I am a clinical psychologist specializing in trauma treatment with adolescents and adults in Westport, CT. Traditional psychotherapy approaches often come up short in healing trauma, as traumatic memories live in the body. I am a certified Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and EMDR practitioner. Both modalities that address stuck thoughts, physical sensations and memories related to trauma. If you are someone who has gained valuable insight from psychotherapy but continues to repeat familiar patterns or relive past experiences, these treatments may be helpful to you.
