About Me
Healing doesn’t have to take years and decades; meaningful, lasting change can happen in weeks and months. I am an EMDRIA-certified therapist and consultant specializing in transformation-focused healing for adults. I help clients change how their body reacts in distress, resolve old patterns at the root, and break free from unwanted behaviors—moving forward with greater regulation, clarity, and internal freedom.
I don’t believe therapy should take forever. Meaningful, lasting change can happen efficiently through regular EMDR and focused intensives. I typically partner with clients for concentrated periods of 3 to 6 months, inviting folks back as-needed at a pace that works for them.
My primary modality is EMDR, integrated with Brainspotting, the Flash Technique, IFS-informed parts work, and attachment-based principles to support safety, collaboration, and embodied healing. I believe everyone carries the capacity to heal, no matter how long you have felt stuck or what you have lived through.
Many of the adults I work with are driven individuals, professionals, caregivers, and helpers—including therapists, medical providers, and first responders—who have spent years supporting others and are now ready to turn that care inward.
For Men: I frequently work with men ready to explore how early relational experiences and unspoken pressures impact intimacy, self-worth, and emotional connection. Whether you are navigating burnout, fatherhood, reactivity, anger, or long-standing emotional isolation, I offer a grounded space to step out of survival mode and build a clearer sense of direction.
For Women: I support women navigating trauma recovery, major life transitions, and identity shifts. This includes a dedicated focus on the profound somatic shifts of pregnancy, birth processing, and the postpartum transition—helping mothers navigate reproductive trauma, perinatal anxiety or depression, and the complex layers of new motherhood. I also partner with women nearing retirement who are finally ready to process experiences they have repressed for years as work slows down.
I offer ongoing virtual individual sessions and extended or multi-day virtual EMDR intensives for clients located in Maine, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
My practice is private pay, and I provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. You can learn more and book a free consultation through my website, linked on this page.
