Great to meet you!

I have been providing therapy for more than 25 years and am a certified Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) practitioner. ART sessions are designed to complement—not replace—your ongoing therapy and serve as a focused, short-term intervention.

ART is a brief, drug-free, non-hypnosis therapy that helps adults address trauma, phobias, panic attacks, and other mental health challenges. The goal is to reduce or eliminate the emotional distress associated with difficult memories while preserving the factual memory itself. Most clients complete the process within 3–5 sessions and then return to their regular therapist for ongoing care.

I am committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and discover their inner strength.

My approach to therapy

My approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and deep respect for each person’s unique experiences and journey toward healing.

What you can expect from me

The intake session is primarily focused on gathering background information, including demographics, personal history, and treatment goals. The therapeutic work typically begins during the second session. At that time, I will introduce you to Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), explain the process, and provide an overview of what to expect during the upcoming sessions.
