A Bit About Me

Hello, I'm Regina.

​

My clinical work has two areas of focus: couples therapy and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.

​

From the beginning of my career, I chose to focus specifically on couples therapy, which allowed me to develop genuine depth in this area. I have completed extensive training in three of the most well-known and respected approaches in couples therapy: Emotionally Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy. Each brings something distinct and complementary to best support clients' unique needs.

​

Accelerated Resolution Therapy, the second area of my focus, is a brain-based, somatic modality that supports deep shifts quickly. With couples, I integrate it into treatment as needed to help partners address trauma, personal triggers, and reactivity that get in the way of connection. As a standalone treatment for individuals,  Accelerated Resolution Therapy is highly effective for trauma, phobias, and emotional blocks, with meaningful relief often possible within one to five sessions.

​

Together, these approaches form an integrative structure that is evidence-based, attachment-rooted, and trauma-informed, allowing for flexibility within a focused framework.

​

I believe secure relationships are a fundamental human need, and that includes the relationship with yourself as much as with others. With authenticity, clinical knowledge, and genuine care, I support my clients in working toward personal and relational fulfillment.
