About

I am a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts, with extensive experience in trauma-focused therapy. I am proficient in body-based approaches, developed by Bessel Van der Kolk, Peter Levine, and their colleagues. I love working with couples, helping partners to improve communication and rekindle their love for each other.
I am certified as an EMDR therapist. EMDR is a cutting-age approach to treating severe trauma, including complex trauma (defined as accumulation of "relatively insignificant" traumatic events through life).
My experience is international. Even though all my psychology degrees and trainings have been received in the USA, I have lived and worked in a few other countries, culturally drastically different. I have a good understanding of challenging of adjusting to a new culture, as well as navigating cultural differences with friends and family members (parents, husbands/romantic partners, and even your own children)
I have experience working with adopted children and adoptive families.
