Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT) is an integrative and holistic approach designed to clear painful emotional responses, and is particularly effective in clearing anxiety and the negative effects of grief or past trauma. Integrative means it integrates both the rational and emotional systems of the brain – through elements of cognitive behavioral therapy, experiential, and meditative techniuqes.

RRT was developed by Dr. Jon Connelly over his thirty years of treating clients with trauma.

EFT is usually a short term (8-20 sessions), structured approach to couples therapy. Emotionally focused therapy for couples (EFT-C) was originally developed in the 1980s by Sue Johnson and Les Greenberg. Johnson found that couples in distress were caught in a dreadful dance of negative interactions that kept them stuck and unable to resolve their conflicts. Using attachment theory, she developed a treatment to help these couples in distress. Today, EFT-C is one of the most empirically validated types of couples therapy.^[7] It has been found that 70–75% of couples move from distress to recovery, and that 90% show significant improvements. These results appear to be less susceptible to relapse than those from other approaches.

Pastoral counseling is a branch of counseling in which psychologically trained ministers, rabbis, priests, imams, and other persons provide therapy services. Pastoral counselors often integrate modern psychological thought and method with traditional religious training in an effort to address psychospiritual issues in addition to the traditional spectrum of counseling services.

Insurance is not accepted and insurance claims are not submitted. A receipt with a diagnosis code will be provided that you may submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

I can’t make a living and provide effective therapy at the rates insurance pays. If I accepted insurance, I would need to see significantly more clients for significantly less time and spend more time processing insurance paperwork.

I choose to spend more time with you in therapy, getting effective results in fewer sessions, and charge a fair price.

I find the story of Jesus meeting the Samaritan woman at the well my favorite image of effective therapy. Jesus engages her as an equal, with respect and compassion. He listens to her intently, reflects back with love the reality of who she is and how she lives. He offers her living water. I want to be an imitator of Jesus.
