Welcome to Boston Trauma Therapy, LLC, located in the Back Bay neighborhood of Boston, MA. Feel free to look around my site to learn about me and the services I offer. I am a Licensed Psychologist in the state of Massachusetts. I received my Ph. D. in Clinical Psychology from Syracuse University in 2010. During my therapy training, I worked in a variety of settings including community mental health, college mental health, primary care, and rape crisis.
Following my formal education, I was an Assistant/Associate Clinical Professor at Brigham Young University for nearly a decade. My clinical focus has been on trauma. I have extensive experience working with sexual abuse/assault and domestic violence as well as other forms of trauma and PTSD. I was formally trained in trauma therapy at Vera House Incorporated in Syracuse, New York where I provided trauma-informed interventions to children, adolescents, and adults.
I have also worked with individuals trying to cope with difficult medical diagnoses.

Services
My approach to therapy is largely grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy and other trauma-informed interventions such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I place emphasis on the mind/body connection in the healing of trauma and my approach is informed by attachment theory.
The negative effects of trauma are often carried in people's nervous systems and bodies long after the trauma has passed; resulting in either heightened or blunted emotional and bodily states.
In therapy we will work together to help you feel more calm, centered, connected, and alive.

Prior to scheduling our first appointment, we will set up a brief phone consultation to discuss your presenting concerns, to see if they fall within the scope of my practice, to answer any questions you have, and to determine therapeutic fit.
