EMDR Therapists in Wellesley, MA

I have a passion for working with adults who are healing from trauma; members of the LGBTQIA+ community, and specifically trans and gender non-conforming adults; artists and creatives; and suicide loss survivors.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW). I earned my Masters Degree from Boston University School of Social Work in 2000. I have over 21 years of experience working with adults and have practiced in college counseling centers, health centers, and outpatient settings. My approach is flexible and strength-based. I adapt my clinical approach to each client based on their needs to help them make healthy changes in their lives. I offer brief and long-term treatment for a variety of issues including depression, grief and loss, anxiety, trauma, stress management, women's issues, and substance abuse.

Everyone experiences distressing or overwhelming challenges at different points in life. Many people struggle to manage these inevitable difficulties, get stuck and then subsequently feel defined by their emotional pain. This can negatively impact relationships, ambitions, work and self-worth. I believe in people’s inherent right to live meaningful and joyful lives and in their ability to choose how to respond to life’s challenges. I support my clients through their courageous process of self-exploration and self-compassion.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker and certified coach and believe that at our core, we are resilient and possess the strength and power needed to live our best lives. But sometimes we need help. Life may present us with curve balls and feel bumpy and hard at times. Whether you’re feeling stuck in your personal life or professionally, l am here to partner with you to find clarity and a sense of relief. My work draws on Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), trauma theory ( EMDR ) and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Do you want to find a therapist who is attentive, respectful, empathic and effective? Are you struggling with feelings of deep sadness or anxiety? Do you find certain issues in your life overwhelming? I will provide a safe and non-judgmental environment for you to talk comfortably about your problems, challenges, hopes and goals. I enjoy developing warm and trusting relationships with my clients, and believe that you deserve to be happier.

Are you dealing with anxiety, sadness, shame, grief, trauma or stuff you really want to let go of in your life? Or perhaps you are feeling a sense of not being good enough, struggling with confidence and self-criticism? Pain may show up as feeling numb or angry, withdrawing from school or work, family and friends. Hiding the stress doesn't help you feel better. My approach is collaborative and non-judgmental, focused on helping you deal with pain from the past and deal with present challenges with greater ease and confidence. If you'd like to feel better about yourself and your life, I can help you get there.

You didn’t expect life to look like this. You feel overwhelmed, disillusioned, or like your life is never going to change. You feel disconnected from your friends, family, and maybe even yourself. But you don’t want to live your life this way anymore. You’re no longer happy with the status quo. Most of all, you’re ready to feel free and regain control of your life. Therapy can help you manage the stress in your life and create the life you want, whatever that may look like.

I have a deep appreciation for an individual's thoughts, emotions and wishes. Within the framework of a safe and trusting therapy relationship, individuals can gain the understanding and skills needed to make changes toward a more fulfilling life. Regardless of what brings a person to therapy-a desire for deeper understanding of self, alleviation of symptoms, or help responding to an internal or interpersonal conflict. The use of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), EMDR (Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) along with other behavioral interventions enable clients to reach their goal. My clients have described me as warm, open, easy to talk with and respectful.

I have been practicing psychotherapy with individuals and couples for more than 30 years. My style is interactive and I try to provide safety and support in order to understand and explore the issues and concerns you bring forward. I have extensive training and experience in using EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing}. Additionally I use a mix of relational, psychodynamic and cognitive approaches.

I help teens feel in better control of their experience, be more intentional with their choices, and develop new habits and awareness to increase their satisfaction.

I believe that you have the capacity to heal, using pathways that we will navigate together. I welcome the privilege to accompany you on your journey.
