Move past your past.
Trauma Therapy
in Concord, MA.
AND ONLINE THROUGHOUT MASSACHUSETTS
You’re tired of feeling stuck in old patterns and want support that gets to the root.
Maybe it shows up as anxiety that spikes out of nowhere. Tension you can't quite explain. Flashbacks, or reactions that feel bigger than the moment calls for. Patterns you've tried to break but keep finding your way back into. If any of this sounds familiar, it's often a sign that past trauma is still running in the background even if you've already tried to think or talk your way past it.
Therapy can help you actually process what happened, not just manage the symptoms of it. Using evidence-based approaches, including EMDR when appropriate, we work together to help you feel more grounded, present, and back in control of your own reactions.
Sound like you?
You're high-functioning on the outside, but something underneath never fully settles.
You keep repeating patterns in relationships or reactions, even when you can see them coming.
You've done therapy before, and you're ready for something that actually shifts things, not just more talking.
Small triggers set off reactions that feel bigger than the moment actually calls for.
Here’s what we’ll do together
Therapy can help you process past trauma and release what’s been holding you back
Healing from trauma isn't about forgetting what happened. It's about helping your mind and body recognize that the danger has passed, and that you're safe now.
Trauma therapy offers a space to explore what you've been carrying, at a pace that actually feels right for you. Not rushed and not avoided. Many people come to this work feeling stuck in old patterns, hypervigilant, disconnected, or exhausted from trying to manage the impact of painful experiences entirely on their own. Together, we work to restore a sense of safety and trust in both body and mind.
I draw from a range of evidence-based approaches, chosen based on what you actually need rather than a fixed formula:
EMDR to help your nervous system process distressing memories, not just talk around them
Psychodynamic therapy to understand where your patterns began and why they've persisted
Internal Family Systems (IFS) principles to connect with and support the parts of you that carry fear, self-criticism, or old protective habits
This combination lets us work on two levels at once by exploring the roots of what happened, and the day to day impact it's still having on your life now.
For clients who want a more concentrated approach, EMDR Intensives offer extended sessions. These are several hours at once, or multiple sessions across a single week and are designed to accelerate processing when weekly sessions feel too slow. If you're already working with another therapist, Adjunct EMDR Therapy is a collaborative option focused specifically on stuck points or triggers, alongside your existing work.
For those who've tried these approaches and still feel stuck, I also offer Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP) and a specialized integration of ketamine with EMDR (KA-EMDR), which can help reach material that's felt too overwhelming to access through talk therapy alone.
Whether through weekly sessions, intensives, adjunct work, or ketamine-assisted treatment, trauma therapy offers a path toward relief and a greater sense of connection to yourself and your life.
At the end of the day, I want you to know:
Past experiences don’t have to continue holding you back. Healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone.

FAQs
-
Trauma isn't only about major single events. It can also come from prolonged stress, neglect, difficult relationships, or experiences that overwhelmed your ability to cope at the time. If something from your past still affects you today, it's worth exploring, regardless of how it compares to someone else's experience.
-
Traditional talk therapy focuses on understanding and discussing what happened. EMDR is designed to help your brain and body actually process and "unstick" distressing memories, often reducing their emotional intensity in a way that insight alone doesn't always achieve.
-
Trauma work can bring up difficult emotions at times, but we move at a pace that feels manageable for you. This isn't about flooding you with distress. Part of the early work together is building the resources and grounding skills to help you feel safe processing what comes up.
-
That's actually common, and often means a different approach is needed. EMDR and KA-EMDR work differently than standard talk therapy and can reach material that didn't shift with insight based work alone.
-
Yes. EMDR Intensives condense the work into extended sessions over a shorter timeframe, which can be a good fit if your schedule doesn't allow for consistent weekly appointments or if you're looking to accelerate progress.
