Trauma Therapy

I am dedicated to helping individuals move beyond the limitations of their minds by fostering a deeper connection with their bodies and emotional experiences. For many people, early experiences are in the driver’s seat of their lives - often without them even realizing it. When it comes to trauma and attachment wounds, the event itself may be in the past, but it’s legacy lives on in the body, influencing relationships, daily functioning, and overall well-being.

This approach to therapy may be right for you if you experience any of the following:

Feeling constantly on edge, even when nothing seems wrong
Getting caught up in emotional, knee-jerk reactions
Feeling stuck in the same loops even after trying to move on
Feeling unfulfilled even after achieving your goals
Chronic, unexplained pain, muscle tension or other physical symptoms
Feeling overly responsible for the needs of others
Repeating unhealthy relationship patterns
Struggling with indecision, mental overwhelm, or lack of clarity
Low self-esteem, self-doubt, or persistent feelings of shame
Blaming yourself for the actions or behaviors of others

If one or more of these experiences resonates with you, know that life doesn’t have to stay this way. Imagine feeling more connected in your relationships, moving through your day with greater ease and clarity, feeling less activated to life’s challenges, and experiencing a greater connection to who you truly are.

I know this kind of change is possible – not only because I witness it in my clients, but because I’ve experienced it myself.

In our work together, therapy focuses on uncovering the underlying patterns contributing to your symptoms while supporting meaningful healing and growth. I blend techniques from multiple modalities to create a treatment approach tailored to your unique needs. Depending on your goals, this may include EMDR, parts work, or body-based psychotherapy.

I offer in-person sessions in New Hampshire and Telehealth sessions across NH, MA, and ME.

Relationship Therapy

I am trained in a specialized form of couples therapy called Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). This is a humanistic, and evidence-based approach grounded in attachment theory that helps partners strengthen and restore their emotional connection.

In EFT, we understand that every couple develops patterns of interaction that therapists refer to as “cycles.” These cycles are repetitive and often distressing patterns that interfere with emotional safety and connection. If you and your partner find yourselves having the same argument over and over again, or getting stuck in the same painful dynamic, this approach may be a good fit for you.

Through the EFT lens, I do not view either partner as the problem. Rather, the cycle itself becomes the focus of our work. Most conflict in relationships stems from unmet attachment needs – or the universal human need to feel loved, valued, understood and emotionally connected.

Unfortunately, many of us are not aware of these deeper needs. Instead, what we see are the protective strategies we’ve developed over time through our earliest relationships and life experiences. These adaptations show up as anger, frustration, irritation, anxiety, or withdrawal. Beneath these reactions are more vulnerable feelings: feeling shut out, unwanted, misunderstood, alone, too much, not enough, criticized or under attack. It’s in this place where couples get stuck.

My role is to help uncover what lies beneath the surface – to look underneath the hood and make sense of the deeper emotions and attachment needs driving the cycle. The EFT roadmap coupled with my extensive training in trauma, allows me to tailor this work to the unique experiences and challenges of each couple.

Sessions typically begin with developing a deep understanding of who you are as individuals and as a couple. Together, we identify and map the patterns of interaction that keep you stuck. One we can see the dance clearly; we begin to slow it down and explore the emotions underneath it. This is where we get to the heart of the matter – by bringing these experiences into the open, couples create new ways of connecting that foster greater safety, understanding, and closeness.
