Accelerated Trauma Therapy …
is therapy for people who feel stuck in patterns that used to protect them. Understand the patterns, reduce suffering, and move toward a more fully lived life.
What may look like symptoms is often the result of survival strategies that once helped you cope. The TAP-Profile helps understand these signatures, or patterns.
Start with a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions, discuss your goals, and see whether this approach feels like a fit.
“It’s about freeing you—from shame, from mislabeling, from the exhausting performance of normality so many of us have rehearsed our entire lives.
You may have been told you were lazy, weird, crazy, dramatic, messy, too much, or not enough.
You may have learned to keep your hands folded, your mouth shut, and your feelings buried.
Maybe you grew up adapting brilliantly to impossible conditions—by shutting down, snapping shut, or armoring up. Many of us did. We were creative children who became strategic adults, quietly compensating for what no one helped us name.
But we were never broken. And being ‘wired different’ was never a flaw.”

Frequently asked questions
-
This is a therapy approach that helps you work through trauma without needing to relive details. The goal is to reduce the suffering of repeating patterns that cause pain and help you feel more in control of your life.
It’s called ‘accelerated’ because it’s highly focused on the specific factors that block you, thus saving your time and energy.
-
We start by understanding what is happening for you now. Then we use a mix of supportive therapies to help your mind and body respond in healthier ways.

No. It can also help with chronic stress, anxiety, grief, emotional overwhelm, or patterns that keep repeating in your life.
Many people seek therapy because something feels stuck, even if they can’t point to one single cause.
-
Every person’s journey is unique, and therapy length depends on what brings you here, the support you have around you, and what you’ve tried before.
Some people benefit most from short-term therapy focused on one concern, often in just 1 to 5 sessions. For longer-standing patterns, most clients reach their goals in about 6 to 10 sessions.

I don’t bill insurance directly, but I’m happy to provide a monthly statement you can submit for reimbursement.
I recommend calling your insurance provider to learn about your out-of-network benefits, deductible, and coverage details. That way, you’ll know what to expect.
If you seek reimbursement, a diagnosis may need to be included on the superbill as part of your record. We can talk through that if you have questions.
Many California plans cover telehealth, though it depends on your specific plan.
The easiest way to know for sure is to call the number on the back of your insurance card and ask about telehealth and behavioral health benefits. I can help you figure it out.
I accept Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, and all major credit cards through a secure, HIPAA-compliant processor.
By signing, you authorize charges to the card on file for sessions and late-cancel fees. You can always change or revoke that authorization anytime.
