Welcome
Life can be overwhelming, and having someone to walk alongside you during challenging times can make all the difference. At Shine, I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore both present struggles and unresolved experiences from the past.
I specialize in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)—a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps clients experience noticeable relief from anxiety, trauma, and other emotional challenges in as few as 1 to 5 sessions per issue. Many clients find that ART helps them move forward more quickly and with fewer therapy sessions overall.
In addition to ART, I offer traditional talk therapy for those navigating life transitions, mood disorders, relationship challenges, and women’s issues such as pregnancy, postpartum mental health, and the complexities of motherhood. No matter the path we take, therapy is always tailored to your needs, preferences, and goals.
​
Starting therapy takes courage, and I commend you for taking this first step. Feeling comfortable and safe in our work together is essential, and if it turns out that I’m not the best fit for your needs, I’m happy to refer you to trusted colleagues in the community.

The Therapeutic Process
Therapy is a journey—and while it can be challenging, it can also be deeply transformative. My approach is collaborative and individualized, drawing from evidence-based and relational methods, including Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Narrative Therapy, Attachment Theory, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a Family Systems lens.
​
Together, we’ll establish clear goals and tailor each session to support your unique needs. Whether you're working through past trauma, navigating relationship dynamics, or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I provide a safe and structured space to foster insight, healing, and lasting change.
