Trauma Focused Therapists in Boston, MA
Taking the step to start therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. I work with people who have experienced trauma, anxiety, or difficult life transitions and are looking for real relief and healing. Many of my clients come to me feeling stuck in cycles of stress, self-doubt, or painful memories that continue to affect their present lives. In our work together, you’ll find a safe, supportive space where you can process what you’ve been through and begin to move forward. I use EMDR, along with evidence-based approaches like CBT and mindfulness, ot only talk about your experiences but actually heal from them.

It can be extremely hard to revisit times of deep hurt, and these blockages may have even been adaptive for you. At the same time, I believe that pain lives with you and manifests in the mind, body, and spirit if left unprocessed. I believe healing occurs when we release those blockages. I hope to do this together. I hope to instill the strength in you that you have the ability to re-story your narrative and break generational cycles.

Sometimes the ways we learned to survive are the very things now keeping us stuck. If you’ve found yourself overthinking, constantly on edge, emotionally shut down, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or feeling like you’re carrying experiences your body never fully got to process, you are not alone! Therapy to me is not about judgment, fixing you, or forcing quick answers. It is about creating a space where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood while we begin making sense of what your mind and body have been holding.

I believe everyone has a story and everyone has inherent self-worth. I also believe everyone has the opportunity to heal and grow. People seek therapy for many different reasons. Therefore, my goal is to blend meaningful relationships and interventions with flexibility around one’s unique life circumstances. I recognize the power and potential of therapeutic relationships such as increasing awareness, broadening perspectives and bettering self-acceptance. Therapy provides a chance for authentic expression and experience of oneself that is not always present in everyday life, which is one reason I honor working with my clients.

You might find yourself living with constant worry, a harsh inner critic, or thoughts that get stuck on repeat and feel hard to quiet. At times, even everyday situations can feel overwhelming, leading to a freeze response or a sense of not feeling fully safe in your body. For neurodivergent folks or those impacted by past trauma, these reactions make sense—they’re your nervous system’s way of trying to protect you, not signs of something “wrong” with you. Using a trauma-informed approach, we’ll work gently together to help your nervous system experience more safety, balance, and calm. You do not have to go through this alone.
