Frequently Asked Questions
What is ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy)?
ART is a trauma-focused therapy that helps your brain reprocess difficult memories so they carry less emotional weight, without needing to talk through every detail out loud. Many patients notice real change in just a handful of sessions — often fewer than traditional talk therapy alone.
ART is very effective for treating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, and addiction-related triggers, among other conditions, and can benefit people of all ages.

What happens in my first appointment?
Your first appointment is a full 90 minutes. We’ll talk through what’s brought you in, your history, and what you’re hoping to get out of care. Together, we’ll decide what fits best — medication management, ART, other therapy, or a combination — based on what you actually want, not a one-size-fits-all plan.
Do you offer therapy, medication, or both?
Both. I’m a psychiatric nurse practitioner, so I can prescribe medication and provide therapy, including ART. Many patients do a mix of both, and that can shift over time as your needs change.
What if I don’t want to take medication?
That’s completely fine. I never push medication on anyone, and I’ll never judge you for hesitating or deciding it’s not right for you. We’ll talk through your options honestly, and you decide what you’re comfortable with.
Who do you work with?
Adults, couples, and children, with a particular focus on trauma, ADHD, and OCD.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes — a short call before booking, so you can ask questions and see if we’re a good fit before committing to a first appointment.
