Accelerated Trauma Therapy uses the Trauma Adaptation Profile (TAP-Profile)™ to help identify the hidden patterns trauma leaves behind, and how those survival adaptations can become pathways to healing.
Therapy is direct, less costly, more effective.
The goal is to gently remove blocks to your authentic self.
About Me
Originally from Québec, Canada, I began my mental health career as a Registered Nurse with post-graduate certification in Psychiatry.
After 15 years in acute patient care (Psychiatry), I earned a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from McGill University in Montréal, with adjunct research at the Montréal Neurological Institute.
Early research and publications focused on brain studies with McGill’s Electrophysiology Labs, collaborating with Maurice Dongier, MD.
Clinical training included work in McGill’s Migraine and Sleep Labs, Dr. Leslie Solyom’s groundbreaking treatment of phobias, and Dr. Elie Debbane’s group psychotherapy program based on Minuchin’s Structural Family Therapy model.
After accepting a position as Associate Professor at California State University, I continued my practice in Behavioral Medicine/Neuropsychology.
A consultation with a ‘dysfunctional’ executive team at a major bank sparked a recognition for psychologically grounded change in organizations.
Maintaining my psychology license, I help develop trauma-free workplaces, and guide leaders to develop the emotional agility and mindset needed to navigate change.
Over a 25-year period, flying 150 medical missions as a volunteer pilot, I was clinic director and director of community health in Sinaloa México with Liga International—developing community-based health interventions including water filtration systems and trauma treatment programs and groups .
During research for the forthcoming book on trauma healing: Wired Different,I saw the need for an assessment to access patterns, not diagnoses, and for the development of an integrated approach to the treatment of trauma.
