About Me
I'm a licensed therapist based in the Boston area, trained in EMDR and specializing in trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kinds of experiences that can be difficult to put into words.
I work with people who feel stuck, isolated, or like they're carrying something they can't quite name, and I help them move toward clarity, belonging, and a truer expression of who they are.
My approach integrates EMDR with somatic awareness, IFS, and systemic constellation work, exploring how patterns in our family system and across generations shape who we are today. If you've spent a lot of time in therapy and still sense that something remains unresolved, this wider lens may open something new.
I work with clients in person in the Boston area and via telehealth throughout Massachusetts. I'd love to connect.
Education & Experience
I received my Systemic Constellations Facilitation certification at the Inner Arts Institute, where I continue to receive training and serve as a member of the teaching team. I also serve as a Guide for the Syzygy Institute, assisting with trainings in IFS-Informed EMDR. I earned my bachelor's degree from the University of Michigan and an MSW from Simmons University School of Social Work.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years as a yoga teacher, restorative yoga therapist, and wellness coach. Those experiences continue to shape how I work today, alongside training in Reiki, Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and Advanced Integrated Energy Therapy (IET). Together, they inform an approach that values the connection between mind, body, relationship, and nervous system.
