With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, my clients can reduce PTSD related symptoms and feel empowered again. I simply love helping people recover from trauma, whether it was caused by a divorce, car accident, hurricane, sexual assault, or the everyday events of life.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is an amazing, evidence based approach that utilizes bilateral eye stimulation and voluntary image replacement. Clients find it to be empowering and fast acting. Relief from symptoms is typically found within the first session. You can learn more about ART at https://acceleratedresolutiontherapy.com/what-is-art/.

Clinical Experience

In 2008, I began providing therapy with the Sexual Assault Victim Examination (SAVE) Program as a crisis counselor. As the Rape Crisis Advocate for Pinellas County, I did therapy in jail, hospitals, libraries, schools, parks, and everywhere in between. I have experience with families and children as a counselor and supervisor with Adoption Related Services, working extensively with families in the child protection system.

For ten years, I facilitated group and individual therapy at a local shelter for women as well as a local shelter for men. This is a safe place where they recover from addiction and homelessness while rebuilding their lives. The problem is that once they got sober, they remembered why they started drinking in the first place. I help them address the underlying reasons for the addiction to ensure a more long lasting, meaningful recovery. I have also worked in partnership with the International Association of Human Trafficking Investigators with the goal of identifying, treating and preventing human trafficking. This extensive experience is a testament to my commitment and competence in this field.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy is a significant part of my practice and I use it whenever appropriate. I firmly believe in the power of this evidence based approach and I am dedicated to ensuring that my clients receive the most effective and sustainable treatment for their needs. I also utilize mindfulness and meditation based approaches.
