapy helps move healing from insight into embodiment.

  • ADHD & Autistic Nervous Systems: You know your processing rhythms. You know when you’re locked in and when sensory overwhelm hits. This therapy model respects your pacing while reducing the risk of emotional flooding or post-session “vulnerability hangovers.”

  • Experienced Therapy Clients: You’ve already done years of talk therapy, but the tension, hypervigilance, shutdown, burnout, or emotional looping still lives in your body. Intensives help access the deeper layers where long-held patterns are stored.

Why Intensive Therapy Works for Neurodivergent Brains?

As a trauma-informed therapist working with ADHD, Autism, Highly Sensitive Persons (HSPs), and Complex Trauma, I understand that more therapy is not always better therapy.

Long marathon sessions can become emotionally and sensorily overwhelming, especially for neurodivergent nervous systems. My intensive model is intentionally structured to create depth without pushing you beyond your window of tolerance.

By working in focused, spacious sessions, we can:

  • Reduce masking and performance-based coping

  • Access deeper nervous system processing

  • Support sensory regulation and embodiment

  • Build therapeutic momentum without overwhelm

  • Create lasting shifts rather than temporary insight

This is not simply “extra therapy.” It is a dedicated therapeutic space designed to help your nervous system complete the healing work it has been trying to do for years.

  • Forget the 40-minute "warm-up." Extended sessions give you the runway to actually reach—and stay in—depth.

  • Ditch the "how was your week" filler. We maximize deep work by cutting out the administrative small talk.

  • Condense months of "slow-drip" therapy into high-impact blocks to get you feeling better, faster.
