Psychotherapy...

Psychotherapy can offer relief from what is overwhelming you now while also creating space to transform what you have been carrying for years. It provides fertile ground for reducing symptoms, strengthening stability, understanding patterns, processing trauma, deepening relationships, and practicing new ways of living.

​

Who I Work With...

I work with thoughtful, capable adults who may appear to be functioning well while carrying trauma, depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, recurring suicidal thoughts, chronic illness, self-criticism, relationship pain, or disconnection from their bodies. Many have become skilled at pushing through, caring for others, or holding everything together without receiving the support they needed themselves.

I have particular depth in working with attachment wounds and relational trauma, including emotional neglect, abandonment, inconsistent or emotionally immature caregiving, parental conflict or separation, and abuse. These experiences can continue to shape the nervous system, relationships, self-worth, and the ability to recognize and honor your own needs.

​

How We Work...

My work is expressive arts and somatic psychotherapy. Embodiment and creativity are not occasional additions to the therapy; they are central ways we understand, express, and transform experience.

Sessions may engage conversation, bodily sensation, movement, imagery, art-making, writing, metaphor, breath, meditation, Authentic Movement, spiritual practice, and the therapeutic relationship. We may focus on reducing symptoms, recognizing early signs of imbalance, and preventing escalation into major depressive or mood episodes. We may also work with how trauma and survival strategies continue to live in the body, relationships, and choices.

No experience or skill with art, dance, yoga, or movement is required.

 

What Can Change...

Progress may include fewer or less intense episodes, suicidal thoughts becoming less consuming, recovering more quickly from distress, feeling safer and more present in your body, trusting your perceptions, setting boundaries, and making more intentional choices.

The work can also involve reclaiming creativity, spirituality, pleasure, intimacy, meaning, connection, and aliveness. The goal is not simply to become better at enduring distress, but to develop greater choice in how you relate to yourself, your body, other people, and your life.

There may be laughter, tears, stillness, movement, and surprise. We bring your whole experience into the room.

 

Practical Details...

I work with adults through virtual psychotherapy throughout Massachusetts. Private-pay sessions are $160. I can provide superbills for you to submit to your insurance company for possible out-of-network reimbursement; reimbursement depends upon your individual plan.
