SERVING COUPLES

Supporting motivated couples in creating stronger bonds and greater relationship satisfaction. With advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and Relational Life Therapy, I bring three gold-standard couples approaches to every session.

SERVING INDIVIDUALS

Supporting individuals in finding accelerated resolution of painful experiences. Relief from phobias, trauma, PTSD, and unresolved emotional pain can be possible in just a few sessions. The innovative approach of Accelerated Resolution Therapy allows for deep, meaningful shifts, quickly.

This practice is built around personal and relational healing. My work is well-suited to people who are committed to their growth. Couples are invested in their relationship, ready to do the work together, and seek to treat each other with greater intention. Individuals are ready to accelerate real change, seeking freedom from emotional distress and focused resolution.

If You Are a Couple:

  • Feeling disconnected or misunderstood in your relationship

  • Stuck in recurring arguments or conflict that feels impossible to break

  • Experiencing emotional reactions that escalate tension and push you further apart

Together, We Can:

  • Rebuild emotional connection beyond what communication skills alone can offer

  • Identify and interrupt the recurring patterns driving your conflict

  • Increase relationship satisfaction with changes that address presenting issues at their root

If You Are an Individual:

  • Carrying unresolved trauma, post-traumatic stress, or painful memories that affect how you feel and function

  • Struggling with irrational fears or phobias that limit how you live

  • Dealing with specific anxiety or panic that feels impossible to shake

Together, We Can:

  • Process and resolve painful memories and traumatic experiences, often quickly

  • Release phobias and fears that have held you back

  • Rebuild a sense of calm, clarity, and confidence in daily life

Accelerated Resolution Therapy image for Regina Counseling, therapist in Orange County, California

Accelerated Resolution Therapy for focused treatment of trauma, phobias, panic, and unresolved emotional pain, often achieving meaningful shifts in far fewer sessions than traditional talk therapy.

If you have tried therapy before, reaching out to a new provider can feel uncertain. Is it even worth trying? Will this experience be different? The combination of my clinical approach, evidence-based training, and personal style is distinctive. Most people have a clear sense of the fit within the first session or two.
