Guiding you to your true self

My therapeutic approach is based on building a safe space where my clients feel a sense of security, acceptance, and comfort that empowers them to open up and facilitate healing and change. I believe that when people feel empowered and in control of their thoughts and emotions, they become able to overcome any challenge they face.

About

Trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy

What is ART? Accelerated Resolution Therapy, often referred to as ART, is a form of psychotherapy with roots in existing evidence-based therapies but shown to achieve benefits much more rapidly (usually within 1-5 sessions). Clients suffering from trauma and other mental health problems such as: Anxiety Depression Phobias Panic Attacks Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) Addictions/ Substance Abuse Performance Anxiety Family Issues Victimization/Poor Self Image Victimization/Sexual Abuse Relationship Issues/Infidelity Codependency Grief Job-Related Stress Pain Management Memory Enhancement Dyslexia and many other mental and physical conditions can experience remarkable benefits starting in the first session. The client is always in control of the entire ART session, with the therapist guiding the process. Although some traumatic experiences such as rape, combat experiences, or loss of a loved one can be very painful to think about or visualize, the therapy rapidly moves clients beyond the place where they are stuck in these experiences toward growth and positive changes. The process is very straightforward, using relaxing eye movements and a technique called Voluntary Memory/Image Replacement to change the way in which the negative images are stored in the brain. The treatment is grounded in well-established psychotherapy techniques, and the end result is that traumas and difficult life experiences will no longer trigger strong emotions or physical reactions. Importantly, clients do not even have to talk about their traumas or difficult life experiences with the therapist to achieve recovery. Source: https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/what-is-art/
