EMDR Therapists in Roslindale, MA

I remember the first time I heard the Brené Brown quote, "You can have courage, or you can have comfort, but we can't have both. Not at the same time." I may have uttered an expletive or two as I was surrounded by colleagues at a retreat; it hit a little too close to home. I find myself deeply honored to be there at the moment when a person recognizes that they want more than what they've currently been experiencing. To walk the journey alongside a person who longs for deeper connections, freedom from their history, or who wants to experience truer joy - it is a tremendous privilege.

I specialize in working with people who feel anxious or are trying to cope with the aftermath of upsetting or traumatic experiences. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who is authentic, hopeful, and sees them as a whole person, not just what they have been through. Sessions with me feel like a warm and collaborative conversation with someone you trust. I offer personalized care that is tailored to your specific needs and rooted in well researched treatments such as EMDR, CBT, and DBT. Our work together can focus on recent events and emotional experiences, or older issues that feel unresolved.

I specialize in the really hard stuff life throws our way. I work with adults, college students, and teens affected by grief and loss, complex trauma (abuse and neglect) and PTSD, serious and chronic health conditions (like cancer, ALS, MS, MD), disability, and other big life changes and challenges resulting in depression and anxiety. I believe that our inability to control what happens to us is not something to be overcome. Instead, it is the reality of life that we all live within. This is where the real work of being a person begins. And this is where good, meaningful, compassionate therapy comes in. I'm glad you're here.

Sometimes during sex you cry, dissociate, or try to just "get through it". You're worried you might never get over the bad things that have happened to you and that on some level you are broken.
