Heal faster, live lighter: Rewire your brain’s response to trauma and find peace in the present.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a powerful, evidence based approach that I use to help women find rapid relief from the heavy weight of past trauma and persistent anxiety. I understand how exhausting it feels when your mind keeps replaying difficult memories, leaving you feeling stuck in a cycle of overwhelm.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy allows me to guide you through a gentle process of reprogramming how your brain stores stressful images and sensations. I am passionate about helping you move from a state of constant survival to a place of grounded empowerment and resilience.

A Path to Healing for the Motivated Mother

I know that as a woman and a mother, your time and emotional energy are precious. You may be juggling the demands of raising children while privately navigating the pain of betrayal trauma, an emotionally abusive marriage, or the life altering transition of divorce. You want to show up fully for your family, but the "black hole" of past wounds can make it feel impossible to stay present.

In my practice, I offer a safe and compassionate space where you do not have to walk this path alone. With 17 years of experience since receiving my masters, I have seen how transformative it is when women finally gain the tools to regulate their nervous systems and trust themselves again.

How ART WorkS

Unlike traditional talk therapy that can sometimes take years to process deep seated issues, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) often produces results in just a few sessions. This modality uses relaxing eye movements, similar to what happens during REM sleep, to help your brain "file away" traumatic memories so they no longer trigger a physical or emotional distress response.
  • Memory Reconsolidation: We work together to change the way your brain perceives a painful memory while keeping the facts of the story intact.
  • Nervous System Regulation: I weave Polyvagal Theory into our work to help you understand your body's stress responses and find a sense of safety.
  • Somatic Release: We address the physical tension and "stuck" feelings that trauma leaves behind in your body.
