Perfectionism thrives on fear of mistakes. Exposure practices help by giving you safe, intentional ways to practice imperfection—so your brain learns you can handle it.

Think of it as tiny experiments in freedom. The more you practice, the less power perfectionism holds. 💙

👉 Save this for when perfectionism starts creeping in.

Is Your Trauma Therapy Speaking the Right Language?
If your trauma therapy only engages the rational side of your brain, it may be missing the mark—and that could be why progress feels slow or painful.

The science is clear:
Trauma lives in the body, not just the mind.
The areas of the brain impacted by trauma are preverbal—they don’t respond to talk alone.
Survivors are often in a state of chronic distress, hypervigilance, or dissociation.

So what should therapy really do?

🗣️ Speak to the brain and body where trauma actually lives
❤️‍🩹 Help you feel your way to healing—not just talk about it
🧘‍♀️ Create real-time relief, safety, and calm in your nervous system

Why ART Is Different
Most trauma therapies rely on retelling and re-exposure, which can lead to retraumatization, overwhelm, or emotional shutdown.

Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is different. It’s fast, gentle, and effective.
✅ No need to share every detail
✅ No retraumatization
✅ Resolution at the end of each session

You don’t have to leave therapy feeling worse.
You can leave feeling lighter, safer, and more in control.

Your trauma wants to be heard. Your therapy should speak its language.

Hi, I’m glad you’re here. A little about me…

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work and a Bachelors in Psychology. I love what I do. I am also a wife, a mom, a business owner, and a musician. I have been interested in the inner-workings of the mind for as long as I can remember but was solidified in my career path after experiencing the positive impact of therapy in my own life as a young adult. I have worked as a therapist in private practice for over 4 years. Helping my clients gain a sense of stability, confidence, and empowerment in their lives is my passion. Some of my favorite areas to help with are anxiety, perfectionism, low self-esteem, and challenges with managing intense emotions. These are the areas where I feel make the most impact. I love working with young adults, couples, and moms. I am trained in dialectical behavior therapy, accelerated resolution therapy, and the gottman method. I am a lover of learning and enjoy devouring information about the latest and best treatment methods to improve emotional and psychological health.

No matter where you are on your mental health journey - I hope the material on my page will provide you with tools, inspiration, and information that you will find relatable & helpful in your own life. ❤️

If this concept is foreign to you, that’s ok. But this post is for those who understand what this feels like. I have witnessed and sat across from countless individuals as they’ve wrestled with “dysregulated joy” - feeling immediately destabilized by positive change. Joy can be a terrifying feeling when we lack the tools for emotional regulation or when we haven’t healed the core wounds that caused our dysregulated emotions in the first place.

Someone who experiences “dysregulated joy” often, accompanied by terror, may also subconsciously give up on experiencing joy and consistently resort to more low-arousal emotions that seem easier to “tolerate” (ex. Numbness, apathy, and sadness).
