About Me

If you find yourself getting pulled back into what already happened but feels unending, that's your nervous system's design—it's trying to keep you safe from something like that happening again. But it's overdoing it, because it hasn't figured out how to close the loop and file the memory in the part of the brain that moves things into the historical past. So it can feel like it's happening now.
If you notice yourself reacting strongly, pulled backward into reactions and feelings you try hard to stop having but can't seem to, consider EMDR. It helps interrupt that cycle: you still know what happened, but the memory starts to feel more metabolized and processed, so it stops running the show in your day-to-day life.
I offer EMDR therapy through telehealth for adults anywhere in Massachusetts. I work best with people who are dealing with anxiety, chronic stress, or big life changes and want to move from just managing things to a real sense of ease.
I've been licensed as a therapist since 2007 and have run my own practice since 2010. I also provide care through Mass General Brigham, a Harvard Medical School teaching hospital. My work brings together compassion, clinical skill, and a deep respect for each person's unique path toward healing.
