I work with individual adults to promote insight into and shift outdated patterns, build on existing supportive resources, and find relief from posttraumatic symptoms. I believe that intergenerational paradigms and early life experiences can have lifelong influences on how people relate to themselves and others. I am highly focused on the therapeutic relationship, which I view as a safe container in which clients can reflect on their interpersonal patterns and take risks in trying out new ways of relating. One of my specialities is supporting people in healing from trauma; I understand “trauma” to be any experience that has a long-lasting negative impact on one’s life, including interpersonal transgressions, systemic oppression, and disturbing single events. Prior to joining the APP, I was a Fellow at the Trauma Institute, where I facilitated week-long trauma processing intensives using EMDR, Progressive Counting, the Flash technique, and basic ego-state/parts work. Following this, I completed a Fellowship with the Massachusetts Institute of Psychoanalysis. I have since received additional training in working with complex PTSD and dissociation. I now integrate these clinical worlds, bringing powerful trauma-resolution tools into a broader treatment framework that is informed by psychodynamic, relational, and liberation theories. In addition to seeing clients for regular sessions, I also incorporate half-day or day-long trauma-processing intensives.

I have experience working with clients who are neurodivergent, people who are LGBTQIA+, and college students, and I am a current board member of the Western MA EMDR Network. I aim to join clients actively and collaboratively in their development and healing.
